Mr. Vincent Karremans said: "Rotterdam, a city where 85% of its land lies below sea level. For centuries, we've developed numerous policies and invested heavily in coastal reinforcement to combat flooding. The visit to Ho Chi Minh City's planning projects, particularly Sala Urban Area, signifies a crucial step in our collaboration. This exchange fosters a commitment to sustainable urban development, allowing both cities to learn from each other's experiences in tackling shared environmental issues."

“Effective housing planning is crucial for the success of Vietnam's real estate market. Leveraging our extensive experience and cutting-edge infrastructure construction technology, we are committed offering comprehensive support and sharing our expertise to help you navigate large-scale real estate projects," he added.

The meeting between THADICO and the Rotterdam City Vice Mayor has opened doors for exciting possibilities in collaborative development of sustainable real estate projects. This exchange presents a valuable opportunity for THADICO to gain valuable insights to improve the flood situation in Thu Duc City and ensure the long-term success of THADICO's future projects.

To address climate change and water resource challenges, Ho Chi Minh City and Rotterdam City established a collaborative framework through a July 2023 Memorandum of Understanding which focuses on implementing specific projects in these crucial areas.
