Director of the provincial Department of Planning and Investment Nguyen Thai Ha said this will be a chance for Cao Bang to tap into its agricultural and forestry potential and make use of the advantages of a border province with international border gates and crossing points, which are favourable for trading activities between Vietnam and its biggest trade partner – China.
Local authorities will also grant investment approvals and investment registration certificates to 16 projects with total registered capital of 4.2 trillion VND (181 million USD) at this event.
Ha said Cao Bang has specified about 30 projects in different areas, including agriculture – rural development, industry, transport, trade, tourism, border economy and mineral mining, to call for investment in at the upcoming conference.
Also at this event, some memoranda of understanding on investment cooperation are set to be signed, including the Dong Dang – Tra Linh expressway project (worth 21 trillion VND), and the complex of Thang Hen Lake, Ban Gioc Waterfall tourism area and Phia Oac – Phia Den area projects (worth 5 trillion VND).
Local leaders have had many meetings with big Vietnamese businesses like FLC, Sun Group, TNJ, Deo Ca, and TH True Milk to persuade them to invest in the province, and these firms have also come to Cao Bang to make surveys, Ha added.

Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
