Highlighting local strengths, potential, and socio-economic development, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh said that the province prioritises investments in the areas of high-quality supporting industry, production and processing of agro-forestry-aquatic goods, and the development of resort tourism and urban areas.
The local administration always rolls out red carpet for investors and will create favourable conditions for them to successfully carry out their projects and ensure sustainable development, he stressed.
Affirming the time-honoured ties between the two countries, Indian Ambassador to Vietnam Sandeep Arya expressed his hope that the bilateral collaboration will become more dynamic in the coming time on the back of various economic trade pacts with commitments to enhancing comprehensive cooperation across politics, economy-trade, culture, education-training, and science – technology.
He described Hoa Binh as a promising locality for investment, pointing out several promising areas for cooperation such as high-tech agriculture, pharmaceuticals, information technology, and tourism. He also suggested the two sides expand collaboration to finance, infrastructure, electrification, thermal and hydroelectric power plants, and renewable energy technologies.
The event not only created an opportunity for the two sides to step up investment promotion and foster diplomatic ties and multifaceted cooperation but also affirmed Hoa Binh’s resolve to overcome challenges and capitalise on opportunities to fulfill its goal of reaching the nation’s average economic development for the 2020-2025 tenure.
Earlier, the delegation of the Indian Embassy, organisations, and businesses visited the Yen Quang industrial park and the Tien Tien Industrial Cluster in Hoa Binh city, and Giang Mo hamlet in Cao Phong district.
The Cao Phong orange has emerged as a shining example of sustainable agricultural development in Hoa Binh province, distinguished as the first and only locally produced agricultural product to receive a geographical indication certification. Renowned for its thin skin, juicy flesh, and delicate sweet flavour, the fruit has won the heart of consumers for years. Local farmers have made their efforts to cultivate environmentally friendly and consumer-safe products, creating a stable and sustainable brand identity.
In recent years, ethnic minority households in the province have embraced forestry and livestock farming as key drivers of income generation. By harnessing the economic potential of forests, these communities have not only improved their livelihoods but also contributed to sustainable development.
Da Bac district is striving to complete land clearance for the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau expressway project in the first quarter of next year. As of the end of November, the district handed over land for just 3 km of the road, from km 24+500 to km 27+500 in Cao Son commune.
Participating in the "Week introducing the products of Hoa Binh Province in 2024” recently held in Hanoi, the product introducing booth of Mo Duc Organic Agricultural Cooperative (Nhan Nghia Commune, Lac Son District) attracted consumers' attention. In addition to the district's outstanding OCOP products, the Cooperative proudly introduced the fresh products made from snails such as snail sausage stuffed with snail shells, and snail sausage stuffed with bamboo tubes... Many diners were particularly impressed with these products, so they not only shopped right at the booth but also contacted to order in large quantities.
