In his speech, the Government leader
expressed his belief that investors will overcome every challenge and reap the
rewards in Ha Giang.
“What you have done today will not
only help improve livelihoods and living standards of local ethnic people and
but also create breakthrough development in this remote border region in the
future,” he said.

Good business models and inclusive
investment projects that can create sustainable jobs and income for locals are
what local authorities target as they are also key to the development of the
whole northwestern region, including Ha Giang, in the time ahead, he added.
He asked provincial authorities to
persist in building an incorruptible and growth-enabling administration that
support businesses. They need to minimize unreasonable business expenses so as
to help enterprises increase labor efficiency and gain sustainable profits,
thereby enhancing Ha Giang’s attractiveness to investors.
“Ha Giang’s competitiveness ranking
must be promoted in the coming time, which is an urgent requirement for the
province’s political system and public employees,” PM Phuc said.
With regard to tourism, he said the
province is completely able to attract tourists all year round. To do that, it
needs to step up popularizing local images and identities, develop
community-based tourism, and revive and bring into play cultural values of
traditional festivals. Ha Giang should also boost manpower training to meet
demand for exploration tourism, leisure, agriculture and herbal farming.

He suggested the province expand
ecological and clean agricultural production, apply high technology in agricultural
production and processing, and build and upgrade agricultural brand names.
The Government will do its utmost to
provide favorable conditions for Ha Giang to develop strongly, PM Phuc
promised.
Ha Giang, which is home to Dong Van
Karst Plateau UNESCO Global Geopark and 19 ethnic groups, aims to become a key
tourism area by 2020.
Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee Trieu Tai Vinh said Ha Giang is determined to have active and
effective integration in the fourth industrial revolution. It has also offered
some incentives for businesses investing in the province such as supporting a
maximum of 15 billion VND (662,500 USD) for each herbal material processing
factory and 10 billion VND (441,700 USD) for each feed factory.
At the conference, the local
administration introduced 26 investment projects worth 16.1 trillion VND (711.1
million USD) in total. It pledged to work to enable investors to quickly launch
these projects soon.
