Addressing the gathering in Dong Hoi city, Vice Chairman of the Quang Binh People’s Committee Ho An Phong briefed them on the local cultural, historical and natural richness, adding that with flexible and appropriate mechanisms and policies, the province has been attracting domestic and foreign investment in various spheres.
