The northern province of Ha Giang on October 2 held a conference to
review one year of the implementation of its 2012-2015 cooperation
programme with Wenshan county of China’s Yunnan province.
Permanent Vice Chairman of the Ha Giang provincial People’s Committee
Nguyen Van Son said the cooperation programme has gained many
encouraging results which create mutual trust, and foster the practical
and effective cooperation between the two localities in all fields.
To deepen their cooperation, in the time to come, the two sides will
focus on exchanging information to help each other achieve their
socio-economic development goals, strengthening the connectivity and
cooperation in trade and investment promotion.
Ha
Giang will call for more investment and give priority to upgrading the
infrastructure of the Thanh Thuy national border gate economic zone in
Vi Xuyen district and the two provinces’ main and auxiliary border gate
pairs.
Over the past one year, the two sides have
also put forth many effective measures to boost their trade ties. Their
two-way trade reached 352 million USD in 2012, a year-on-year increase
of 23 percent. The figure surpassed 350 million USD in the first nine
months of this year and is expected to reach 400 million USD in 2013.-VNA
