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 province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT). In recent years, support from central and provincial policies, as well as assistance from non-governmental organisations, have encouraged local ethnic minority and mountainous communities to actively engage in the sector.
Van Son Commune, Tan Lạc district, Hoa Binh province also known as "Cloud Valley," boasts a cool climate, stunning natural landscapes, and majestic scenery. Visitors who have been to this place should make a stop at Chien Hamlet to experience a lot of fascinating things and feel the friendly, warmth of the Muong ethnic people.
Thanks to the effective exploitation of natural landscape and the cultural diversity of ethnic minorities, Hoa Binh province has become an attractive destination for tourists seeking experiences and exploration.
The Department of Cultural Heritage has just coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province to organize a training on implementing the model of the cultural heritage connected in the cultural tourism journey in Cao Phong and Lac Son districts.
The Sung village in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, is endowed with pristine natural landscape, and Dao Tien ethnic minority community in the village preserves rich cultural heritage, including traditional housing, clothing, language, scripts, customs, and daily life practices. Since the community-based tourism model was introduced in the locality, these traditional cultural values have been further preserved and promoted.
