annual economic growth rate of 8% and its GDRP per capita in 2017 reached

the country’s northeast region, as the locality shares around 230 kilometres of

its vision on boosting trade, tourism, agriculture and forestry while pushing
border economic development and fostering neighbourly relationship with China.

the province, including preserving local cultural identity, maintaining
security and defence, developing high-tech agriculture and rural areas,
