Long was accompanied by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Nguyen Van Toan, head of the Party Committee’s Organisation Commission Bui Thi
Minh, and representatives from departments, agencies and localities in Hoa
Binh.
The delegation is scheduled to popularise Hoa Binh’s potential, advantages,
investment environment, investment attraction mechanisms and policies, products
under the "One Commune-One Product” programme, and tourist sites to Thai investors.
As part of their trip, the officials visited the Vietnamese Embassy in the
country on July 15.
From July 17-20, they will hold working sessions with authorities of Bangkok
city, the Thailand-Vietnam Business Council, business associations, and big
groups of Thailand, and organise a conference on investment, trade and tourism
promotion in the capital city. This will be an opportunity for Thai
organisations, businesses, and investors to explore investment cooperation, and
import-export opportunities, and develop tours to Hoa Binh.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
