The two sides discussed conditions, potential and advantages for the local development, challenges for investment connectivity and promotion activities as well as human resources training, the connections among businesses and the sale of farm produce in Hoa Binh and Japan.

Addressing the session, Vice Chairman Chuong said that this visit by Vietnamese businesses in Japan to explore the local investment environment is a meaningful activity on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the bilateral diplomatic relations.

Hoa Binh is keen on bringing more products and workers to Japan, he said, expressing his hope that the VJBA will serve as a bridge connecting the province and Japan in the fields of culture, politics and diplomacy.

He assigned the Hoa Binh Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Centre to act as a connection point of the province, linking local departments, sectors and trade associations to take steps to effectively implement cooperation activities with the VJBA.

Hoa Binh’s gross regional domestic product (GRDP) grew 9.03% last year, with per capita income reaching 66.7 million VND (2,827 USD) per year. The rate of trained labourers was 59.2%.
