At the meeting, local leaders affirmed that over the past years, Yen Bai has focused resources on transport, education and healthcare infrastructure in ethnic minority-inhabited areas.

Attention has also been paid to forest-based economy in order to boost forest development and cut greenhouse gas emissions as committed by the Vietnamese Government, they said.

The hosts briefed the delegation on the transport project connecting northern mountainous provinces, from Nghia Lo to the Noi Bai-Lao Cai Expressway, which will help shorten the travel time from Intersection IC14 of the Noi Bai - Lao Cai Expressway to Km 209+500 of National Highway 32.

They thanked the Australian Government, the embassy and the ambassador for their resource support to the Vietnamese Government and localities, including Yen Bai, in infrastructure development, helping the province fulfill its targets.

Local leaders expressed their hope that Yen Bai will receive more support from the Australian side in infrastructure development, and that the embassy will encourage Australian firms to seek investment opportunities in the province and cooperate with the locality in different fields.
