The Indian ambassador said that there is great potential for Yen Bai's cinnamon products to gain a firm foothold in the Indian market, as they are popular and used a lot by Indian consumers.

The two sides exchanged views on investment and cooperation opportunities in the field of rare earth. Tuan expressed his hope that Indian businesses which have experiences in this field will send technology experts to help local firms in mining and processing rare earth minerals for export.

Sandeep Arya proposed Yen Bai consider organising a trade and investment promotion conference in India to introduce its potential and strengths, popularise its tourism products to Indians, and strengthen bilateral cooperation in digital transformation and cultural exchanges in order to tighten the relationship and solidarity between India and Vietnam.

Duy said he hoped the ambassador will continue paying attention to supporting projects in irrigation, clean water, environmental sanitation, and public health. He affirmed that Yen Bai leaders always accompany businesses operating in the locality.
