The province has great potential to develop tourism and services as it boasts numerous historical and cultural relic sites, famous landscapes and especially the Space of the Gong Culture, which was recognised by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage of humanity 

Gia Lai is calling for investment in 61 projects in infrastructure, agro – fishery – forestry, education, culture, sports and tourism, Thanh said.

Borivoij Minar lauded Gia Lai province’s selection of the Czech Republic as a prioritised partner for investment and cooperation.

He spoke highly of the province’s economic potential, saying that the Economic Chamber of the Czech Republic will provide Czech firms with consultancy on trade and investment opportunities in Gia Lai.

He also expressed his support for economic-trade cooperation between localities of both countries.

During their four-day visit which runs through March 30, the Gia Lai delegation plans to work with economic agencies of the Czech Republic and the Vietnamese People Association in the host country.- VNA
