The cooperation documents, inked at a conference in Dien Bien Phu city on March 21, cover technology transfer in ginseng cultivation and processing and agricultural development, investment attraction and tourism in Dien Bien.

According to Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Thanh Do, Dien Bien has favourable conditions for agro-forestry and tourism development. However, the province still lacks projects by big international investors in these fields.

Briefing the participants on Dien Bien’s development orientations, including the renewable energy development plan, Do called on Korean firms to help the province with the study work and pour long-term investments there.
