and investment following a workshop held in the former locality on November 10.

With cultural diversity and imposing scenery, the Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark has been recognised by the UNESCO as the first one of its kind in Vietnam.
The province’s export-import value hit 1.38 billion USD last year and is forecast to reach 2.7 billion USD this year.
