Ninh Binh is a model highly praised by UNESCO for its green, sustainable, and harmonious development, based on the protection of natural resources and the revival of cultural heritage. At the same time, it promotes harmony between people and nature, works to transform its cultural heritage into an important resource for developing cultural industries, tourism, and the heritage economy, which are key economic sectors of the province.

In the coming time, Ninh Binh aims to build a millennium-old heritage city and a creative city with its own unique identity; and become a centre for cultural industries and creative economies worldwide, so as to make the most of the soft power of culture, he added.

Stressing that Ninh Binh is the first destination in his official visit to Vietnam, Alen Simonyan showed his impression with the province's development potential, particularly in the fields of automobile manufacturing and tourism.

He also noted that Armenia is an important partner of Vietnam and, in the coming time, this relationship will continue to be strengthened not only at the national but also at the local level.
