China always considers Vietnam a priority in its overall neighborhood diplomacy, and stands ready to push for deeper and more substantive ties between the two Parties and countries, said Premier of the State Council of China Li Qiang.

BAC NINH - Vietnamese businesses need to strengthen their internal capabilities to participate more deeply in global supply chains, but this alone is not enough. Experience in Bac Ninh shows that partnerships with foreign-invested corporations, support from government agencies and closer links with training institutions are creating opportunities for domestic firms to upgrade technology, develop smart factories and improve their positions in manufacturing and supply networks.

With the digital economy accounting for a leading share of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) nationwide, the northern city of Bac Ninh is accelerating cashless payments in public services, online shopping and the marketing of products on digital platforms.

Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra requested activities must leave strong impact right from the first year of implementation so that November 24 becomes an annual occasion that people eagerly anticipate and actively participate in.
