At the meeting, Chairman Linh briefed the Australian enterprises on the local socio-economy, particularly the agricultural potentials. Bac Giang province is considered one of the biggest orchards in the North of Vietnam with the major fruits as lychee and citrus trees among others.

Regarding the formalities, he committed to instructing the departments and sectors to timely handle the issues on investment procedure, construction site and introduce the qualified partners for a sustainable collaboration.

Besides, the Australian enterprises are encouraged to carefully survey the local area toward an extended investment promotion. The chicken raising area in Yen The district was introduced to them as a good site for sufficient and correct information.
