Ninh Binh eyes to step up cooperation with Hungarian locality
Ninh Binh (VNA)
- A delegation from the Hungarian National
Assembly (NA) led by First Deputy of the Speaker Márta Mátrai paid a working visit to the northern
province of Ninh Binh on April 15 as part of their trip to Vietnam.
During a working
session with the delegation, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Doan
Minh Huan highlighted the fine relations between Vietnam and Hungary, saying
that the visit contributes to promoting parliamentary diplomacy between the two
countries, and offers a good opportunity for Ninh Binh to expand ties with Balatonfured city of
Hungary.
He briefed the guests on local potential, and strength, saying that Ninh Binh is known as one of the top three automotive
industry centres in Vietnam.
Ninh Binh aims to
become a centrally-run city with a millennium-old urban heritage by 2035. To
achieve this goal, the province needs cooperation of traditional
partners, including Hungary, he said.
The locality
identifies cultural industry and heritage value exploitation as the pillars of
tourism development, he stressed.
Ninh Binh hopes to
collaborate on tourism, training and developing high-quality human resources,
sharing experience in tourism development and cultural preservation and in building
laws related to heritage conservation, especially legislation tailored to urban
areas with heritage, he added.
For her part, Mátrai expressed her impression on the beauty of natural
landscapes of Ninh Binh, and highly valued the working visit of local officials
to Balatonfured in June 2023.
She spoke highly of Ninh Binh's proposals to Hungary in areas such as
investment attraction and legislation, affirming that her country always
supports and promotes these areas.
Regarding education
and training cooperation, Vietnam regularly sends students to study in Hungary,
with approximately 200 students per year, she said.
Apart from granting scholarships, Hungary continues to monitor and
accompany students who have received scholarships to study in Hungary, she
said, adding that this will be an opportunity for people from Ninh Binh to join
this training support./.
