He also affirmed that over the past time, the provinces of Bung Can, Sakon Nakhon, Kakhon Phanom, and Nong Khai of Thailand have had a close cooperation relationship with Nghe An within the framework of the Association of Provinces Using Route 8 and Route 12 of the three countries Vietnam - Laos - Thailand (APOTC).

Thanks to that, the two sides actively exchanged and cooperated in many fields, especially in the economic field. Thailand registered to invest in 12 FDI projects with a total registered capital of more than 228 million USD. Hemaraj Group of Thailand has also been licensed to implement an infrastructure investment project at Hemaraj Industrial Park - Nghe An with a total investment of up to 1 billion USD. This is the driving force for Thai enterprises to continue to choose Nghe An as a destination for economic cooperation.

In the coming time, we hope Nghe An will continue to create favorable conditions for Thai businesses to have the opportunity to continue investing and improve economic efficiency for both sides.
