The event is seen as a significant step forward in promoting bilateral economic, trade, and investment cooperation at the local level.
In his opening remarks, Consul General Nguyen Viet Dung emphasized the practical significance of the event in realizing the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and China. He highly appreciated Guangdong's leading position in trade with Vietnam and the vast potential of Đắk Lắk Province—a region rich in resources with key agricultural products such as coffee, durian, pepper, and tropical fruits. Furthermore, he affirmed that with a sustainable production structure, Dak Lak can become a stable, long-term, and reliable supplier for the Chinese market.
According to the Consul General, Dak Lak is emerging as a dynamic economic growth hub in the Central Highlands and South Central Coast. In the first nine months of 2025, the province approved investment policies for 33 projects with a total capital of over 32,500 billion VND. These figures are not merely optimistic signals but evidence of a promising investment environment. With the local government's commitment to providing maximum support for investors, this is a key factor in ensuring businesses' confidence in choosing to invest long-term in Dak Lak.
