The agreement and prompt implementation of these initiatives hold significant importance in promoting tourism, contributing to socio-economic development, and bringing mutual benefits to the people on both sides of the border.
This was one of the activities aimed at concretising the agreements and cooperation between the leaders of Lang Son Province (Vietnam) and the leaders of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China), further strengthening exchanges and collaboration across multiple fields, including promoting cross-border tourism.
