Ninh Binh (VNA) – Ninh Binh hopes to build cooperative relations with Armenia’s historical cities and heritage urban areas, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Doan Minh Huan told visiting President of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia Alen Simonyan on November 18.

Huan informed the guest of Ninh Binh’s geographical location, natural conditions and socio-economic development situation.
Ninh Binh is a model highly praised by UNESCO for its green, sustainable, and harmonious development, based on the protection of natural resources and the revival of cultural heritage. At the same time, it promotes harmony between people and nature, works to transform its cultural heritage into an important resource for developing cultural industries, tourism, and the heritage economy, which are key economic sectors of the province.
In the coming time, Ninh Binh aims to build a millennium-old heritage city and a creative city with its own unique identity; and become a centre for cultural industries and creative economies worldwide, so as to make the most of the soft power of culture, he added.
Stressing that Ninh Binh is the first destination in his official visit to Vietnam, Alen Simonyan showed his impression with the province's development potential, particularly in the fields of automobile manufacturing and tourism.
He also noted that Armenia is an important partner of Vietnam and, in the coming time, this relationship will continue to be strengthened not only at the national but also at the local level. Therefore, following this visit, his entourage will explore the possibility of developing a cooperation programme between Ninh Bình and Armenian localities.

Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
