On August 5, Quang Tri province held talks with a working delegation from Mukdahan province (Thailand) led by Governor Vorayan Bunarat.
Lots of room
Mr. Vo Van Hung - Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee - emphasized that this is an important meeting, demonstrating goodwill for cooperation, opening up many opportunities for both provinces.
Mr. Hung introduced the socio-economic situation of Quang Tri province, major projects being implemented: airport, Cam Lo - Lao Bao highway, conveyor belt transporting coal from Laos to seaport, North - South highway...
He said that the two provinces still have many areas to promote cooperation, bringing higher results. Mr. Hung gave an example that Quang Tri people really like Thai goods, but to buy genuine Thai goods in Quang Tri, there are not many options.
Similarly, Mukdahan Governor Vorayan Bunarat said the two provinces have enjoyed a good cooperative relationship over the past 19 years. He said the most important thing is that Mukdahan has a large and strong Thai-Vietnamese community of 6,000 people. This signing strengthens and promotes the Thai-Vietnamese relationship, while enhancing understanding, connection and effective cooperation between the two provinces.
Regarding the prospects for cooperation between the two provinces, Mr. Yatiwatra Mantrivat - Director of Mukdahan Customs Department - said that the growth of goods from Vietnam to Mukdahan in 2024 increased by nearly 11% over the same period. Mukdahan Customs committed to supporting, facilitating trade, simplifying transportation procedures, using modern technology, etc.
Promote eating three meals a day
Mr. Ho Van Hoan - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Tri - proposed to increase exchanges and cooperation, especially in the field of traditional arts, and encourage participation in sports competitions between the two provinces, especially traditional and strong sports.
Mr. Suksa Suwannatada – Director of the Mukdahan Department of Tourism and Sports – said: “The idea of eating rice in three countries in one day will make tourism in two countries more attractive. I am impressed with the seafood, its freshness, especially the crispy and sweet squid from Quang Tri”.
The road distance between the two provinces is not far but traffic procedures are not convenient due to the difference in the right-hand drive of Vietnam and Thailand. Quang Tri is making efforts to remove difficulties in procedures to promote tourist car groups from Thailand to Quang Tri to swim in the sea and eat seafood.
Mr. Hoang Nam - Vice Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee - said that the one-day tour to eat 3 countries has been on the tourism map for a long time but has calmed down.
“At this time, we need to strongly promote this tour by identifying some potential travel agencies, creating conditions for customers to travel by right-hand drive vehicles. We are trying to clear this up, the geographical distance is very close, the modern trend is to travel by self-driving. This tour is suitable for people with little time, can choose to experience in 2 days,” said Mr. Nam.
Governor Mukdahan pledged to create favorable conditions for people and goods to trade between the two sides, believing that the two provinces will be able to resolve the obstacles.
At the end of the working session, Quang Tri and Mukdahan provinces signed a cooperation memorandum for the 2025-2030 period with many contents on economy, investment, trade and tourism; training, labor and human resource development; communication and promotion...
