Delivering closing remarks at the conference, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung said, after more than 3 positive work hours, the conference of "Development Cooperation for Key Economic Region in the North in 2016" received many valuable comments related to a number of cooperation and development contents in the period of 2017-2020 of the northern key economic region and Red River Delta.
At the conference, Hanoi inked a comprehensive cooperation agreement with 14 provinces and cities in the northern region. The pact covers a wide range of fields, including investment promotion, trade, tourism, environment protection, solid waste treatment and water supply.

Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung urged localities involved to promptly translate their commitments into deed. Accordingly, they need to build production and distribution chains of farm produce to enhance food safety across the region, with each participating locality responsible for their own products serving inter-provincial trade transactions.

Hanoi is committed to creating policies to support producers of safe agricultural products in a bid to form connections from fields to markets. The network will help businesses have more control over their production and markets as well as achieve sustainable growth.

Hanoi is also willing to take the lead in removing difficulties and completing policies to assist enterprises in accessing information, building trademarks, boosting the production and trade of domestically made goods, particularly for the upcoming lunar New Year holiday.

Meanwhile, the organisation of tourism exhibitions, seminars and fairs is important for the northern localities to promote their images. Hanoi requested each of its northern partners to take turns holding cultural events at the local Hoan Kiem pedestrian road every month.

On the occasion, the Chairman of the Hai Phong city People’s Committee was voted as chairman of the council of the northern key economic zone for the 2017 – 2018 tenure. Fifteen parties of the cooperation pact are Hanoi, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Vinh Phuc, Ha Nam, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Thai Binh, Hoa Binh, Phu Tho, Thai Nguyen and Bac Giang. 

"I suggest the provinces and cities in the region to organize conference events, seminars, exhibitions, inter-provincial tourism fairs, to promote tourism in heritage values and culture of the provinces and cities associated with the development of tourism products. Tourism development has always led and contribute to the restructuring of the local economy towards thriving industry and services," Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung suggested. Hanoi also suggested the provinces and cities to hold monthly cultural night walk around Hoan Kiem Street to introduce and promote traditional culture, create tourist attraction for local authorities in the region.

"Each province or city should strive to become the nucleus of the region and the country in economic development, the implementation of strategic breakthroughs, innovative growth model, implementing industrialization and modernization goods, a growing contribution to the overall development of the country and help disadvantaged areas, gradually contributing an important role in improving the position of Vietnam in ASEAN and in the international arena," Chairman Chung stressed.
