The conference received attention and participation from 14 localities, businesses, and business associations in the northern mountainous region, as well as some localities with friendly cooperative relations with Thai localities. This event also created an opportunity for Vietnamese and Thai localities and businesses to meet, exchange ideas, and seek investment and business cooperation opportunities in potential fields of the two countries.
