Bac Ninh implements economic diplomacy plan for 2024-2026 period

Introducing and advertising Bac Ninh to promote economic, trade and investment cooperation.

The plan aims to implement effectively Directive No. 15-CT/TW of the Secretariat on the basis of closely following the goals, tasks and solutions that have been proposed in the Resolution of the 20^th Provincial Party Congress, term 2020-2025. At the same time, it closely and efficiently links economic diplomacy with political diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, and people-to-people diplomacy, contributing to the promotion of socio-economic development and assurance of security and defense in the province.

To achieve the above goal, the departments, branches, sectors, People's Committees at district level, business associations, and state-owned enterprises in the province need to research, thoroughly grasp and widely propagate Directive No. 15-CT/TW of the Secretariat and Resolution No. 21/NQ-CP of the Government on promoting economic diplomacy for national development. These agencies also raise awareness, responsibility and participation of officials and party members, especially leaders, in the requirements, goals, orientations and tasks of economic diplomacy in the new situation as well as enhance thematic activities on foreign affairs, economic diplomacy, and international integration.

The competent authorities closely cooperate with relevant Central Ministries and departments to take advantage of cooperation frameworks and mechanisms, propose measures to strengthen economics and trade with international organizations and foreign localities, potential foreign investors on the basis of compliance with laws and international commitments in which Vietnam has participated and signed. They strengthen cooperative relationships with foreign diplomatic missions, international organizations, foreign business associations in Vietnam, and Vietnamese representative agencies abroad to introduce and advertise Bac Ninh province with the aims of promoting economic, trade and investment cooperation.

The functional authorities take full advantage of new generation free trade agreements (FTAs) and other trade agreements that Vietnam has signed such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and so on. As a result, the province will participate in national and global supply chains, enhancing its position in the global value chain as well as strengthening the construction of economic diplomacy for development, focusing on people and enterprises.
