The Secretary of the Ninh Binh Provincial Party Committee gave general information about the province's geographical location, historical and cultural values, potential, and strengths to the working group.

He emphasized that Trang An Landscape Complex is a model for preserving and promoting heritage values, and is one of the world's most attractive heritage sites.

This heritage is continuously voted by major world magazines and press agencies as one of the most interesting and attractive destinations in the world.

In economic development, Ninh Binh identifies the pillars of tourism development as cultural industry and heritage value. The locality is known as one of the three leading automotive industry centers in Vietnam.

Ninh Binh aims to become a centrally-run city with a millennium-old urban heritage by 2035. To achieve this goal, the province needs the cooperation of traditional partners, including Hungary, he said.

Ninh Binh hopes to collaborate on tourism, training and developing high-quality human resources, sharing experience in tourism development and cultural preservation, and building laws related to heritage conservation, especially legislation tailored to urban areas with heritage, he added.

The year 2025 will mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The two countries' parliaments exchanged high-level delegations, discussing many important issues on lawmaking, diplomacy, economic development, and environmental protection.

She spoke highly of Ninh Binh's proposals to Hungary in areas such as investment attraction and legislation, affirming that her country always supports and promotes these areas.

Márta Mátrai, first deputy of the Speaker of Hungary's National Assembly emphasized that Hungary was one of the first countries to recognize Vietnam's independence and establish diplomatic relations.

Regarding education and training cooperation, Vietnam regularly sends students to study in Hungary, with approximately 200 students per year, she said.

Apart from granting scholarships, Hungary continues to monitor and accompany students who have received scholarships to study in Hungary, she said, adding that this will be an opportunity for people from Ninh Binh to join this training support.
