Hue has many outstanding fields to join UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN). This not only promotes local cultural identity to the world but also provides an opportunity to attract tourists and investors to Hue. However, choosing which field to highlight the uniqueness of Hue when participating in UCCN is something that needs careful consideration.

It is undeniable that investment promotion activities are making great strides in recent times, but investment promotion activities also need to be adjusted to be more consistent with planning and development orientations of the province.

Investment promotion plays an extremely important role, contributing to attracting investment capital; forming industrial and export processing zones to serve the manufacturing of exports. With a favorable geographical location, open investment attraction policies, gradually refined mechanisms and policies for socio-economic development, etc., Thua Thien Hue has become an attractive destination for domestic and foreign investors.

With the help and companionship from members of the province's startup ecosystem and investors inside and outside the province, many startups or startup ideas and projects, even though they started small, have overcome difficulties in their entrepreneurial journey and are gradually asserting their position in the market.

On the morning of March 5th, the Provincial Party Committee's Standing Vice Chairman, Nguyen Thanh Binh, had a meeting with Mr. Yakabe Yoshinori, Consul General of Japan in Da Nang.

Economic and industrial zones in the province are key areas for attracting investment. However, in order to capture the attention of significant investors, it is necessary to create an open environment with many solutions to support businesses. Regarding this issue, Thua Thien Hue Weekly had an exchange with Mr. Le Van Tue, Head of the Provincial Economic and Industrial Zones Management Board.

Recently, the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province and the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AmCham Vietnam) co-hosted a conference titled: “Green Transitioning for Economic Prosperity: Future for East-West Corridor”. Mr. John Rockhold, President of AmCham Vietnam, foreign diplomatic missions, businesses, experts, and investors from Vietnam, the United States, Laos, and Thailand attended the conference.

Strongly improving the investment and business environment has been helping Thua Thien Hue gain a competitive advantage, and attract domestic as well as foreign investments. This also presents an opportunity and favorable conditions for the province to continue promoting investment activities with a strategic focus.

Despite offering many advantages regarding resources, deep-water ports, labors, etc., Thua Thien Hue cannot reach the top 10 provinces and cities with the largest foreign investment capital (FDI) within the country.

Within the context of deepening economic integration and fierce competition, Thua Thien Hue has always actively grasped the current trends to improve the business investment environment and attract more investors. This is shared by Mr. Phan Quoc Son, Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI).
