Prof. Dr. Le Van Loi, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, stated during the seminar’s introduction: "The Northern Midlands and Mountains are a region with diverse natural, socioeconomic, and cultural conditions, with each locality having different potentials and advantages that can both complement and promote each other’s development. As a result, if Phu Tho becomes a regional integration hub, positive and consistent changes will occur, boosting the socioeconomic growth of Phu Tho in particular and each community in the area in general. In particular, in the contemporary setting, regional links must be linked to the domestic and international contexts, addressing new trends such as knowledge economy, green economy, circular economy, and participating in the global value chain based on accomplishments of the fourth industrial revolution.

                                                                              Delegates discussed at the meeting.

The Conference’s opinions and discussions focused on three main issues: Promoting regional linkages in developing high-tech agriculture along a sustainable linked value chain in Phu Tho province - current situation and problems to be resolved Attracting investment for the operation and utilization of regional logistics centers in Tam Nong district, Phu Tho town - present condition and challenges mentioned; Solutions for tying Phu Tho’s economic growth to national defense and security in the Northern Midlands and Mountains.

The scientific conference intends to contribute to clarifying, deepening, and thoroughly understanding the theoretical and practical challenges of implementing regional integration, therefore motivating Phu Tho to grow fast and sustainably. The essays submitted to the Conference illustrated the relationship between theory and practice in the process of accomplishing the tasks of the XIII Politburo’s Resolution No. 11-NQ/TW. Furthermore, ideas and recommendations from scientists, leaders, and managers based on an assessment of the existing state of executing the Resolution’s responsibilities will be a significant source of information for Phu Tho province in particular, and provinces throughout the Region in general.
