Promoting Quang Nam - Finland cooperation in the forestry industry
(QNO) - Chairman of the Quang Nam provincial People’s Committee Le Tri Thanh hosted a reception for a Finnish delegation led by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Finland to Viet Nam Keijo Norvanto on October 3rd.
Finnish Ambassador Keijo Norvanto said that the year 2023 marks an important hallmark in the Viet Nam - Finland relations with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations (1973 - 2023).
So, the working visit to Quang Nam aimed to strengthen Quang Nam - Finland cooperation in many fields, mainly in forestry industry and trade.
The forestry sector is also one of the vital industry of Finnish economy, focusing on hi-tech in forestry product processing.
For his part, Chairman Thanh briefly informed his guests of the local forestry industry. In recent years, Quang Nam has strengthened its conservation of forests and biodiversity. However, the capacity to process and produce forestry products is low.
Therefore, Chairman Thanh hoped Finnish Ambassador Keijo Norvanto would act as a bridge to call on more businesses from his country to learn about investment opportunities in Quang Nam in the fields of sustainable forest exploitation and conservation, as well as support Quang Nam in building forest carbon projects.
