Promising future of Vietnam’s two westernmost provinces
Long stymied by their remoteness and accompanying access issues, Dien Bien and Lai Chau are now set to emerge as torch-bearers for the development of Vietnam’s northwest region.
Lai Chau approves new housing development plan
Northern province targets additional 1.8 million sq m of housing by 2025.
ODA road project in north to go ahead
After many delays, an ODA project connecting traffic in the three provinces of Lai Chau, Lao Cai, and Yen Bai with the Noi Bai - Lao Cai Highway will begin construction in October. The project is funded by the Asian Development Bank and the Australian Government, with total capital of VND5.34 trillion ($233.44 million).
