The workshop is part of a series of activities towards the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Thailand (1976-2026), considered an important milestone in economic cooperation between the two sides, opening up opportunities to attract high-quality investment capital into the Central Highlands region; opening a new step forward in Vietnam - Thailand investment cooperation, contributing to promoting socio-economic growth in the Central Highlands region and improving the quality of life of the people.

This is also an important opportunity to promote the potential and development advantages of Gia Lai province after the merger, while strongly attracting FDI capital flows, especially from the ASEAN region.

Speaking at the workshop, Standing Vice Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang emphasized: "This event is a testament to the increasingly close and effective cooperative relationship between Gia Lai province and the Thai business community. This is not only an investment promotion activity, but also a forum for the two sides to connect, share and work together towards sustainable development."

Thailand is currently one of Gia Lai’s stable investment partners, with 9 FDI projects with a total capital of over 100.5 million USD, focusing on the following areas: Processing industry, seafood, logistics, trade and services. However, compared to the potential, the room for cooperation between the two sides is still very large, especially in the fields of logistics, renewable energy, supporting industries and processed agricultural products.

Gia Lai leaders said that the province is aiming to become the industrial, logistics and high-tech agricultural center of the Central Highlands, in which Becamex Binh Dinh Industrial Park is identified as the strategic core, connecting Le Thanh International Border Gate (Gia Lai) with Quy Nhon port, helping to optimize the supply chain and reduce transportation costs.

"Gia Lai hopes that through the conference, large-scale projects with depth and influence will be formed, creating a value chain linking Thai enterprises and the local investment ecosystem," said Mr. Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang.

Emphasizing the priority of cooperation with Thailand in the fields of cross-border logistics, processing industry, supporting industry and export production, to promote sustainable economic growth, Mr. Hoang hopes that the Thai Consul General will continue to play the role of "investment promotion ambassador" for Gia Lai, and at the same time call on Thai enterprises with strong potential, especially in the fields of high-tech agricultural processing, logistics and supporting industry, to come and learn about and invest in the province.

In addition, Gia Lai leaders proposed establishing a regular dialogue channel between the province and important economic organizations of Thailand, such as FTI, to promptly resolve difficulties in the investment process, ensuring that projects are implemented effectively, stably and sustainably.
