Practical solutions

In his opening remarks at the workshop, Associate Professor, Dr. Chu Van Tuan, Director of the Institute for Religious Studies (Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences), stated that the importance of sustainable development in land border regions is crucial in the context of globalization and emerging security, social, and economic challenges.

Border regions are not only centers of economic trade but also points of cultural and social exchange between countries, requiring sustainable and harmonious development policies.

The proposal suggests reducing the natural population growth rate, shifting jobs from informal to formal, improving the quality of the workforce, and paying particular attention to vocational training.
