Quang Ninh is one of the leading provinces in terms of speed of development and comprehensive, modern socio-economic infrastructure system. It is also the most important trading gateway between Vietnam, China and ASEAN. Due to its prime location, this is a destination that attracts many FDI investors to build factories in major industrial parks in Quang Ninh.
Economic Development Potential of Quang Ninh
Quang Ninh is located within the economic triangle of Hanoi – Hai Phong – Quang Ninh, which is one of the two largest economic triangles in Vietnam.
– Prime Location: Quảng Ninh shares borders with Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Bac Giang, Lang Son, and is only a 3-hour drive from Hanoi,.. This enhances Quang Ninh’s connectivity and attracts commercial activities, transportation of goods and services, as well as economic cooperation with neighboring provinces. The location also easily attracts the labor from northern provinces, providing a rich workforce to serve FDI investors when building factories in major industrial parks in Quang Ninh province. Additionally, Quang Ninh is the only province that shares land, sea, and air borders with China, offering favorable conditions for international trade and import-export goods.
– Developed Infrastructure: Quang Ninh is currently leading in terms of development and completion of a synchronized and modern economic-social infrastructure system: Including strategic transportation infrastructure, information technology and telecommunications infrastructure, airports, seaports and port services, logistics infrastructure, and infrastructure in industrial parks and economic zones. According to reports from the Quang Ninh Economic Zone Management Board, currently 100% industrial parks in the province have invested in good infrastructure, including centralized wastewater treatment systems that meet environmental standards. Quang Ninh is among the top provinces in the country in terms of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI).
The outstanding advantages in infrastructure are the reasons why many investors choose Quang Ninh as the location to build factories.
– Transportation Infrastructure: With a focus on prioritizing transportation infrastructure, Quang Ninh has fully invested in Ha Long – Hai Phong expressways, Ha Long – Van Don Expressways, Van Don International Airport, Hon Gai International Passenger Port and a series of transportation infrastructure projects connecting seaports, industrial parks, and economic zones across the province. Quang Ninh has also inaugurated the Van Don – Mong Cai expressway with nearly 13,000 billion VND (as of September 2022), which is the longest highway in Vietnam and connects to 3 international border gates of Lao Cai, Huu Nghi and Mong Cai. Additionally, it serves as a transshipment hub within the East Asia – Southeast Asia region, ASEAN – China, the “two corridors, one economic belt” cooperation between Vietnam and China, and the expanded regional cooperation in the Gulf of Tonkin, creating a strong driving force to promote the economy of the Northern Key Economic region and the Red River Delta region
In addition, Quang Ninh has 4 seaports: Cai Lan, Cua Ong, Van Gia, Mui Chua, Yen Hung wharf area… These seaports serve as crucial transportation infrastructure linking Quang Ninh with both domestic and international regions, significantly boosting trade activities and optimizing the logistics sector.
