Thai Nguyen province is considered the cultural and economic central of Northern midlands and mountainous region. This province has strategic position, natural conditions and resources that favor the development. However, till this day, the province’s economic development is generally not up to its potential, the living of its ethnic minorities is still poor and hard. Moreover, under the pressure from population growth and with out-dated technology, the province’s economic, which is heavily depended on natural resources, will easily be lagging behind. Thai Nguyen needs to have a change in pace and reform to be worthy of its tradition and to make use of its potential.
