For her part, Ms. Rebecca Wood thanked the warm welcome of the provincial leaders and departments of the province. She was impressed by the natural beauty of Binh Dinh province and said that she would return here and travel with her family.

In Binh Dinh, the cooperation between New Zealand and Binh Dinh province is highlighted by the Binh Dinh Safe Vegetable Project, which has created sustainable rural livelihoods; connected agricultural products to markets; improved food safety for consumers; brought health and environmental benefits; and created a premise for Binh Dinh province to continue expanding the production of safe vegetables in particular and clean agricultural products in general. In addition, the cooperation support activities from the New Zealand - Viet Nam Health Trust, especially in the fields of Neonatal, Hematology and Orthopedics, have contributed to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment; helping local medical staff improve their professional capacity through direct and indirect training courses...
She pledged to promote more practical cooperation projects and programs for Binh Dinh province during her term.
