Expressing his pleasure to receive the U.S. Ambassador, Mr. Hoang Xuan Anh, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee affirmed that the working visit of the delegation of the U.S. Embassy carried a significant importance, helping stimulate the cooperative relation between Viet Nam and the U.S in general and between Cao Bang province and the U.S. Embassy in particular. It was nearly 30 years since Viet Nam and the U.S. established diplomatic relations on July 12^th 1995; then, on September 10^th, 2023, the two countries upgraded the bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for the purposes of peace, cooperation and sustainable development.

Over the past time, the relationship between Cao Bang and the U.S. Embassy in Viet Nam has been increasingly widened and developed more effectively and substantially. Cao Bang was very pleased to receive the aid of the U.S. Office of Defense Cooperation for Quang Trung Kindergarten Project, Quang Quang Comune (Hoa An District). Up to now, the project has been handed over and put in use, which provides kids with a spacious, clean and beautiful learning environment with modern equipment.

Mr. Hoang Xuan Anh affirmed the potential of the province with many famous scenic spots, historical relics and distinct and rich culture. In 2018, Non nuoc Cao Bang was designated as a UNESCO Global Geopark, which is one of the important factors unlocking the potential of Cao Bang tourism. Diverse terrains, and places of pristine scenic beauty such as Ban Gioc waterfall, Nguom Ngao cave (Trung Khanh District), Thang Hen Lake (Quang Hoa District), Phja Oac - Phja Den National Park (Nguyen Binh), etc. are the potential for Cao Bang to develop Eco-tourism and community-based tourism in combination with cultural and historical tourism (Pac Bo Special National Monument in Ha Quang District).
