Summary: Once a province less developed than other localities across the country, but after more than 20 years of development, Binh Phuoc province has had a “makeover” in all aspects. A group of experts from Fulbright University Vietnam assessed that Binh Phuoc now has more obvious opportunities than ever before. If it knows how to make good use of it, Binh Phuoc can completely transform from the position of “development reserve” into a “development engine” of the Southeast region in particular as well as the whole country in general.
