Leaders of Lang Son Department of Education and Training assessed that the province has a lot of development potential in the fields of border gate economy, cross-border logistics, specialty agriculture associated with high technology, ecotourism and culture.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Cong Tiep, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National University of Agriculture, assessed that the contents shared at the conference showed that it is necessary to ignite the spirit of entrepreneurship from high school, especially in the context of the country promoting the development of science, technology, innovation and high-quality human resources.
