The Đồng Đăng-Lạng Sơn BGEZ will be converted into a trade, service, tourism and industrial center for the whole northern midland region. In addition, the BGEZ will function as a regional and international trade hub as well as an important transportation center of the Lạng Sơn-Hà Nội-Hải Phòng-Quảng Ninh Economic Corridor and the economic belt in the Gulf of Tokin.
Meanwhile, the Thanh Thủy BGEZ will be transformed into an international trade gateway and transportation hub serving to spur trade and service linkages between Northern Việt Nam with Yunnan, China, and other countries in the region.
