Can Tho needs to improve transport infrastructure to lure more investments: RoK official
Can Tho (VNA) - The Mekong Delta city of Can Tho will improve transport infrastructure and issue special policies to attract businesses, especially those from the Republic of Korea (RoK), said Min Moon-ki, Commercial Attaché of the Republic of Korea (RoK) Embassy in Vietnam.
Min, who led a delegation from the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT), had a working session with the provincial leaders on October 10, during which the two sides discussed
cooperation opportunities in such fields as new energy, hi-tech agriculture and
export of rice and aquatic products.
He said as many Korean
firms want to invest in new agriculture technology, both sides could cooperate
in using modern machinery to produce quality rice.
He wished more Vietnamese
aquatic products and farm produce, especially rice, would be exported to the
RoK in the near future.
According to him, Korean
enterprises also expect to develop solar and wind power plants used in
industrial production. He hoped that the O Mon thermal power plant would be put
into operation soon to draw investment from foreign firms, including those from
the RoK.
For his part, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee
Nguyen Ngoc He expressed his hope that Min will serve as a bridge linking Korean investors with Can Tho.
In his opinion, RoK firms wishing to
invest in hi-tech agriculture should choose the south as their destination.
At the event, the two sides looked into the
operation and management of the Vietnam-RoK Agricultural Machinery Centre and
the status of the Korea-Vietnam Incubator Park (KVIP) based in Tra Noc 2 Industrial Park
in the city./.
