At a meeting held on May 29 to review preparations for the conference, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Truong Quang Hoai Nam said that the city is scheduled to call for investment in 54 projects worth over 100 trillion VND (4.4 billion USD).
Among those, the three biggest projects are to develop infrastructure systems for industrial parks in O Mon and Thot Not districts, run by the management board of industrial parks and export processing zones of Can Tho city, with total estimated capital of about 18.2 trillion VND (about 801.7 million USD).
Can Tho also hopes to lure investment for a project to build a level-two logistics centre of the Mekong Delta economic sub-region. The project is estimated to cost 150 million USD and covers 242 hectares in Cai Rang district. It is expected to reduce logistics costs for not only Can Tho but the whole region.
Themed “Sharing Potential, Developing Together,” the Can Tho investment promotion conference 2018 will introduce the city’s strengths, potential and investment opportunities as well as investment plans and projects, and Can Tho’s commitments to investors.
