At a May 15 reception for Thailand Ambassador to Vietnam Panyarak Poolthup, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, Dinh Quoc Thai, added that his province has established 31 large-scale industrial parks in favourable positions for investors.
In addition to the upgrade of infrastructure and roads, the province is boosting its investment in developing seaports and Long Thanh International Airport, he added.
Dong Nai, one of Vietnam’s key industrial zones, has seen an average GDP growth rate of more than 13 percent in recent years. It now has 1,365 FDI projects with a total registered capital of 23.6 billion USD, including 34 projects invested by Thailand totally valued at 500 million USD.
Thailand-invested projects in Dong Nai are operating effectively, contributing greatly to local socio-economic development. Several Thai investors are completing procedures to implement their new projects in the province.
For his part, Ambassador Poolthup said the Vietnam-Thailand strategic cooperation has been further enhanced following a visit to his country made by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong last June.
Both countries will be able to forward the multi-faceted cooperation, especially in economy, investment, health, education and training, when the 40 th anniversary of Vietnam-Thailand diplomatic ties is marked in 2016, he added.-VNA
