The prefecture’s authorities have conducted a survey showing that Japanese businesses are interested in investing in Vietnam, especially Binh Duong province, as Vietnam has reported rapid and sustainable economic growth, he added.
Danh told the guests that Binh Duong is home to 29 large-scale industrial parks with a total area of nearly 12,700 hectares.
As of November 30, it had attracted approximately 40 billion USD with 4,082 projects from 65 nations and territories, of which Japan ranked second with a total of nearly 6 billion USD.
Binh Duong is planning to attract investment in projects with less labour and land use by utilising advanced technology and lowering environmental impacts, he said./.
