Representatives from twenty businesses from Kansai , Japan paid a three-day visit to Ho Chi Minh City in an effort to seek business opportunities in the country’s largest city.
In a meeting with Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Hoang Quan on March 10, Takeo Obayashi, head of the delegation and also Chairman of the Obayashi Corp., said that the Japanese businesses want to work with the city in the field of human resource training and urban development planning.
Quan said HCM City is in great need of good human resources as it is shifting to hi-tech industries, adding that the urban planning and infrastructure in the city are still weak.
As a result, boosting the development of infrastructure for economic growth is a top priority, for which the city is calling for investment, he said.
The municipal authorities are willing to create favourable conditions for Japanese investors, affirmed Quan while speaking highly of Japanese-invested projects in HCM City .
Quan also lauded efforts Obayashi has made in the East-West Corridor project, which includes the building of Thu Thiem tunnel across the Saigon River. The tunnel is reportedly the first of its kind in Vietnam and will be the largest in Southeast Asia./.
