At a recent meeting with investors, Cao Tuong Huy, Acting Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, affirmed the province's motto is that businesses’ effective investment is the success of the locality.

The province is committed to accompanying investors throughout the project implementation process and solving problems and difficulties at any time, he said.
To attract investors, in the past years, Quang Ninh has prioritized allocating investment resources for infrastructure development, especially transport works.

The province has also paid attention to removing difficulties relating to site clearance, resettlement, land rental, land procedures, electricity demand, and project infrastructure connection to speed up the infrastructure development of industrial parks.

Regarding transport infrastructure, the province is accelerating the completion of roads to the seaports, airport and IPs. It has also proposed new projects such as the upgrade of National Highway 4B to strengthen the connection between Lang Son and Quang Ninh provinces,Van Don - Mong Cai and Quang Ninh - Lang Son - Cao Bang expressways as well as connection within the Northeastern and Northwestern regions.

Komoto Tomoshi, CEO of Castem Vietnam said that the company is the first Japanese investor to invest in Song Khoai Industrial Park in the province’s Quang Yen town with a 19 million USD factory for manufacturing and trading precision mechanical details.

The company is satisfied with the province’s investment environment, and the location of the industrial park as it’s near the airport and seaports. Moreover, Vietnam boasts a cheap and hard-working labour force, he added./.
