More than 70 Thai enterprises were briefed on potential investment opportunities at a conference held by the central Quang Tri province People’s Committee.

The conference, taking place on March 18 in the capital city of Dong Ha, aimed to provide Thai companies with a comprehensive understanding of the province’s advantages and potential to help encourage relevant and promising business ideas.

Thai investors asked a number of clarifying questions on land-lease contracts, the province’s policy on natural resources and the protection of foreign companies, worker salaries, tariffs and procedures for bank loans.

Responding to concerns from Thai investors, the province’s Deputy Chairman Ha Sy Dong said that Quang Tri will create favourable conditions for Thai enterprises to rapidly and effectively implement investment projects.

Around 1,200 local and foreign enterprises have been registered in the province with a total capital of 2.36 billion USD, yet only three are Thai businesses.-VNA
