Currently, the locality has 26 industrial parks, spanning over 10,500 hectares, and 10 industrial clusters on 707 hectares, with occupation rates at 70 percent and 65 percent, respectively.
Dung pledged that local authorities will offer favourable conditions for investors, including those from the US.
