The Prime Minister has approved a master plan on developing a total of 34 industrial parks (IPs) in Dong Nai, of which 27 have been put into operation.
Dong Nai has so far licensed 1,402 investment projects totalling nearly US$24 billion from 40 countries and territories, with 32 US-invested projects still valid capitalised at US$186 million.
Bo Ngoc Thu, director of the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, said Dong Nai calls for foreign investment in high-tech industries, support industries, cultivation and livestock breeding, food processing, and transport infrastructure construction.
Foreign businesses will enjoy more preferences if they invest in prioritised areas, Thu said.
AmCham Vietnam Chairman Mark Gillin revealed AmCham Hong Kong plans to pour US$1 billion into Vietnam’s garment accessories manufacturing, and it is eyeing Dong Nai as a potential destination.
Several US businesses said they want to cooperate with Dong Nai in developing high-quality human resources for high-tech industries, waste water treatment, and infrastructure construction.
Dinh Quoc Thai, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, welcomed US proposals, saying Dong Nai attaches great importance to qualified human resource training.
The province has developed short- and long-term training programmes for its employees, especially in high-tech industries.
“We want to have long-term cooperation in the field with US businesses,” Thai told his guests.
Gillin and Thai agreed to organise a one-day forum for US and Dong Nai businesses to share information on import-export services to boost bilateral trade.
