A preferred destination for foreign investors in the south-eastern region, the province has taken a number of concrete measures to attract them, with priority given to projects that involve high technology, are environmental-friendly and less labour-intensive and to manufacture competitive products.
The province would speed up investment to improve its infrastructure system, skill its workforce and modernise technology besides strengthening administrative reform to increase its competitiveness as an investment destination, Cao Tiến Dũng, chairman of the People’s Committee, said.
The province offers favourable conditions and end-to-end support to investors to ensure their success, he said.
It has speeded up administrative reform to streamline processing investment procedures, he said.
Better co-ordination among official agencies also helps investors address issues related to administrative procedures.
