According to Vietnamese investment promotion representatives abroad, listening to and understanding the investment promotion demand of the locality will be the basis for Vietnamese representative agencies to support the locality in promoting and inviting investment, as well as providing information to investors in the host country, thereby connecting foreign investors with Dong Nai.

Dong Nai will reallocate new development space, determining the goal of breakthrough in the industrial sector. Therefore, the province earnestly hopes that the working delegation will continue to inform and promote Dong Nai's advantages and investment environment to countries around the world.
