In the first seven weeks of this year, the southern province of
Binh Duong attracted an additional 579.3 million USD in foreign direct
investment (FDI) for 36 new and 35 existing projects, according to the
provincial Statistics Office.

During February, many
foreign investors from Japan and the Republic of Korea made
fact-finding tours to the province. They were introduced to the
locality’s socio-economy and its industrial park and urban area
infrastructure system that prime the province for new investment
projects.

Chairman of the provincial People’s
Committee Le Thanh Cung pledged to step up administrative reform to help
businesses access related State agencies. Qualified projects can be
given licences within a day, he added.-VNA
