consultation board to provide all-around support for Kansai businesses
that want to operate in the locality.
The two sides
also discussed environment and human resource cooperation, reaching
agreement on the exchange of information and technology to address
environmental challenges.
They will build a system to

Japanese businesses and training centres in Dong Nai.
KBETI Head Toshihiro Kobayashi said more than half of Kansai business projects investing abroad target Asian countries.
Cooperation with Dong Nai province has created a new investment direction for Kansai businesses, he said.

locality has attracted investors from 35 countries and territories with
total registered capital exceeding 23 billion USD.

in Dong Nai shared their experiences with eight Japanese businesses that
want to set up in the province. They discussed the locality’s
investment policy, incentives, political procedures and its labour
market.-VNA
