A business delegation from Japan’s Kobe city has explored
investment opportunities in southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province in seaport
development, logistics and supporting industry.
During the delegation’s working session with the provincial authorities
on March 18, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Ho Van
Nien informed the delegates of Ba Ria-Vung Tau’s potential and strengths
in tourism, fishing, and the oil and gas industry.
The province is focusing on developing its port industry, logistics
and supporting industry over the next 30-50 years, he said, adding that
it is completing a one-door policy, teaching Japanese to workers and
building infrastructure to meet Japanese investors’ requirements.
Ba Ria-Vung Tau has so far cooperated with Japan’s Kawasaki
province in building the Kawasaki industrial zone, Nien noted.
The Japanese delegates showed their keen interest in infrastructure
and human resources in Tan Thanh and Chau Duc districts that are calling
for Japan ’s investment.
Following a
fact-finding tour to Cai Mep-Thi Vai sea port on the same day, they said
they hoped to have more specific information to facilitate their
investment in the province.-VNA
