The northern province of Ninh Binh is making every effort to
attract greater internal and external investment by implementing
appropriate measures.
Apart from holding
dialogues between investors and the provincial leaders in order to
timely provide assistance and solve difficulties faced by enterprises in
implementing their projects in the locality, Ninh Binh is actively
diversifying communication forms to promote its business and investment
environment.
It has linked its investment
promotion website with those of the Ministry of Planning and
Investment’s Foreign Investment Department and the Investment Promotion
Centre of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to exchange
information on potential investors.
The
province has also promoted the geological beauty and the historical and
cultural values of its relic sites. Especially, the Trang An eco-tourism
complex, which is pending for the UN Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) recognition as a world natural heritage,
has been advertised on CNN channels in Europe, the Middle East and
Africa in order to lure more foreign holidaymakers.
Additionally, the provincial authorities have directed relevant
departments and sectors to build an investment database and provide
online information on investment and construction management.
A hotline has also been launched to answer questions relating to the
State’s laws, regulations and instructions on investment management and
master plans on the province’s socio-economic development.
Since the province hosted an investment promotion conference in late
November 2012, it has licensed 24 projects and signed eight memoranda
of understanding on investment cooperation.
At
present, several companies from Taiwan, the Republic of Korea and
Japan are seeking investment opportunities in the province’s
industrial parks.-VNA
