Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Ngoc Chau requested that industrial park infrastructure investors accompany the province to quickly clear the land but must ensure the highest benefits according to the law for the people when handing over the land. From the perspective of mutual win-win, the investor's profit must go hand in hand with the improvement of the people's lives.

If the commitment is delayed, it can be revoked and transferred to a more capable investor. By October 15 at the latest, the Gia Loc Industrial Park infrastructure investor must have a commitment with the province on the time to complete site clearance, attract secondary investors, and occupancy rate. There must be a preferential policy for investors who do well and will be given priority in granting investment registration certificates.

Regarding An Phat 1, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that attention should be paid to building synchronous and modern infrastructure, and the landscape of the industrial park must be true to the name Green An Phat, so that An Phat becomes a model industrial park of the province.
