Create a breakthrough to attract foreign investment capital

This is an opportunity for the government to grasp the aspirations of Japanese enterprises; to honor some typical Japanese enterprises that are investing effectively in Hai Duong; and also an opportunity for Hai Duong and Japanese enterprises to exchange culture. Japanese businessmen also experience activities within the framework of Hai Duong Lychee Festival...

Hai Duong has carefully prepared for this conference, including 2 discussion sessions with the themes: "Hai Duong - FDI investment destination" and "Hai Duong accompanies enterprises". Through this, the province's comparative advantages compared to other localities in terms of infrastructure, taxes, human resources, salary levels, preferential policies of the province, etc. are introduced. These are certainly issues that many Japanese enterprises preparing to invest in Vietnam are very interested in. On this occasion, Hai Duong will welcome a delegation of Japanese reporters to work to introduce the province's potential and strengths in attracting investment; the investment situation of FDI enterprises, including many Japanese enterprises in Hai Duong, etc. Thereby, Japanese investors will see more clearly the advantages of Hai Duong in terms of policies and human resources. They will be more confident when witnessing the effectiveness of Japanese enterprises that have gone before choosing Hai Duong as a stopover; In particular, many Japanese enterprises have increased investment capital and expanded production scale.

Previously, in early April, Comrade Pham Xuan Thang, Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, had a working session with Mr. Yamada Takio, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Vietnam. The Provincial Party Secretary pledged that Hai Duong would create the most favorable conditions for Japanese enterprises to invest in production and business.

In recent years, Japan has been one of the major investors in Hai Duong. In Hai Duong, there are currently 60 FDI projects from Japan with a total investment capital of over 1.4 billion USD, accounting for 13% of the number of projects and 14% of the total FDI capital in the province. Japanese enterprises and businessmen have been producing and doing business effectively, making great contributions to the provincial budget, complying with Vietnamese laws, and attracting many workers. Hai Duong is prioritizing attracting FDI capital flows with quality such as investment from Japan.

To attract investment, the province has been strongly improving the business investment environment. Not only has there been a specialized Resolution on improving the business investment environment (Resolution 08), the province has also expanded the areas of investment attraction. If in previous years, investment promotion only focused on attracting FDI capital in the fields of industry and agriculture, now it is different. In addition to these two fields, the province also promotes investment more broadly in all fields from health, education, to trade, tourism... The province also determined that the Department of Planning and Investment will create a promotion framework, and all other industries and fields will have to participate in investment promotion...

After the investment promotion conference with Japan, Hai Duong will continue to organize an investment promotion conference with Korea and certainly will not stop there. Investment promotion conferences with each strong partner such as Japan, with the determination to strongly improve the investment and business environment... are confident that Hai Duong's investment attraction results will improve even more.
