He informed them that last year, the province posted an 8.46% growth in gross regional domestic product and contributed 22 trillion VND (925.15 million USD) to the State budget, the highest to date. It also attracted 23.8 trillion VND and 732 million USD worth of domestic and foreign investment, respectively.
Duoc pledged efforts to build the best business climate possible serving firms’ operations, and to ensure their legitimate rights and interests. He hoped the groups, in turn, will further cooperate with Long An and connect international friends to Vietnam and the province in particular.
Consul General Kang Myong-il of the Republic of Korea (RoK) to Ho Chi Minh City wished the province further development and proposed the local authorities pay attention to improving tax policies and administrative reform.
Choi Bun Do, head of the Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, voiced a need for early settlement of land-related administrative procedures for Korean firms at the Long Hau industrial park; and for policies facilitating the development of support industries and supply chains, among others./.
