Tran Van Nam, vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, made this announcement at a working session with a Japanese business delegation that visited the province to explore investment opportunities there last Tuesday.

Nam said the province was seeking investments in support industries, as well as high-technology and environment-friendly projects. He also spoke highly of the effective business performances of Japanese enterprises in the province.

Japan is now the biggest foreign investor here, with 225 projects worth nearly US$4.7 billion.
