|
12/18/2016 11:25:36 PM In Southeast Asia, Vietnam has attracted the most attention from Japanese investors over the past three years, said Koji Maeno, chairman of the Japanese Business Association of HCMC (JBAH). Speaking at a roundtable meeting between HCMC authorities and Japanese businesses on December 14, he said Japanese firms were still eyeing Vietnam as a key destination for doing business.
He said JBAH would carry out a variety of activities to shore up Japanese investment in the city in the coming years, including this roundtable meeting.
Neighboring provinces including Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Long An and Ba Ria-Vung Tau have also expressed interest in holding such a roundtable between their leaders and Japanese investors to lure more investment from Japan, he noted.
Le Thanh Liem, vice chairman of HCMC, said the city is determined to make its investment environment better and that Japan is always a key partner of the city in multiple aspects.
Japan is now the sixth largest foreign investor in HCMC with 943 valid projects worth US$3.05 billion. |
