Provincial Party Committee Secretary Tran Van Nam said the province has made good preparations in terms of investment policy and mechanism, industrial park infrastructure and transportation network in order to attracting more domestic and foreign investors.
According to Nam, after the Trans-Pacific-Partnership (TPP) agreement takes effect, the province will continue to attract FDI capital, shifting priority to modern technical investment and environmentally friendly projects.
