Hien stated that the city is calling for investment in effective waste management to reduce emissions and protect the environment in Can Tho. He introduced three investment projects to SUEZ, including the Thot Not 2 water plant, a solid waste treatment plant in Thoi Lai district, and a wastewater treatment plant.
Can Tho is inviting investors for the Thot Not 2 water plant and Thoi Lai solid waste treatment plant through a bidding process to select the investor, he said.
Meanwhile, Can Tho is calling for investment into 10 wastewater treatment projects through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements or direct investment.
Kaviani provided detailed information about areas that SUEZ is interested in at Can Tho, saying that the projects that Can Tho is inviting investment for are well-suited to SUEZ's strengths and investment cooperation demand.
According to Kaviani, SUEZ has extensive experience in investing in water treatment projects, industrial water treatment, and other water-related projects. They have invested in related projects and provided water treatment technology across various Southeast Asian countries, including Vietnam.
Hien said the city will create favourable conditions for SUEZ to explore cooperation opportunities in the areas of its interest in Can Tho, noting that SUEZ's representatives should work directly and exchange information with the city’s departments and agencies to understand more about information and procedures required for investors.
