Addressing the opening ceremony, Chairman Park Young-man of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) said the conference is a good chance for RoK investors to study investment opportunities in the two provinces and in Vietnam as a whole.
Vietnamese Ambassador to RoK Tran Trong Toan said the investment and trade promotion conference took place at a good time, when Vietnam-RoK co-operation ties are growing broader and deeper, especially after RoK President Park Geun-hye’s Vietnam visit in early September.
The ambassador highlighted the peaceful environment and socio-political stability in Vietnam, as well as the country’s active international integration.
He said the two provinces – Ha Nam in the Red River Delta and Ha Tinh in the central region – both have potential for investors, as they have large workforces and solid infrastructure, from power and water supply to transport.
During the workshop, officials from the provinces pledged to continue improving administrative procedures, infrastructure and the quality of human resources in order to create a fair, stable, transparent and convenient business environment for RoK investors.
Several RoK firms operating effectively in Ha Tinh and Ha Nam shared their reasons for investing and operating in these provinces.
