Secretary of Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Hong Linh highly appreciated the contributions of Korean businesses investing in Vietnam, and in Dong Nai in particular.
The RoK is the leading investor in Dong Nai in terms of number of projects and investment capital with nearly USD7.3 billion.
Recently, the authorities of a number of localities in Dong Nai and Gyeongnam have had a cooperative relationship, through which there have been many activities on cultural exchange and educational cooperation.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Park Wan Soo, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, expressed his hope that the two sides will strengthen cooperation in many fields, especially in development of human resources and next-generation talents. “Cooperation is in the spirit of win-win,” he said.

Dong Nai is located in the southern key economic region of Vietnam with a population of more than 3.2 million people.

Currently, Dong Nai is investing in a series of key national infrastructure projects, including the Long Thanh International Airport with a capital of up to USD16.6 billion.
