Through the exchange, Mr. Huynh Van Son, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Long An province, said that currently, the Republic of Korea has 197 projects in Long An with over USD1 billion, ranking second in the province in terms of total investment capital and number of projects. “Long An is ready to welcome a new wave of investment by Korean businesses,” he said.
Regarding the above proposal of the Company, the People's Committee of Long An province assigned the Department of Planning and Investment to act as the focal point to coordinate relevant units and localities to work specifically with the company on policies, capital sources and financial plan.
Mr. Son expressed his hope that in the coming time, the investment projects and specific cooperation agreements will contribute to promoting economic, trade and investment relations; creating conditions for businesses of the two localities to meet and explore opportunities for cooperation and investment in each other's markets.
“Long An always accompanies businesses, clearly defining the success of businesses as the success of the province, and the difficulty of businesses as the difficulty of the province,” Mr. Son added. “The province also hopes that the company will continue to introduce and connect Korean businesses to Long An to explore investment opportunities, contributing to economic development, and ensuring social security for the locality.”
