VSIP Group – now boasting 13 industrial, urban and service zones spanning over 10,362 ha across Vietnam and offering infrastructure to 882 clients from 30 countries and territories – also introduced the group to its chapter in the city. The first phase of the VSIP Can Tho will soon be launched in Vinh Thanh district, covering 293.7ha of land.

Pledging the authorities’ support and facilitation of investment activities in Can Tho, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Duong Tan Hien informed participants that the city lies in a strategic location and possesses good infrastructure, skillful human resources, agro-fishery potential, and offers many incentives for investors.

Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Vu Tung emphasised that despite facing many challenges on the international level, the friendly and reliable cooperation between Vietnam and the RoK is substantively and vibrantly developing on the basis of their comprehensive strategic partnership.

The RoK, with nearly 10,000 projects worth about 82 billion, is the largest FDI partner of Vietnam; and the two countries are aiming to increase their bilateral trade to 100 billion USD in the coming time, and expand their fields of cooperation to green economy, digital economy, and supply chain.

The embassy always accompanies and assists Korean firms to tackle hurdles in investing in Vietnam in general and Can Tho in particular, he affirmed./.
