The projects focus on key fields such as infrastructure facilities for high efficiency agriculture; industrial parks and clusters; information technology; logistics and energy; culture, sports and tourism infrastructure; real estate…

 

According to Vo Thanh Thong, Chairman of the  City People’s Committee, the message Can Tho brings to the conference is to introduce potentials and investment opportunities to investors, diplomatic organizations, local and foreign business associations. He hoped that Decree 103/2018/NĐ-CP stipulating some unique mechanisms on investment, finance, budget and administrative decentralization would be an important boost for Can Tho City.

 

Meanwhile, Secretary of Can Tho City Party Committee Tran Quoc Trung highly appreciated solution proposals to enhance investment attraction, saying these proposals would contribute to turning Can Tho into a reliable, attractive destination for investors and businesses to “share potential for mutual development”.

 

Can Tho always considers the success of investors and businesses the municipal government’s success. Can Tho will strictly follow the guidance of the Prime Minister to be a companion of businesses.

 

At the event, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and leaders of ministries, central agencies and localities witnessed the signing of  cooperation deals worth VND85 trillion between Can Tho City People’s Committee and 19 investors.
