Promoting development cooperation between Ho Chi Minh City and coastal provinces
Before the investor forum, leaders of Binh Dinh, Khanh Hoa, Quang Ngai provinces... also took the opportunity to introduce local potentials, strengths and investment incentives to attract investors.
Representing Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Duong Ngoc Hai - permanent vice chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee - said that in the process of development, the city always determines to connect with the provinces.
Therefore, the city's policies and strategies always promote trade expansion to support the provinces and also connect the city's development.

Mr. Hai suggested that businesses pay attention to finding out opportunities for cooperation, investment, development, and market expansion in the Central Coast provinces, one of the four key regions in the country's sustainable marine economic development strategy.
According to him, this is both an opportunity for his own business to develop and contribute to promoting sustainable cooperation and development between Ho Chi Minh City and coastal provinces.
According to Mr. Hai, each opportunity opened and each memorandum of understanding signed on investment cooperation contributes significantly to promoting the socio-economic development of each locality in particular and the region in general.
The area still has many advantages to attract investment.
Giving suggestions to strengthen the connection between the parties, Mr. Ngo Nghi Cuong - CEO of C+ Consulting and Investment Joint Stock Company (a company specializing in foreign investment consulting in Vietnam) - suggested that Ho Chi Minh City should share investment opportunities with the region.
Accordingly, the central coastal region with Binh Dinh as its core has the advantage of attracting foreign investment thanks to its abundant industrial land fund and competitive costs, but investment capital here is not much.
Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City is the economic and financial center of the country, attracting many businesses and investment projects every year. Therefore, the combination of Ho Chi Minh City and the coastal region in investment promotion will bring great benefits to both sides.
To implement this, Mr. Cuong advised that provinces should establish an information center for investors right in Ho Chi Minh City. Timely answer and discuss to clarify questions of investors, especially foreign enterprises.
In addition, Mr. Cuong informed that enterprises in industrial parks and export processing zones in Ho Chi Minh City are looking for locations to relocate their factories due to the upcoming expiration of their land leases. This is a class of investors in the Central provinces that should not be ignored.
Typical success of Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh
As a Southern enterprise that invested very early in the Central Coast region, Becamex IDC has so far invested in three industrial parks in Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh and Binh Thuan.
Mr. Nguyen Van Lang - General Director of Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh - said this is a typical successful project in the locality.
Up to now, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh project has become a modern industrial - urban complex, attracting many investors to operate.
The project has changed the face of the locality, improved living standards, created many jobs for local people, attracted 170 million USD in foreign investment and is expected to attract 2 billion USD when fully operational.
Mr. Lang said that this success is partly due to the very active support of Binh Dinh province's leaders in shortening investment time and simplifying procedures.
