Businesses respond to Tra Vinh call for investment

Local and foreign businesses signed agreements on 31 projects with Tra Vinh at an investment promotion conference held in the Mekong Delta province Saturday.

The provincial administration called for increased investment in infrastructure, energy, trading-services and tourism projects.

In particular, the province needs investment in projects to build infrastructure for the Long Duc and Duyen Hai industrial parks; the Co Chien industrial park area; the Dinh An economic zone; as well as projects to expand a canal and deep-water port, build a bridge and upgrade highways, the conference heard.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung said at the conference that Tra Vinh was a poor province with great potential for development that will be further enhanced with a series of projects that the central government will implement in the near future.

Hung said he hoped enterprises who take part in the province’s projects will have policies to attract local workers.
