Ben Tre invites investment in several sectors

The Ben Tre People’s Committee Wednesday called on businesses to invest in the Mekong Delta province, saying it offered great potential in multiple sectors.

Provincial administration officials said the projects with potential included riverside residential and urban complexes, coastal ecotourism resorts, human resource development, education and healthcare.

At a seminar in Ben Tre Town attended by representatives of nearly 200 businesses, Nguyen Thai Xay, chairman of the committee, said the province’s private investment inflow in the first half of the year reached nearly VND3.6 trillion (US$200 million), a year-on-year growth of 17.9 percent.
