Long An pledges to create advantages for foreign investors

Deputy chairman of the People’s Committee of Long An province Nguyen Van Duoc hopes Japanese enterprises to continue investing in Long An province. 
Attending at the event were Deputy chairman of the People’s Committee of Long An province Nguyen Van Duoc, Mr. Kawaue Junichi, Consul General of Japan in Ho Chi Minh City, Chairman of Japanese Business Association HCMC (JBAH) Kadowaki Keiichi, and relevant departments in the province.

Japanese businesses operating in Tan Duc Industrial Park in Duc Hoa District petitioned the provincial authorities should ask the ITA Water Investment-Exploitation-Production & Supply Corporation to refund the money that ITA Water has wrongfully collected.

Under a sentence announced by the Ho Chi Minh City People's High Court on May 27, 2016, ITA water collected VND14,700 per cubic meter of fresh water instead of the present price of VND11,000.

In addition, the production of enterprises in Phu An Thanh Industrial Zone in Ben Luc District has been halted due to unstable power supply.

Meanwhile firms in Long Hau Industrial Park asked the province to strictly handle illegal small sized businesses and vendors that encroach the industrial zone, making traffic jams.

Manufacturers in Thinh Phat Industrial Park required the local government to build wharfs for water transport networks.

Deputy chairman of the People’s Committee of Long An province Nguyen Van Duoc pledged that the province will ask relevant agencies to solve mentioned above problems to create good conditions for businesses hoping Japanese enterprises to continue investing in Long An province./.
