Over the past 20 years, Vietnam has developed nearly 290 industrial parks and 15 coastal industrial zones in 59 provinces and cities. They contribute 80 billion USD, equivalent to 35% of the total export and import revenue, to the economy. Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment, Nguyen Van Trung, says: “We have to attract projects which use advanced technology and consume less natural resources and energy.  State agencies have to better manage the investment environment and offer incentives for investors.”
