(VOV) - UK businesses and trade organizations gathered at a seminar in London on Friday seeking opportunities to invest in Vietnam, in particular Nghe An province. Vice Chairman of the Nghe An provincial People’s Committee, Le Xuan Dai, introduced the province’s potential, strength and favorable geographic position. He said the locality has huge potential for developing the processing industry, forestry and maritime. However, it has not yet had many UK-invested projects. The provincial leader expressed his hope that through the seminar, UK businesses will gain a better understanding about the province and promote investment for their own interests and for provincial socio-economic development.

The seminar reserved certain amount of time to address UK businesses’ questions regarding Nghe An provinces’ preferential policies to attract investors, and its administrative procedures. Dai reiterated Nghe An province’s commitment to strictly follow the issued policies while preparing other necessary conditions to attract investment including a clean land fund, proper infrastructure facility for the local industrial zones, and human resources.
