Present at the conference were Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and more than 800 delegates from among the leaders of ministries and departments, along with representatives of embassies, Lao provinces, commercial banks, associations, international organizations and businesses.

Participating domestic and foreign organizations and businesses, through the conference, discussed investment and trade opportunities with local authorities. 

The event is expected to serve as a platform for the handing over of investment registration certificates and cooperation deals to 66 projects with a combined registered capital of US$7.34 billion.

Earlier, the provincial People’s Committee held a series of sideline activities, including investment promotion conferences in the Philippines and Singapore and a meeting with potential investors in Hanoi.

According to Tran Tien Dung, vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, many investors see Quang Binh as a potential destination for their investment projects and many of which have already been underway in the locality.

A great deal of local effort has been taken to introduce incentive policies so as to draw greater numbers of investors, he noted.
