The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) recently held a seminar on production and export of foreign direct investment (FDI) businesses to resolve their difficulties and help them boost their production and exports.

Multi-billion-US$ FDI projects have been registered in Vietnam since the beginning of the year, and the number of these projects continues to increase.

In the first four months of 2013, the northern central coastal and central coastal provinces have led in foreign direct investment (FID) attraction.

Vietnam has attracted more than US$8.2 billion worth of foreign direct investment (FDI) capital in the first four months of this year, up 17 percent on the same period last year.

It’s still very difficult to develop the infrastructure system for the aviation industry, because Vietnam still cannot attract non-state investment sources.

Ineffective investment promotion activities are among the major reasons for weaknesses in attracting and using foreign direct investment (FDI), according to a conference held recently in Hanoi to review 25 years of FDI in Vietnam.

PM Nguyen Tan Dung has tasked the Ministry of Planning and Investment to perfect preferential mechanisms and policies to boost investments and ensure national defense and security in the Central Highlands region.

The second conference on investment promotion in the Central Highland region will be held on April 12, 2013, according to a media briefing in Pleiku city on Monday.

Vietnam’s coffee capital, the Central Highlands, is looking forward to partnering with other developed centres and localities around the country in long lasting, specific cooperation projects to fully tap its potentials.

Afternoon of March 22nd, 2013, after two days taking place, the Conference on Investment Promotion for the Central Coastal Region of Vietnam (including 9 provinces/cites: Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan) was successfully ended.
