Introducing local potential and advantages, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Pham Dinh Nghi said that situated in the south of the Red River Delta, Nam Dinh has actively upgraded transport infrastructure to boost its connectivity with airports and seaports. Taking the lead nationwide in the field of education, it also boasts abundant human resources.
The official highlighted that the province is strongly promoting administrative reform by reducing and simplifying administrative procedures to create favourable conditions for businesses.
It is also home to many industrial parks ready to welcome foreign investors, including those from Japan, he went on, adding that it prioritises investment in high-tech, environmentally friendly, and green and circular economy projects.
Noting that Japanese investment in Nam Dinh is still modest - about 230 million USD, Nghi suggested the delegation introduce Nam Dinh to Japanese businesses, help with training local students in the Japanese language, and assist graduates from the Nam Dinh University of Nursing to find jobs in Japan.
Yamamoto Gosei, Chairman of the Japan - Vietnam Parliamentary Friendship Alliance, said that he is very impressed with the province's education and training, which is very important to providing high-quality human resources for enterprises. The two countries also share many cultural and religious similarities, enabling them to access new cooperation opportunities in all fields.
He noted that the province’s economy has expanded by over 10% in recent years, a result attributable to the local administration’s efforts in streamlining administrative procedures to support businesses.
Given this, Yamamoto expressed his belief that many Japanese business delegations will come to Nam Dinh to explore cooperation and investment chances.
During the trip, the delegation also visited the My Thuan Industrial Park in My Loc district and the Nam Dinh University of Nursing.
