The company is committed to investing in Binh Duong towards green transformation, sustainable development, training high-quality human resources, and joining hands with the province in enhancing social responsibility to protect the environment and workers.
Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Vo Van Minh said that the company is now the largest foreign-invested firm in the province.
Minh said that the province commits to accompanying investors to remove difficulties if any. In addition, the province always pays attention to simplifying administrative procedures, improving the local investment environment, supporting the company to deploy projects quickly and smoothly, and promoting more efficient production in the coming time.
According to the province’s Department of Planning and Investment, as of June 22, licenced foreign investment in Binh Duong reached 943 million USD, equal to 37% of the figure of the same period.
