Khanh Hoa is one of many localities to host APEC 2017 events. As a local concern, how do you assess the investment and business environment of the province?
Khanh Hoa is one of many localities to host APEC 2017 events and the success of these events will bring tremendous and positive benefits to the innovation and integration of the country in general and Khanh Hoa province in particular.
APEC 2017 has also brought in tremendous opportunities for local businesses. In addition to signing economic and investment cooperation agreements, we also had the opportunity to learn from the world's leading corporations. APEC helped promote the image of Khanh Hoa not only as a famous national tourism centre but also an ideal investment destination where there are a lot of strongly developed and potential industrial parks like Suoi Dau (Cam Lam district), Ninh Thuy (Ninh Hoa district), Van Thang (Van Ninh district) and Nam Cam Ranh. Besides, tenants in industrial zones also saw a lot of opportunities in an open, inspirational business space.
I hope that, after this conference series, the image of Khanh Hoa people in general and its economy in particular will be boosted in the eyes of international friends who will have more confidence in the local investment and business climate.
