Khang highly evaluated the FDI enterprises’ contributions to the province’s socio-economic development in the recent past, especially in restructuring the provincial economy and raising its industrial production value.

The FDI firms have also contributed greatly to the supporting, processing and manufacturing industries in Ha Nam, generating a large number of jobs for local workers, making remarkable contributions to the provincial budget and actively joining social activities, he said.

The official expressed his hope that the enterprises would always unite together, assist each other, fairly compete and strictly carry out their commitments to the province, particularly those related to environmental protection, progress and effectiveness of investment.

At the meeting, representatives of the participating businesses suggested the provincial authorities to assist them in building dormitories for workers, training personnel and ensuring traffic safety, power and clean water supply.
