Japanese investors eye the Mekong River Delta market

The Steering Committee for South-western region chaired a meeting with local leaders of the Mekong River Delta region in Can Tho city on April 15, discussing the agenda for a meeting with Japanese businessmen early next week.

Addressing the event, standing Steering Committee Deputy Head Nguyen Phong Quang said that from April 21-23, representatives from 40 leading Japanese businesses will tour the Mekong River Delta region, seeking investment opportunities in the field of agro-forestry and fisheries.
 

Quang suggested each locality in the region should select one or two typical projects to introduce to Japanese businesses.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Steering Committee, Vietnam-Japan relations have been elevated to a strategic partnership which offered more good conditions for Japanese businesses to seek more investment opportunities in Vietnam, including the Mekong River Delta.

As scheduled, Japanese businesses will participate in a seminar in Can Tho city which will introduce the potential for agricultural investment between Japan and Mekong Delta localities and conduct a survey at some businesses in the provinces of Hau Giang, Dong Thap and Vinh Long.
