At the meeting, representatives of the enterprises mentioned their difficulties and made recommendations relating to issues, including land use in the IPs, environmental protection, the province’s investment attraction policy, high quality human resources, social housing projects, infrastructure projects, electricity supply and security in the IPs.
Ryoichi Nakagawa, advisor to Japan Desk Ha Nam, said that Japanese enterprises investing in Ha Nam province highly appreciate the province’s investment environment.
