Speaking at the opening of the Seminar, Mr. Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang – Member of Gia Lai Party Committee Standing Committee, Deputy Chairman of Gia Lai People's Committee and Director of GEZA emphasized the potential and advantages of Gia Lai. Located in a strategic position in the center of the East-West and North-South axes, Gia Lai is a bridge between Vietnam Central Coast - Central Highlands and Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and the Mekong Region. With a diverse ecosystem, more than 130 kilometers of coastline, 80 kilometers of land border and potential for high-tech agriculture, renewable energy, industry, services and logistics and tourism, Gia Lai as a miniature Vietnam, is a foundation for comprehensive development, towards a modern, dynamic and sustainable province. Mr. Deputy Chairman of Gia Lai People's Committee also shared about the development goals and vision of Gia Lai and the necessary conditions that the province has proactively prepared to welcome investors to the province, including Thai investors. Gia Lai Province has Le Thanh International Border Gate Economic Zone with total area of 41,515 hectares and Nhon Hoi Economic Zone with total area of 14,308 hectares, where Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh Township and Industrial Parks with large area is waiting for all FDI investors, including Thai investors.
Gia Lai is particularly keen to attract investment from Thai enterprises in areas with their strengths such as cross-border logistics, supporting industries, agricultural processing for export, industrial services associated with industrial parks (IPs) and supply chains… In the provincial investment attraction strategy, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh IP is identified as an important core, playing the role of a gateway to receive high-quality FDI capital flows, including Thai enterprises. Especially, Becamex VSIP Binh Dinh Township and Industrial Parks are located on the direct connection corridor between Le Thanh International Border Gate Economic Zone and Quy Nhon International Seaport. And also, Gia Lai is promoting the development of Phu My deep-water seaport, which will create a strategic transit route for goods serving Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia - Thailand trade. This is a golden opportunity for Thai enterprises to invest and cooperate in building a production, processing, transit and distribution center for goods serving the entire Mekong Region. This Seminar is not only a simple investment promotion activity, but also a strategic connection forum where Thai investors and Gia Lai's economic ecosystem can share visions and build value chain linkage projects towards sustainable development and common prosperity.
Speaking at the Seminar, Mr. Chartchai Panichewa – Vice Chairman in charge of trade and investment of FTI was very enthusiastic about the Seminar theme: Discovering Gia Lai Vietnam - Trade and Investment Breakthrough, where state management agencies, the business community, investors and partners with the same vision, promoting cooperation and sustainable economic development are gathered together. He let us know that coming to this Seminar, there were about 20 business leaders from 12 industrial sectors including auto parts, fertilizers, agriculture, aviation, chemicals, food, furniture, glass, logistics, machinery and tools, printing, packaging, industrial safety equipment and related service sectors.
Thailand and Vietnam have complementary strengths. Thailand has advantages in agriculture, automobiles, electronics and services, while Vietnam is developing strongly in industry. This combination has opened up opportunities for cooperation, joint ventures, technology transfer and supply chain linkage between the two nations. Mr. Chartchai Panichewa strongly believes that today's event will be an important milestone in strengthening the bilateral cooperation relationship between Thailand and Vietnam, opening up many new investment opportunities, meaningful partnerships and a common vision for sustainable growth in the region.
