Tay Ninh Province, southern Vietnam, is set to prioritize attracting Japanese investment into high-tech industries, supporting industries, digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), high-tech agriculture, and renewable energy in the coming years.
This orientation was highlighted by Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Le Van Han during a working session on April 15 with a delegation from Okayama City, Japan, led by Mayor Omori Masao.
During the meeting, Mr. Han emphasized that Japan is one of the province's top strategic partners. Many Japanese enterprises are currently operating successfully in Tay Ninh, particularly in the fields of mechanical engineering, electronics, and agricultural and food processing.
To date, the locality has attracted over 2,000 FDI projects with a total registered capital of nearly $25 billion. Japan currently ranks fourth among the province's foreign investors, accounting for 176 projects with a total investment exceeding $1.26 billion. Japanese businesses are noted not only for their stable operations but also for their significant contributions to local industrial development.
Mayor Omori Masao expressed his hope that Tay Ninh and other Vietnamese localities would continue to provide favorable conditions for Japanese enterprises to explore the investment environment and expand their production and business activities. He also shared that Okayama City is currently facing a labor shortage in several sectors, including construction, nursing, elderly care, logistics, and trade.
He said he expected both sides to enhance cooperation in connecting, training, and receiving high-quality labor. This initiative aims to meet local socio-economic development needs while expanding job opportunities and increasing income for Vietnamese workers.
Based on the Joint Declaration of Cooperation signed during the session, key areas of future cooperation will focus on: developing high-tech and supporting industries; promoting high-quality human resource training tailored to corporate demands; and effectively implementing internship programs to provide opportunities for Vietnamese laborers to study and work in Japan.
