The conference will be chaired by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Planning and Investment, the Secretary of the municipal Party Committee, and the Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee. It is expected to welcome 500 delegates, including 100 foreigners.
A ceremony will be held in the framework of the conference to present investment scheme and investment license certificates to the Vinmex Can Tho General Hospital project, the 6,000 hectare organic dairy farm project.
In 2017, trade promotion activities helped the city lure investment and increase export revenue.
Some 77 foreign direct investment projects worth 656 million USD landed in the city in the year.
The city earned nearly 1.8 billion USD from export and service revenue, 5.9 percent above its goal and 13.9 percent higher than the figure in 2016.
