Sharing updates on the investment and operational status of Japanese enterprises in Dong Nai, JCCH Chairman Kume Kunihide noted that over the past period, many Japanese businesses in Dong Nai have experienced robust growth, topping up production capital, expanding factories, and investing in modern equipment. The operations of Japanese firms in Dong Nai have been consistently maintained and scaled up. Mr. Kume Kunihide expressed his hope that Dong Nai would continue to be an attractive destination for investments from Japanese enterprises. Along with his aspirations for Japanese businesses to further grow and invest in Dong Nai, Mr. Kume Kunihide also requested that municipal leaders soon organize a meeting and dialogue session between city leadership and Japanese enterprises.

Acknowledging the opinions and proposals raised by the JCCH Chairman, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Municipal People's Committee Nguyen Kim Long stated that Dong Nai City recently welcomed General Secretary and President To Lâm for a working session with local leaders. Accordingly, General Secretary and President To Lâm unlocked numerous development opportunities for Dong Nai through various specific mechanisms and policies. Along with the care and support from the Central Government, the leadership of Dong Nai City firmly maintains its stance of supporting and accompanying businesses throughout their entire investment and operational processes in Dong Nai, including Japanese enterprises.

The Permanent Vice Chairman of the Dong Nai Municipal People's Committee expressed his desire for Japanese businesses to maintain their interest and expand investments in Dong Nai. Notably, the leadership of Dong Nai City consistently calls for and offers multiple preferential policies to investors entering industrial zones in northern Dong Nai. According to the Permanent Vice Chairman, although the industrial zones in northern Dong Nai are not located close to the airport, they possess distinct advantages regarding raw material utilization for agricultural product processing.

Permanent Vice Chairman Nguyen Kim Long hoped that through this meeting, JCCH would acquire more insights into Dong Nai City to establish a foundation for unlocking fresh development cooperation opportunities between Dong Nai City and Japanese partners. He also looked forward to JCCH continuing to serve as an effective bridge, actively introducing Japanese partners and enterprises to survey and invest in Dong Nai City in the coming time.

Japan currently ranks 2nd in the number of projects and 3rd in total foreign investment capital in Dong Nai, with 288 projects totaling nearly 5.9 billion USD. Japanese enterprises have contributed significantly to socio-economic development, creating jobs for laborers, and driving local industrial, trade, and service progression, particularly within Dong Nai City's supporting industries over the past period.
