The event will also see the signing of cooperation agreements and memoranda of understanding by six investors for 18 projects; as well as the granting of investment and registration certificates to five enterprises.

A senior official with the Binh Dinh Investment Promotion Center said the province was focusing on inviting investors with modern, environmentally friendly technologies who can use resources effectively to churn out profitable products.

The province was inviting participation in agriculture, forestry - fisheries, industry, port and logistics services, tourism and the urban economy, the official said.

Binh Dinh was also looking to attract resources for organizing international sports, trade, tourism and cultural events to develop its “sea sports economy,” the official added.
