With the latest investment, the facility has attracted 18 investments conducted by 15 investors, said Nguyen Van Nhan, CEO of Amata City Halong JSC, the investor of the industrial park. This year, seven projects there are set to commence operations, notably those of Foxconn and Autoliv.

In the year to April 20, Quang Ninh province attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) of $733.5 million, the fifth-biggest number among all localities in the Vietnam.
