Jeil E&C’s project will cover over four hectares in Long Thanh high-tech park. The project is set to meet the high demand for warehouses among retailers and e-commerce businesses, in the context that the mega Long Thanh International Airport is under construction in the province.
Speaking at the event, Dong Nai Vice Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Hoang affirmed that local authorities would provide the best conditions for the investor to implement the project.
Dong Nai has so far attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) of over $34.65 billion, among the top recipients in Vietnam. South Korea is the biggest FDI source for Dong Nai with 42 projects and registered capital of $7.26 billion, according to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment.
South Korea’s investments in Dong Nai province focus on footwear, fiber-weaving, wooden products, electronics, and apparel-textiles.
