The locality has so far attracted over 3,500 foreign-invested projects, ranking third behind Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in terms of foreign direct investment attraction. In 2018 alone, it lured USD 2.2 billion in 224 new projects, 132 with adjusted capital, and 162 in stake purchase.
Dung said a highlight of local administrative reform during the 2011-2020 period was the inauguration of the public administrative center, reflecting the province’s determination to develop transparent and efficient administrative services.
Buon Heng, for his part, said the delegation wants to learn from Binh Duong’s experience in launching the administrative center model.
Following the session, the guests visited one-stop shop models at the public administrative centers of Binh Duong and Di An township, the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park II, and several cultural establishments in the locality.
