Tien Giang attracts USD 9 million of investment in early 2018
The Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang has received positive investment signs since the start of this year, said Deputy Director of the provincial Planning and Investment Department Nguyen Dinh Thong.
In early 2018, the province lured two new foreign direct investment (FDI) projects worth USD 9 million, comprising a garment-textile company and a steel pipe producing company.
Tien Giang will continue stepping up administrative reform and support businesses in investment law and climate, the official added.
