As of July 15, about 75% of the workload had been completed as scheduled, he said.
In June last year, LG Innotek Hai Phong and the municipal People’s Committee signed a Memorandum of Understanding on expanding investment and production at the factory.
On June 26, 2023, the committee presented a certificate to LG Innotek approving its capital adjustment for 2023-2025 by 1 billion USD, raising its total investment to over 2 billion USD.
Kien said the factory expansion will help Hai Phong become a destination of success for investors.
In the first half of this year, the city's Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) rose by 10.32% compared to the same period last year, ranking 5th among 63 provinces and centrally-run cities nationwide, second in the Red River Delta and first among centrally-run cities.
So far this year, Hai Phong has attracted over 1.55 billion USD, making up 77.58% of the yearly target.
With a total of 183 projects worth 11.5 billion USD, the Republic of Korea (RoK) ranks first among 39 countries and territories investing in the city.
