More than 120 Japanese businesses attended a workshop in Tokyo on Thursday (November 12, 2015) to seek investment opportunities in Vietnam’s central Da Nang city.

 Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Nguyen Quoc Cuong told the businesses that Da Nang has topped Vietnam’s provincial competitiveness and information-communication technology index for years. He pledged that the Vietnamese Embassy in Japan will provide across-the-board assistance to the Japanese businesses.

 Former Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam and Director of Vietnam Economic Research Institute, Yushita Hiroyuki, called the workshop an ideal opportunity for Japanese businesses to learn more Da Nang’s investment environment and policies. He hailed Da Nang for its potential in developing tourism, seaports, and high-tech parks.
