At the meeting, the Chairman of KOCHAM shows the impression for the potential and development direction of Khanh Hoa in the new phase. According to Mr. Ko Tae Yeon, KOCHAM has had many discussions with central and provincial authorities in Khanh Hoa about investment cooperation opportunities. The fact that Khanh Hoa province has identified industry as one of its development pillars, and is focusing on implementing large-scale projects in energy, infrastructure, and industrial parks, is considered a key factor attracting Korean businesses. The Chairman of KOCHAM expressed his hope to continue receiving the province's support and cooperation to expand exchanges and orient cooperation, thereby attracting more foreign direct investment in the future.

Speaking at the meeting, Provincial Party Secretary Nghiem Xuan Thanh affirmed that after the merger of Ninh Thuan and Khanh Hoa provinces, the new Khanh Hoa province has many outstanding potentials and advantages, with four pillars of development: industry, energy, tourism - services, and urban - construction. Among these, industry, industrial infrastructure, and energy are the areas the province prioritizes in attracting Korean businesses to research and invest. To facilitate investment, the province has recently granted investment certificates for three large-scale industrial parks. Mr. Nghiem Xuan Thanh acknowledged and highly appreciated the contributions of Korean businesses operating in the province, and committed to continuing to support investors with the motto of "2 quick" (quick land clearance, quick investment procedures) and "4 good" (good opportunities, good policies, good infrastructure, good human resources).
The Provincial Party Secretary also stated that Khanh Hoa is planned to become a national energy center, while Korea has many strengths in this field. In the coming time, the province hopes that Korean businesses will pay attention to explore and expand investment in areas such as energy, seaports, and maritime transport. It is expected that after the Lunar New Year, Khanh Hoa will cooperate with KOCHAM to organize a meeting and networking event for the Korean business community to promote investment cooperation.
