Japan currently ranks fourth among the province’s foreign investors, accounting for 176 projects with a total investment exceeding $1.26 billion.

Tay Ninh Province, southern Vietnam, is set to prioritize attracting
Japanese investment into high-tech industries, supporting industries, digital
transformation, artificial intelligence (AI), high-tech agriculture, and
renewable energy in the coming years.

This orientation was highlighted by Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Le Van Han during a working
session on April 15 with a delegation from Okayama City, Japan, led by Mayor
Omori Masao.

During the meeting, Mr. Han emphasized
that Japan is one of the province’s top strategic partners. Many Japanese
enterprises are currently operating successfully in Tay Ninh, particularly in
the fields of mechanical engineering, electronics, and agricultural and food
processing.

To date, the locality has attracted over 2,000 FDI
projects with a total registered capital of nearly $25 billion. Japan
currently ranks fourth among the province’s foreign investors, accounting for
176 projects with a total investment exceeding $1.26 billion. Japanese
businesses are noted not only for their stable operations but also for their
significant contributions to local industrial development.

Mayor Omori Masao expressed his hope that Tay Ninh and other Vietnamese localities would continue to provide
favorable conditions for Japanese enterprises to explore the investment
environment and expand their production and business activities. He also shared
that Okayama City is currently facing a labor shortage in several sectors, including
construction, nursing, elderly care, logistics, and trade.

He said he expected both sides to enhance
cooperation in connecting, training, and receiving high-quality labor. This
initiative aims to meet local socio-economic development needs while expanding
job opportunities and increasing income for Vietnamese workers.

Based on the Joint Declaration of Cooperation signed
during the session, key areas of future cooperation will focus on: developing high-tech and supporting industries; promoting high-quality human resource training
tailored to corporate demands; and effectively implementing internship programs to
provide opportunities for Vietnamese laborers to study and work in Japan.
