BAC NINH (Biz Hub) — About 200 foreign direct investment (FDI) manufacturers will take part in the FDI Manufacturers Gathering Day forum at the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park in northern Bac Ninh province on October 28.

The event, which the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Vietnam (VCCI) organised with the help of the provincial People's Committee and the Asia Trade City Development Company Ltd., aims to boost co-operation and expand production and business operations among FDI manufacturers in the northern provinces.

Enterprises at the event will share difficulties and obstacles encountered in their business operations in Viet Nam and offer suggestions for improvement. The suggestions will be collated into a report to the Prime Minister.

The forum will focus on updates and discussions on the macroeconomic situation, Viet Nam's investment environment and strategy to attract FDI in the near future, as well as ways to strengthen co-operation between manufacturers and multinational corporations.

It will also help participating companies to hold dialogues with government representatives and ministry and provincial leaders. It is also an opportunity for the Vietnamese government to show its strong commitment to supporting FDI companies' production and business operations.

Businesses will also be able to meet and exchange information with suppliers of components, spare parts, raw materials and techniques in various fields such as mechanical engineering and automobile manufacturing. — VNS
