Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Pham Anh Tuan Meets with Korean Organizations and Businesses to Promote Investment Cooperation in Gia Lai

Overview of the working session.

During the meeting with the Korea Federation of SMEs (KBIZ), Chairman Pham Anh Tuan highly appreciated KBIZ’s role in fostering international economic cooperation for Korea’s small and medium-sized business community. He noted that, both in Vietnam in general and Gia Lai Province in particular, small and medium-sized enterprises account for a large share of the economy and make important contributions to economic growth, job creation, and socio-economic development.

Providing information on Gia Lai Province’s potential and advantages following the administrative reorganization, the Chairman emphasized that the province now combines the strengths of both the South Central Coast and the Central Highlands regions. With extensive development opportunities ranging from the marine economy to agriculture, together with more than one million hectares of natural land, Gia Lai possesses significant advantages for developing large-scale and sustainable economic sectors.

In addition, the province’s transportation infrastructure is being progressively developed in a synchronized manner, with seaports, airports, and border gates creating favorable conditions for industrial development, logistics, and international trade. Notably, Gia Lai is implementing the project to upgrade and expand Phu Cat Airport, which is expected to be capable of receiving charter flights by September this year. At the same time, investment is being promoted for the Phu My Deep-Sea Port project, which will be able to accommodate vessels of up to 150,000 tons, opening up significant opportunities for attracting investment and developing the marine economy.

Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee and KBIZ representatives shake hands, reaffirming their commitment to promoting investment, trade, and business exchanges between Gia Lai and the Republic of Korea.

Based on these advantages and opportunities, Chairman Pham Anh Tuan expressed his hope that Korean enterprises would consider investing in sectors such as processing and manufacturing industries, supporting industries, high technology, digital transformation, new material production, deep processing of agricultural products, logistics development, and export supply chains linked to the province’s key agricultural and seafood products. The province also encourages investment in renewable energy, trade, services, resort tourism, golf tourism, and other sectors associated with the green economy and circular economy.

Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Pham Anh Tuan affirmed that Gia Lai is committed to providing the most favorable conditions for investors and will accompany businesses throughout the process of project research, implementation, and operation. Through these efforts, the province aims to effectively attract foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly from Korea’s small and medium-sized business community.

On this occasion, the two sides also held in-depth discussions on solutions to improve the quality of meals provided to students and workers in industrial parks, thereby contributing to better physical health, improved well-being, and enhanced human resource quality.

The Gia Lai provincial delegation and representatives of GlassDome discuss cooperation opportunities in carbon emissions management and the digital transformation of manufacturing.

Earlier, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Pham Anh Tuan held a working session with representatives of GlassDome, a leading Korean company specializing in carbon emissions data management solutions and production monitoring systems. Through discussions and exchanges, the two sides reached preliminary agreements on cooperation in carbon credit management and trading, as well as investment in the development of green industries in Gia Lai Province.

According to the plan, representatives of GlassDome will visit Gia Lai later this June to continue discussions, clarify areas of cooperation, and conduct surveys on specific investment opportunities. Gia Lai currently has nearly 693,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 295,000 hectares of planted forest. In recent years, the province has focused on developing large-timber forests and expanding the area of forests certified under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) sustainable forest management standards. These resources are considered a significant asset, providing substantial potential for the future development of the carbon credit market.
