With advantages in the semiconductor industry and high-tech agriculture, Japan is currently a top priority investor in attracting investment in Ha Nam . Although 2024 is a difficult year for the Japanese economy as the yen continues to depreciate against the USD, it is also an opportunity for Japan to increase the value of its foreign investment revenues. With advantages in land, transport infrastructure, labor and policy mechanisms, Ha Nam continues to be an attractive investment destination for many Japanese enterprises.
Ms. Vu Thi Minh Phuong, Deputy Head of the Provincial Industrial Parks Management Board, said: Ha Nam currently has 8 operating industrial parks, attracting 1,227 investment projects; of which 401 projects have foreign direct investment (FDI) with a total investment capital of 6.490 billion USD. With the policy of prioritizing attracting potential investors in the fields of electronics, CNC agriculture , and environmental friendliness, Ha Nam has dedicated Dong Van III Industrial Park to attract Japanese investors.
According to the assessment of the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board, Japan is currently the country with the second largest number of investors in Ha Nam province, with 108 projects (accounting for nearly 30% of FDI projects in Ha Nam) with a total registered capital of more than 1.333 billion USD. In recent years, Japanese enterprises have always been at the top of the list of FDI enterprises with large contributions to the provincial budget; including Sumi Vietnam Wiring System Co., Ltd., Honda Vietnam Branch in Ha Nam, YKK Vietnam Co., Ltd., Kyosha Vietnam Co., Ltd., etc.
The above figures have affirmed the attractiveness of the investment environment in Ha Nam, and at the same time affirmed the correct orientations and visions of the leaders of Ha Nam province in the socio-economic development strategy in general and in the field of investment attraction in particular; especially attracting investment from Japan. At the working conference with the Gunma Provincial Delegation (Japan) on October 13, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Truong Quoc Huy affirmed: Ha Nam always promotes cooperation with localities and foreign organizations, as well as attracting investment, creating conditions for foreign investors to do business, especially Japanese enterprises. Ha Nam considers investment cooperation with Japan as one of the important tasks to mobilize resources and promote the socio-economic development of the province. The activities of Japanese enterprises in recent times have actively contributed to the economic restructuring, increasing the value of industrial production, especially in the fields of supporting industry, manufacturing and processing according to the province's orientation; creating jobs for workers, contributing to the budget, actively participating in the province's social security activities...
Currently, in addition to dedicating an industrial park to attract Japanese enterprises with synchronous infrastructure, ensuring the quality of services for enterprises, Ha Nam has established Japan Desk - an office to support Japanese enterprises when they come to study and learn about investment in the province; regularly organize meetings, exchanges, and shares with investors to promptly resolve difficulties and problems in the process of production and business activities in the province. In particular, to meet the demand for high-quality human resources to serve the production development of Japanese enterprises, in recent times, Ha Nam has focused on building and developing human resources with a large scale, structure, and high quality to meet the requirements of enterprises. The province has invited experts who are directors of enterprises in Vietnam to participate in the advisory council in teaching and vocational training for students at Ha Nam Vocational College. This is also the source of labor for enterprises in the area in general and Japanese enterprises in particular. With the policy of prioritizing investors with high technology and environmental friendliness, in recent years, Ha Nam has maintained delegation exchange activities, organized delegations of provincial leaders to promote investment, visit and work with localities in Japan, as well as welcomed delegations of local authorities, organizations and enterprises from Japan to visit, work and survey the investment environment in the province.
On the basis of identifying cooperation with Japanese localities as an important driving force for socio-economic development, contributing to promoting people-to-people exchange between Vietnam and Japan; not only cooperating in the economic field, in 2023, the province organized and participated in many practical events celebrating the 50th anniversary of Vietnam - Japan diplomatic relations. The successful organization of the Ha Nam Culture - Tourism Week 2023, the Vietnam - Japan traditional art performance exchange program; the football exchange program between the Kobe and Hyogo women's football teams with the Phong Phu Ha Nam women's football team; attending the Vietnam Festival in Kanagawa province; attending the 2023 Japan Meeting Conference organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, events organized by the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam... demonstrated the good and strong cooperative relationship between Vietnam and Japan in general, between Ha Nam province and Japanese localities and partners in particular. Discussing this issue, Mr. Tran Xuan Duong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, emphasized: Ha Nam and Japanese partners still have a lot of room and potential for cooperation. Therefore, in the coming time, the province will continue to maintain and develop cooperation in the economic field, focusing on the fields that Ha Nam is prioritizing to attract investment, such as supporting industry, processing, manufacturing; high-tech agriculture; training, human resource development, healthcare, etc.
Japan is also one of the major and key labor export markets of Vietnam. With an abundant and high-quality labor force, in the coming time, Ha Nam will establish cooperative relations with localities and organizations of Japan to send workers of the province to work and study in Japan, especially in the fields of health and nursing. Continuing the strategy of attracting Japanese investors, in October, the leaders of Ha Nam province worked with the Governor of Gunma province, Japan and a business delegation. This is a locality with 12,000 Vietnamese people living, studying and working, the largest foreign community in the province. Therefore, the cooperation program in the field of labor between Ha Nam province and Gunma province and other localities of Japan in the coming time will have many opportunities and bring positive results.
In order to promote the potential and strengths of tourism resources, Ha Nam will continue to promote tourism promotion activities; exchange information, organize cultural exchanges, festivals, events, organize promotional activities, survey the tourism market with Japanese partners and localities to attract more tourists from Japan to Ha Nam.
