"Unleashing Potential - Shaping the Future" was the theme of the investment cooperation networking conference for businesses in Ho Chi Minh City and Ca Mau province, held in Ho Chi Minh City on the morning of November 18th.

Ho Chi Minh City needs to expand its regional connectivity.

Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Dung informed that Ho Chi Minh City is a special urban area, an economic center , and one of the important growth poles of the country.

However, to achieve double-digit growth, the city needs to expand its regional connectivity and form supply chains (from raw materials, production, logistics, services, and tourism). Therefore, Ca Mau is a locality that simultaneously meets the requirements in terms of resources, development potential, and strategic location for the marine economy .

Mr. Dung assessed that the cooperative relationship between Ho Chi Minh City and Ca Mau over the years has achieved positive results in the fields of investment, trade, tourism, healthcare , human resource training, and OCOP product development. These achievements have created a foundation for the development of socio-economic linkages between the two localities.

He then suggested that both sides continue to proactively provide information, clarify mechanisms, and promptly receive and process proposals from investors.

The Secretary of the Ca Mau Provincial Party Committee emphasized that after the merger, Ca Mau entered a new phase with a vast space and many outstanding advantages. Ca Mau possesses many strategic advantages such as being a national fisheries center, a renewable energy center, and a large mangrove forest ecosystem - the foundation for the development of a green and circular economy.

The province's economic growth rate (GRDP) for the period 2020-2025 averaged over 7% per year, the economic structure shifted in the right direction, and the socio-economic development targets were basically achieved.

Infrastructure in Ca Mau has received significant investment, including the Hon Khoai dual-use general port capable of receiving 250,000-ton vessels, a 4C-class airport, and three expressways connecting to the region's economic centers and Ho Chi Minh City.

In addition, the national power development plan until 2030 in Ca Mau province includes 34 wind power projects with a capacity of over 2,300 MW. Ca Mau province has prepared and submitted to the Government for consideration and approval a plan for electricity exports until 2040, with the goal of exporting approximately 5,000 MW by 2040.
