Accoding to Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, CEO of SZC, alongside the company’s supports, the Chau Duc Urban Industrial Zone & Golf Course benefits from the outstanding advantages of the BR-VT province. Geographical location and deep-water port system facilitates import and export activities, while robust transportation infrastructure, logistics chain, and amenities expedite commerce, services, and tourism. Finally, favorable investment and business environment and active guidance from local authority constitute a decisive factor for investment decisions.
