Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has agreed to add five industrial parks (IPs) in the southern province of Tay Ninh into the list of national top-priority IPs to be established by 2015.
The IPs namely Hiep Thanh, Bau Hai Nam, Gia Binh, Cha La and Thanh Dien will cover a combined area of 1,150 hectares, the government said on its website.
Vietnam now has 228 IPs, including 162 operational ones but only 48% of them have been occupied so far, said Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Dang Huy Dong.
From now to 2015, Vietnam will build an additional 91 IPs covering a combined area of 20,800 ha and expand 22 operational IPs, Dong added.
Local IPs have to date attracted 6,800 projects totaling $60.2 billion, including 3,600 foreign-invested projects worth $46.9 billion. (
