The province currently has 120 active FDI projects with a total registered capital of over 7.546 billion USD, mainly focusing on tourism - services and industrial construction. Among them, there is one FDI project with funding from Canada with a total investment capital of 100,000 USD in the tourism sector.

He also looks forward to Canadian businesses and investors with experience to explore and collaborate on the various sectors and projects that Binh Thuan province is inviting investment in, particularly in promoting sustainable development, green growth activities, climate change mitigation, environmental protection, educational cooperation, and sustainable development between the two countries in general, and between Canadian agencies, localities, and Binh Thuan province in particular.

Deputy Permanent Chairman Phan Van Dang presented Ms. Annie Dubé with the emblem of Binh Thuan province and took commemorative photos with the delegation from the Consulate General of Canada in Ho Chi Minh City.

Expressing gratitude for such warm reception from the provincial leaders of Binh Thuan, Ms. Annie Dubé - Consul General of Canada in Ho Chi Minh City expressed excitement about the increasingly positive development of the relationship between Canada and Vietnam.

Ms. Annie Dubé affirmed that this visit aims to further enhance cooperation between Canada and Binh Thuan, especially in sectors where Binh Thuan province has significant development potential. Following this visit, Canada will actively collaborate with departments and agencies of Binh Thuan province to promote commercial activities and create positive changes in the cooperative relationship between the two sides.
