Hanoi is offering incentives for enterprises, particularly those from
Japan, to apply advanced technologies in waste treatment in the capital,
said Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung.
At a reception for Nakamuara Tetsunosuke, President of the Vietnam–Japan
Friendship Association in Osaka province, Japan on August 3, Chung
affirmed that Hanoi is seeking urgent solutions to waste and waste water
treatment, one of the key tasks in the next five years.
The incentives include a 50 percent discount in land rental fees, an
11-year exemption from business income tax, along with other support for
Japanese workers in the city, according to Chung.
Hanoi has developed a relatively complete traffic infrastructure
including a highway network, and also Noi Bai international airport,
facilitating its connection with other provinces nationwide and
countries in the world, Chung added.
The capital city also calls for investment in transport development,
including eight urban railways, belt-ring roads and bridges, as well as
in clean agricultural product processing and tourism, he said.
The municipal leader expressed his admiration of the achievements Japan
has made as well as the support the country has provided for Vietnam.
Hanoi has attracted approximately 24 billion USD in foreign direct
investment, including 15 billion USD from Japan in 600 projects,
according to Chung.
One of the big Japanese-funded projects in the locality is a clean water
plant with a daily capacity of 270,000 cubic metres, to be completed in
2019, Chung said.
The same day, the Japanese delegation met Chairman of the municipal
People’s Council Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc, who called on Hanoi and Osaka to
expand their investment cooperation, and strengthen experience sharing
in legislation and human resources training.-VNA
