From 30 March to 4 April, a delegation from Long An province, led by the Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, Nguyễn Văn Út, will visit Japan for a working trip. This visit is a key initiative within Long An’s 2025 Investment Promotion Programme, focusing on attracting investment, developing high-tech agriculture, and fostering local partnerships. It is expected to create strategic cooperation opportunities between Long An and Japanese partners.

During the trip, the delegation will engage in a series of investment promotion activities, holding direct discussions with government agencies, organizations, business associations, and leading Japanese corporations, including the Ibaraki Agricultural Association. In addition, they will conduct on-site visits to exemplary high-tech agricultural models in Ibaraki and explore the application of advanced technologies in agricultural production in Long An.

A key highlight of the visit is the "Long An – Japan Trade and Investment Promotion Programme 2025", co-organized by the Long An Provincial People’s Committee and the Embassy of Vietnam in Japan, to be held in Tokyo. This event is not only a large-scale investment promotion initiative but also a strategic forum connecting Long An with Japan’s leading enterprises and corporations.

The program will provide a comprehensive overview of Long An’s attractive investment environment, development potential, and cooperation opportunities. It is expected to mark significant progress in strengthening partnerships, attracting investment, and positioning Long An as a prime destination for Japanese businesses in Vietnam.

Currently, Long An hosts approximately 1,512 FDI projects, with a total registered capital exceeding USD 14.3 billion. Among these, Japanese investors account for 161 projects, with a total registered investment of over USD 1.2 billion, ranking fourth in both the number of projects and investment capital among investors from 40 countries and territories operating in the province.

The investment promotion program in Japan is an important kick-off event for Long An’s 2025 investment promotion agenda, aiming to strengthen economic and trade ties and deepen connections with Japanese partners.

The visit is expected to attract further Japanese investment in Long An, fostering cooperation in high-tech industries, supporting industries, and infrastructure development. High-tech agriculture, with its modern and sustainable production models, is a key focus area, promising long-term benefits for both sides.
