At the same time, as many as 34 countries and territories have injected capital into a number of projects in Binh Duong Province this year, with total capital pledges reaching US$2.4 billion, rocketing 81% year-on-year.

At the meeting, many foreign firms and the enterprise association pointed out some difficulties affecting local and international firms’ operations in the province, including traffic, logistics, licensing procedures, import tariffs and manpower.
