The Conference Chair
In his opening remarks, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duc Trung, Vice Rector of BUH contended that currently research into mechanisms and policies to generate capital resources for the southern key economic region has theoretical and practical significance to turn this region into a locomotive for the economic development of Vietnam. In accordance with Decision No. 252 / QD-TTg dated February 13, 2014 of the Vietnamese Prime Minister, this economic region (including Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Long An, and Tien Giang provinces) is supposedly the nation's leading economic growth engines. This area plays the role of bridging the Mekong Delta region and the Central Highlands of Vietnam. This region is always a pioneer in integrating and cooperating effectively with countries in Southeast Asia and the world, with HCM City being the nucleus of the region and also a finance, trade, tourism, and international exchange hub in Southeast Asia. Through the conference, recommendations on how to attract investors to the region had been proposed based on an in-depth analysis of theoretical and practical issues.
