During the meeting, Pham Anh Tuan highlighted Gia Lai’s strategic location at the crossroads of the East-West and North-South economic corridors, linking the Central Coast, Central Highlands, Laos, Cambodia, and the Mekong subregion.
He said the province, with 130 kilometers of coastline and 80 kilometers of border, is positioned as a “miniature Vietnam,” offering strong potential in high-tech agriculture, renewable energy, industry, services, and logistics.
The chairman emphasized that Gia Lai has been prioritizing transport infrastructure, deep-water seaports, airports, and industrial zones to attract investors.
He reaffirmed the province’s commitment to supporting businesses under the motto: “the success of enterprises is the success of the province,” pledging to work with investors based on the “five togethers” principle, listening, discussing, implementing, sharing results, and overcoming difficulties together.
KOVECA President Kwon Sung Taek praised Gia Lai’s potential and expressed hopes that provincial leaders would ease access for Korean enterprises to local investment policies.
Kim Il Wan, Chairman of Kim Khang Investment and Development Group, requested assistance to lease about 10 hectares of land in Phu My Industrial Park for a renewable energy project. He also sought provincial guidance on procedures for project development.
In response, Chairman Pham Anh Tuan welcomed the goodwill of Korean investors and assigned relevant departments to guide them through investment processes.
He expressed hope that KOVECA would continue to connect more Korean companies with Gia Lai to expand cooperation.
