Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has issued a directive on measures to draw more foreign investment to Viet Nam in the near future.

The PM has asked relevant ministries and agencies to finalise and publicise a list of projects calling for foreign investment during the 2006-10 period and build up an investment mobilisation campaign targeting key regions and potential transnational corporations.

Other measures include organising Vietnamese Days abroad, holding working sessions between investment promotion delegations with representatives from leading groups in key localities abroad, and quickly establishing overseas investment promotion centers. 
The government leader underlined the importance of establishing soon a mechanism to encourage the participation of foreign businesses in developing infrastructure, ports, and energy in Viet Nam. Priority, he said, will be given to the construction of North-South expressways, the Viet Nam-China economic corridor and the national railway system, as well as water supply and waste treatment projects.

He also required concerned ministries and agencies to offer various forms of port rentals and services, particularly logistics, in order to improve the competitive edge of the country's port system, and to call for more investment in key ports like Hiep Phuoc-Thi Vai, Lach Huyen and Van Phong.

Concerning administrative reform, the PM asked relevant ministries and agencies to thoroughly overcome obstacles emerging during the investment licensing process.

Simplifying and publicising the administrative procedure to foreign investors and setting up hotlines at state management agencies charged with investment at localities to promptly deal with investors' difficulties as well as ease the process for investors is also necessary, he said.

In addition, the PM gave instructions on a series of measures to build and enforce related regulations and implement tasks relating to labour and salary matters with the aim of creating more incentives for foreign investors.
