Regarding investors, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that there are three most important contents to evaluate a good industrial park and cluster investor: Financial capacity, ability to fill industrial parks and clusters and quality of investment attraction.

For old industrial parks and clusters that have been deployed: The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested investors to review 5 criteria on infrastructure and investment attraction. By the end of 2025, the province will re-evaluate the level of implementation of investors on these 5 criteria; at the same time, it will consider and revoke projects if they do not meet the requirements.
