The Japan Desk is set to serve as a co-ordinator between Japanese investors and local authorities regarding information updates and investment facilitation for Japanese investors in the Mekong Delta region.

Vietnamese businesses will also be able to make use of the office free for conferences involving Japanese partners in order to promote further trade and investment ties between the two countries.

According to VCCI’s branch in Can Tho, a Mekong Delta-Japan business forum is scheduled to take place in September and around 200 Japanese investors will join the direct flight from Tokyo to Can Tho in order to attend the forum.

The VCCI Can Tho Japan Desk has been tasked with both guiding and supporting Japanese financiers and helping them to address difficulties, thus helping lure more foreign direct investment (FDI) from Japan to the Mekong Delta region.
