On Friday Liem and officials of the southern province of Binh Duong paid a visit to foreign investors in the industrial parks of Vietnam Singapore, Viet Huong and Dong An where many foreign firms were affected in the riots a few days ago.
Liem, on behalf of Binh Duong authorities, apologized to foreign investors for the unfortunate incidents. He said the province and the Ministry of Public Security were deploying solutions to ensure security for investors.
“Binh Duong Province pledge to take all necessary measures to ensure maximum safety for businesses and to help businesses resume normal operations as soon as possible,” Liem said.
The official also said that the province was calculating damages of foreign businesses to give them financial assistances in order to help them resume operations.
Mr. Bui Manh Lan, Chairman of the Hung Thinh Joint Stock Company, the owner of Dong An Industrial Park, said 80% of the enterprises in this IP were not affected by the riots and they were operating normally. Of the 35 damaged companies in the IP, nearly 10 businesses will resume production next week.
The General Director of Bowker Vietnam Ltd. – a Hong Kong-invested garment firm – said his company had been operating in Binh Duong for over 10 years and the company trusted the investment environment in Binh Duong. “After the incident, although out factory was damaged but thanks to the timely support of the provincial authorities, we have resumed operation on May 16. Currently 3,300 of 3,500 workers have been back to work,” he said.
