The fact that investors chose Nghe An province to deploy a large-scale project with modern technology is a testament to the business community's confidence in the province's increasingly transparent, favorable, and dynamic investment environment; at the same time, it reflects the increasingly important role and position of Nghe An province in regional linkage and economic development of the North Central region.

Once operational, the project will generate a powerful driving force, boosting the development of industry, services, logistics, and seaport infrastructure; creating jobs, increasing budget revenue, and enhancing the province's investment attraction capacity in the coming time. This is also an important milestone affirming the determination of Nghe An province in restructuring its economy towards modern industry, green growth, and sustainable development.
