Binh Duong province is attractive to investors, because not only it is close to seaports, airports, HCMC… but also provincial leadership always listens to enterprises to solve promptly and effectively difficulties of enterprises. It was the common comment of investors doing business in the province, as talking about the boom and strong attraction to investors of Binh Duong province.
v Luu Phuoc Loc, Deputy Chairman of Binh Duong Association of Wood Processing: Binh Duong favors wood enterprises.
On the big occasion of the 41st anniversary of the National Liberation and Reunification Day, I myself feel so emotional. The fiercest period went over, peace again, and everybody have a better life. To the business community, the country has opened and integrated deeply into the world, that is both a chance and challenge to them. Binh Duong Association of Wood Processing is doing their best to help the wood industry to become the strength of Binh Duong.
Currently, our member number is 150. Binh Duong has favored enterprises producing and exporting wood through the establishment of a specialized industrial zone for wood processing. Hopefully, when this wood specialized industrial zone is put into operation, provincial Association of Wood Processing would become a unified entity that is able to mobilize all financial resources, brainpower … to enhance the added values as exporting.
v Kazuhito Yamamoto, President of Industrial Division III, Japanese Business Association in Binh Duong: The success of Binh Duong is to listen business’ opinions.
Japanese Business Association in the southern region of Vietnam has about 900 businesses investing provinces of Binh Duong, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Long An ... Compared with other localities, Binh Duong province has attracted many Japanese investors and large projects, because our voice is heard and acquired to make real changes here. Namely, to improve competitiveness of locality and businesses, Binh Duong has put many efforts into administrative procedure reform towards simplification but effectiveness. Functional sectors have enhanced administrative procedure reform in this direction, for example, Binh Duong Customs. This agency has taken the lead in the application of the OSS customs clearance system to save much time, costs of businesses.
Binh Duong province pays much attention to infrastructure system, although it has not satisfied the development needs yet. For example, transport infrastructure system. In my opinion, success or failure comes from people. We build up a good apparatus, but we also need to regularly check and upgrade to avoid errors, which will affect badly the whole apparatus.
v Huynh Cong Phat, Deputy General Director of Binh Duong Production - Import Export Corporation (Thuan An Town): Binh Duong understand enterprises thoroughly
Song Be province (now are Binh Duong and Binh Phuoc province) was once a poor province, must receive subsidies from the Central government. Some businesses in the province also started with difficulties to reach out and seek markets in the absence of funds, lack of experiences. But the sense of responsibility and learning new things have helped entrepreneurs to think differently, to do differently and take responsibility for what they had done.
From this fact, Binh Duong leaders always respect and create favorable conditions for enterprises to promote their success on the homeland. It is also the success of Binh Duong.

Binh Duong land and people came out of the hardships of wars, and grown up proudly in the innovation and development of the local and national economy. Certainly in the near future, Binh Duong will develop further, thanks to the wise, consistent leadership and direction of provincial Party, People's Council and People's Committee and the high response of the business community and all people strata.

I was born and grown up on the mighty Binh Duong land. After many historical events, I luckily witnessed and attached to the development of the province. I work in the cashew processing industry. In 2013, I decided to contribute money to moving the main processing factory to An Phu, Thuan An Town to develop our business. Since then, I had the opportunity to witness the speedy development of Binh Duong.
The growing presence of foreign enterprises in the province has showed that Binh Duong province has become a fascinating dynamic destination in the southern key economic zone. I am sure that Binh Duong in the near future will continue to grow stronger.

Living in a peaceful and healthy environment is what entrepreneurs dream of. Binh Duong entrepreneurs and I myself always consider ourselves as soldiers. The soldiers on the economic front will bring talent, intellect to generate good products competing with the world market. Cuong Phat is proud to put their products on the international market, contributing to the diversification of Binh Duong export products.
However, with signed free trade agreements, the economic front would become more intense in the future. We look forward to continue receive the supports from the government through more open, more effective mechanisms and policies.
