Support trade and association

To support the business community, Dong Nai has coordinated to promote cooperation between foreign-invested enterprises in the area to connect with local supporting industry enterprises. One of the positive examples in the past time is the activities of the Coordinating Group to promote the development of supporting industries in Dong Nai, under Dong Nai Industrial Zones Authority.
