Head of the Management Board of Da Nang High-Tech Park and Industrial Zones - Vu Quang Hung said that on the morning of June 22, the People's Committee of Da Nang City will hold a ceremony to announce the Decision to establish the Da Nang Free Trade Zone (DTC). This is a turning point event, opening a new chapter for the economic development of the city and the Central region.
The event was attended by about 600 delegates, including leaders of the Government, ministries, branches, localities and the business community.
Right at the announcement ceremony, a series of important memorandums of understanding on cooperation will be signed. This is a good start, demonstrating the interest and confidence of investors in the potential of the E-commerce Zone. Notably, the Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony between the City People's Committee and strategic investors, along with cooperation between BIDV Bank and the Customs Branch of Region XII to develop smart customs monitoring solutions. These signings are not only commitments but also the first concrete steps, turning policies into practical actions.
According to Decision No. 1142/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister, Da Nang Trading and Investment Zone has a scale of about 1,881 hectares, arranged in 7 locations not adjacent. The functional areas are planned in a diverse manner, including production, logistics, trade - services, digital technology industry and innovation, creating a comprehensive economic ecosystem.
Da Nang's goal is to develop the E-commerce Zone on a modern infrastructure platform, becoming a regional economic center and a strategic growth pole of the country. This is a strategic step to build Da Nang into an important link in the global supply chain, a production center and international cargo transit unit, closely connected with Lien Chieu seaport, Da Nang international airport and the East-West Economic Corridor.
In the long term, the e-commerce area is expected to strongly promote high-tech industry, innovation, and actively contribute to the economic restructuring process of the new Da Nang city after the merger. This project will develop in parallel with the International Financial Center, forming a modern, smart, highly competitive economic ecosystem, contributing to enhancing Vietnam's position in the international arena. On the sidelines of the event, field surveys and information exhibitions are also organized to give investors the most comprehensive view of the project.
