On February 6, in an exchange with Lao Dong reporters, a representative of the Cao Bang Provincial Economic Zone Management Board said that the Provincial People's Committee and relevant departments and agencies had just had a working session with BMK Group Joint Stock Company to exchange and assess the prospects for investment cooperation in infrastructure construction of industrial parks and clusters in the area.
According to this representative, after the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year, BMK Group will conduct field surveys and develop specific investment plans to report to the province.
Previously, on February 5, Chairman of Cao Bang Provincial People's Committee Le Hai Hoa had a working session with BMK Group to exchange investment cooperation opportunities. The business was led by Mr. Nguyen Van Vuong - Chairman of the Board of Directors of BMK Group.
At the working session, the Chairman of Cao Bang Provincial People's Committee briefly informed about the socio-economic development situation of the locality, and emphasized the direction of attracting investment in the coming time, focusing on developing economic zones, industrial parks, industrial clusters, technical infrastructure and urban areas.
Provincial leaders affirmed that Cao Bang always has a consistent view of accompanying businesses, creating a transparent and open investment environment; ready to support investors in the process of accessing information, completing procedures and implementing projects in accordance with legal regulations.
Representatives of BMK Group said that the enterprise was established in 2020, operating in the fields of investment, real estate business, infrastructure construction of industrial parks, industrial clusters and urban areas.
The Group plans to closely coordinate with departments and branches of the province to research, survey, and prepare necessary conditions, towards investing in the construction of industrial zones and clusters in Thuc Phan, Tan Giang wards and Tra Linh commune, expected to be implemented from 2026.
Cao Bang is a locality rich in mineral resources such as manganese, tungsten, tin, iron... However, to date, the province still does not have a large-scale deep mineral processing zone.
Most mining enterprises only stop at mining, investing little in on-site processing, causing the index of industrial production to lack sustainability, even leaving many environmental consequences when enterprises withdraw.
In addition, with the advantage of a long border adjacent to China, if synchronously invested in transportation and industrial infrastructure, Cao Bang is expected to have an important "push" to promote economic development.
Local people also expressed great expectations for industrial park projects. Ms. Ly Thi Thoan (Tan Giang ward) shared: "If an industrial park is built and businesses are put into operation, people will have stable jobs and not have to go to work far away, everyone hopes so.
According to the Management Board of Cao Bang Economic Zone, in the past time, the locality has invested 153 billion VND to build 1,124m of road to Chu Trinh industrial park, including 260m of road connecting National Highway 34B and 864m of internal road.
Currently, the unit is requesting additional investment capital for the 2026-2030 period and calling for potential investors to participate in completing the project infrastructure. This is also the only industrial park in the province under construction.
In the coming time, Cao Bang province is expected to continue investing in building industrial zones and clusters in many localities such as Tan Giang, De Tham (Thuc Phan), Dong Khe, Tien Thanh, Ta Lung...
Mr. Tran Dinh Nam (Director of KLC Investment Construction & Trading Co., Ltd.) - said: "The industrial park is a long-standing desire of the business community. If invested methodically, production and business will be more stable.
For example, if we were allowed to build a concrete station in an industrial park, the stages from land fund to environmental treatment and noise would be much more convenient.
