PM Pham Minh Chinh (R) receives Lee Chong Min, Founder and Managing Partner of CMIA Capital Partners Singapore
Singapore (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on February 10, 2023 met leading Singaporean and Singapore-based businesses and investment funds, as part of his ongoing official visit to the country.
At a meeting with Lee Chong Min, Founder and Managing Partner of CMIA Capital Partners Singapore, and Nina Yang, CEO of Surbana Jurong (SJ), PM Chinh said that leaders of Vietnam and Singapore encourage the strengthening of cooperation in connecting the two economies on the digital platform with high technology investment and transfer, and green growth.
Lee said that in April 2022, the CMIA signed a memorandum of understanding with the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City and the People’s Committee of the city’s Cu Chi district to develop a high-tech agricultural ecological urban area in the city. The CMIA is proposed to be the investor and the SJ will be the master planning designer and management unit of the project.
He said the CMIA hopes that Vietnam will promptly approve the adjustment of planning and the investment policy of the project, while allowing the CMIA to be its investor and developer.
The PM welcomed the initiative of CMIA and SJ to develop the project in Cu Chi district of HCM City.
He said that the Vietnamese Government has directed the building of transportation projects to connect Cu Chi, HCM City and nearby Binh Duong province to boost the district’s growth. He asked for the CMIA’s engagement in and consultation to the building of the project to optimise the potential and advantages of the district and the region. The Vietnamese side will assist investors during the implementation of the project, he vowed.
