越南在日本招商

Recently the NHK News on-line reported the following:
ベトナムの地方政府の訪問団が１０日、都内で投資セミナーを開き、国の目標にも掲げているすそ野産業の発展を実現するため、部品などを製造する日本の中小企業に進出を呼びかけました。
このセミナーは、ベトナム南部・ドンナイ省の省政府が７年ぶりに開いたもので、省トップの人民委員会の委員長を団長に企業誘致の担当者など３８人が出席しました。
セミナーでは、ディン・クオック・タイ委員長が「私たちは部品を製造できるすそ野産業を評価し歓迎しています」と述べ、日本の中小企業に投資を呼びかけました。
ベトナムは、東南アジアでも最低水準の賃金で投資を呼び込み、経済発展を続けてきましたが、工場に部品を供給できるすそ野産業が育っておらず、輸入に頼っているため、慢性的な貿易赤字が課題になっています。
このためベトナムでは、去年からすそ野産業の発展を国家目標に掲げ、各省政府が日本の中小企業の誘致を進めており、今月だけでも４つの省の代表が相次いで日本を訪れています。
一方、日本の中小企業も円高などでの影響で進出への関心は高く、１０日は定員を上回る２５０人が参加し、省政府が検討している税の優遇措置などの説明に聞き入っていました。
参加した中小企業の経営者の１人は、「（大手と比べ）海外に出遅れていると感じているので、いいきっかけにしたい」と話していました。

On the 10th, the visiting party from Vietnam's local government opened an investment seminar in the metropolitan area; mentioned as the target of their country was to achieve the development of their supporting industries; it appealed for the coming of Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises that manufactures parts etc.
This seminar was an event of the Donai prefecture government located in southern Vietnam, this prefecture held it for the first time in seven years. The People Committee, being the top organization of the prefecture, had its chairperson acting as the head of the team and the person responsible for welcoming the enterprises; the team had 38 people.
At the seminar, committee chairman Din Kuokku Tai said "we are evaluating and welcoming the supporting industry which can manufacture parts", and appealed for investment by Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises.
With the lowest wage level in Southeast Asia, Vietnam called for investment; although economic development had continued, their supporting industry that supply parts to factories did not grow, they had to depend on imports. As such the chronic trade deficit had been a subject.
For this reason, in Vietnam the development of supporting industry was mentioned as a national goal since last year. The different prefecture governments were extending attraction to Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises; and the representatives of four prefectures were visiting Japan successively at least this month.
On the other hand, the concern of Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises to expand outwards was strong due to the influence of the strong yen etc. On the 10th 250 people, exceeding the capacity, had participated. They listened attentively to the explanation on the preferential treatment in tax etc. which the prefecture government was now reviewing.
One of the managers of the small and medium-sized enterprises which had participated said that " comparing with major companies, I think that it is late for going overseas. I would like to use it as a good opportunity."


As Japan increases its overseas investment, the trade ties between Japan and Vietnam would increase gradually.
