Hanoi (VNA) - The Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung signed off on a 2.2 trillion VND (97.6 million U🐎SD) investment package for infrastructure development of the Cam K👍he Industrial Park in northern Phu Tho province, reported baochinhphu.vn.
The Viglacera Corporation, the investor in the industrial park project, will help the park increase efficiency and facilitate its management and operation.

The project will occur in three phases, the first of which will complete developing 137ha by the fourth quarter of 2017. The second phase will add another 138.5ha by the first half of 2020. The third will quickly follow at the end of 2020.
The Prime Minister permitted the provincial people's committee to grant the licence to Viglacera and co-ordinate relevant agencies to assist in land clearance.
The Prime Minister asked the province and investor to attach special importance to devising job solutions for locals whose will be forced to move and for industrial workers in the area.
The Cam Khe industrial park is a multi-industry park utilising advanced technology and producing goods that qualify internationally.
The park will involve several industries: construction materials; electronics and high-end consumer goods; textile equipment; automotive; and agro-forestry machinery and processing.
