Such investment has so far created over 7,000 jobs and contributes approximately 30 million USD to the state budget annually, he elaborated.

Covering 9.2ha, the ongoing electronic circuits production project in Hoa Binh is set to also work on handling pollution, collecting and treating wastewater, emission gas, and solid waste, and recycling and reusing waste materials. It is approved to operate foru 50 years.

The estimated number of workers to be employed is around 3,000 by 2030. The projected contribution to the state budget will be approximately 200 billion VND (8.5 million USD) per year when the factory reaches its full production capacity in 2030.

Meiko said it hopes to continue receiving support from the Hoa Binh authorities to successfully implement the project.

Chu Van Thang, head of the management board of the provincial industrial zones, stated that the project is significant as it promotes economic restructuring, addresses employment issues, contributes to the state budget, and increases export value.
