Its Dung Quat economic zone has sofar licensed 165 investment projects with a combined capital of about VND11 billion ($666,000).
Fifty of the projects are expected to become operational by December, providing jobs for 11,500 workers.
The top law maker gave especial praise to the success, especially in maintaining people’s living conditions, in light of raging world inflation.

The local administration also asked for central Government support for a road construction project around the Dung Quat-Sa Huynh coastline.
