The conference was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Ho Quoc Dung, leaders of ministries and central agencies, Ca Mau officials and domestic and foreign investors.
Speaking at the event, Chairman of the Ca Mau People's Committee Lu Quang Ngoi said that the province is entering a new development phase as several major national infrastructure projects are being implemented, including the Can Tho-Ca Mau Expressway, Ca Mau-Dat Mui Expressway, a road linking the mainland with Hon Khoai Island, Hon Khoai dual-use general port, and the expansion of Ca Mau Airport.
These projects are expected to strengthen Ca Mau's connections with major economic centers in the region and across the country.
Ca Mau is seeking investors with strong capabilities, long-term strategies, advanced technology and modern management, with priority given to high-value projects that create production chains, expand markets, generate jobs and benefit local communities.

He also called on the province to make effective use of its potential and advantages, develop key economic sectors, create new growth drivers, improve the investment and business environment, and promote the private sector.
The Deputy Prime Minister called on Ca Mau to effectively implement its investment commitments and pursue rapid, sustainable development that harmonizes economic growth with social and environmental goals, while ensuring national defense and security and improving living standards.
