Mr. Tran Si Chuong, Chairman of the Board of Chan May LNG Company, said that this project was particularly interested in the US media (including The New York Times, Bloomberg ...) because it has received the pledge to provide all capital and loans from major investors from the US, the IFC's financial investment division of World Bank, and US government agencies that are responsible for supporting US citizens and businesses to invest abroad.
The investors have been ready to cooperate with the world's leading partners from the United States and Japan in the fields of engineering, technology, environmental management, construction, operation, etc... Right after the project being approved by the Government, they will immediately deploy the project. Thua Thien Hue Province is working closely with the investors to bring the project into reality soon, in 2024 as expected.
