On behalf of the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Chairman of ASEAN 2010, I warmly welcome you all to the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit 2010 (ASEAN-BIS) organized by the ASEAN Business Advisory Council and Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I appreciate and value the remarks of ASEAN General Secretary, Mr. Vu Tien Loc, Mr. Doan Duy Khuong and Ms. Dang Thi Hoang Yen.

ASEAN BIS 2011 which will be held in Indonesia, will continue to build on the achievements attained by this ASEAN BIS 2010, so that it will further strengthen the integration of the region and fulfill ASEAN as a unified community on the economic and political fronts, but also in the areas of security, defense and culture by 2015. Through these efforts, ASEAN region competitiveness will be further enhanced globally.

The world was going through a “Global Reset” and ASEAN managed through this economic storm very well. Even IMF latest estimates upgraded GDP of ASEAN region growth to 6.7%, an economic growth rate that many countries outside Asia will willingly trade places for.

Many newspapers ran headlines about her as: "The richest woman on Vietnam’s stock market", "Golden Rose ... billionaires," "Three billionaire siblings" ... In reality, all such titles are given to her as Ms. Yen never talks about herself. The story she shared with us is neither the way to get rich nor for the profits but the one I want to borrow the title of a famous novel of writer Nguyen Manh Tuan to talk about her: Woman ..."standing in front of the sea"!

With the desire of changing the conventional views of thermal power plants, Tan Tao Group is determined to develop Kien Luong Thermal Power Plant as a green, clean and beautiful symbol.

Kien Luong Thermal Power Complex Project, a national key project, has been attracting special public attention. Investment Newspaper’s reporter conducted an interview with Ms. Dang Thi Hoang Yen, Chairwoman of Tan Tao Group (ITACO) on the implementation of this project.

Shift to East, fast connectivity and the environment seen as the key issues

The "power hungry" situation in the Northern region this summer has been posing a pressing issue for prevention and resolution of such serious shortage in other regions. What measures need to be carried out? There's no easy answer to this question. Lately, the People's Army Newspaper’s reporter visited the project site to learn more about Kien Luong Thermal Power Complex Project (Kien Giang) invested by Tan Tao Group with persistent and bold efforts, opening a new path to solve the actual "power hungry" problem.

Kien Luong Coal-Fired Power Complex – KLPP is a large thermal power project with a total investment of about US$ 6 - 6.2 billion, and Tan Tao Group-ITACO has been approved by the Prime Minister for investment of this project with a total capacity of 4,400 MW (Official Letter No. 1385/TTg-KTN dated August 25, 2008). It will be built in the EPC mode and will be entirely located in 265 hectares offshore area in Ba Hon Hamlet, Kien Luong town, Kien Luong district, Kien Giang province, 20 km away from Ha Tien town. This is one of the national key projects in the Power Plan VI.
