On August 28, in Hanoi, the leaders of Ca Mau province met and worked with the management of the T&T Group. The two parties discussed and exchanged ideas on investment research and trade promotion opportunities to boost the economic and social development of Ca Mau province.

After the merger of Bac Lieu province into Ca Mau according to Resolution 202/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly, Ca Mau now has an area of over 7,942 km2 with 64 communal-level administrative units and a population of approximately 2.6 million people.

This locality is positioned as the center of fisheries, energy, and eco-tourism in the Mekong Delta region, while also playing a strategic role in the country’s maritime and island development.

Ca Mau provincial leaders present gifts to T&T Group leaders at the meeting.

In the field of real estate, T&T Group proposed to research and invest in the Hon Khoai island area with the idea of developing a City Port model similar to Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Structurally, the City Port will include port-industrial-logistics areas, transition areas, urban development areas, and hinterlands. This is not just a city with a port, but a port that acts as the main driver of urban development.

In the area of Ca Mau airport, T&T Group proposed to research and invest in an airport city following the very successful model in Changi, Singapore. With the airport at its core, the surrounding areas will be planned to become vibrant economic, financial, commercial, tourism, and entertainment complexes, thereby creating a stronger development momentum for the southernmost region of the country.

In addition, the enterprise of businessman Do Quang Hien also proposed to research and invest in the industrial and logistics sector in Nam Can Economic Zone.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Deputy General Director of T&T Group, presents the group’s investment proposals.

Regarding transportation infrastructure, Ca Mau is making breakthroughs in planning. The most prominent are the vital expressways of Can Tho – Ca Mau, Ca Mau – Dat Mui, and the connecting road from Ca Mau Cape to Hon Khoai Island.

Once completed, these routes will contribute to promoting socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security, while also opening up new development space and facilitating trade, service development, and investment attraction.

Especially, the investment in key construction projects is also important in connecting the seaport at Hon Khoai, creating an international gateway and transforming the area into a key economic port cluster, thereby contributing to realizing the orientation of developing Hon Khoai into the “Southernmost Continent” of the country.

Current status and planning of road infrastructure in Ca Mau province.

In this specific field, T&T Group proposed to research and invest in the express road connecting Ca Mau city and the former Bac Lieu city in the form of a PPP.

The route is expected to connect directly with the national expressway system, thereby forming a coastal expressway for the entire Mekong Delta region.

T&T Group’s representative added that once completed, the road will create an important socio-economic development corridor, helping the locality to maximize the advantages of land funds and existing transport infrastructure, and contributing to the dynamic change in Ca Mau’s economic structure in the future.

In the field of energy and industry, thanks to its location with three sea-facing sides, Ca Mau is considered the energy center of the region. According to experts, the total electricity capacity that can be exploited in the southernmost region of the country is very large, as Ca Mau is currently leading the country in wind power, while the potential for developing other renewable energy sources such as solar power and biomass from agro-aquatic by-products is also high.

According to the adjusted Power Plan VIII approved in Decision 768/QD-TTg dated April 15, 2025, by 2030, the old Ca Mau province will plan to develop an additional 15 wind power projects and one solar power project. Of these, nine projects do not yet have investors. Meanwhile, in the old Bac Lieu province, 18 wind power projects and one solar power project are planned for development by 2030, of which 17 projects do not yet have investors.

Based on this reality, T&T Group has proposed to research and invest in the projects included in the adjusted Planning, while also recommending to accompany the locality in consulting on planning and conducting pre-feasibility studies on the potential for clean energy development. The goal is to make Ca Mau a leading “hub” for electricity export in the Mekong Delta and Vietnam.

T&T Group proposes to participate in renewable energy investment in Ca Mau.

In the field of urban planning, T&T proposed to develop a center for education, sports, and culture in the old Bac Lieu area based on the historical and cultural foundations of the region. In addition, T&T Group is also ready to support and orient the exploitation and management of the Provincial Sports Complex and to research the expansion of youth football training in the locality.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Do Quang Hien, Founder and Executive Chairman of T&T Group, stated that after the merger of administrative boundaries, Ca Mau has a very open development space, with many unique strengths in various fields.

The Executive Chairman of T&T Group emphasized that in addition to the projects currently being proposed for investment research, with the advantage of having extensive cooperation with international corporations and world-leading experts, T&T Group is ready to accompany Ca Mau in urban planning consulting, connecting traffic planning, investing in infrastructure and renewable energy, developing culture, sports, and tourism, as well as proposing new ideas to promote the local economy and society.

Mr. Lam Van Bi, Vice Chairman of Ca Mau Provincial People’s Committee, speaks at the meeting.

According to Mr. Lam Van Bi, Vice Chairman of Ca Mau Provincial People’s Committee, the cooperation between T&T Group and the locality has always been strong in many fields, from construction investment and planning to social security. This is evidenced by landmark projects such as the New Urban Area in Ward 5, Ward 1, Ca Mau City (now An Xuyen Ward, Ca Mau Province) and the social housing project with over 1,200 apartments, meeting the housing needs of nearly 5,000 residents, which was recently inaugurated on August 19.

In the context of the new Ca Mau province having a lot of potential and advantages, which are enough to exploit and implement large projects in the coming time, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee expressed his support and highly appreciated the strategic investment research proposals from the T&T Group.
