Meeting General Director of Samsung Vietnam Choi Joo Ho, PM Chinh said the group’s fruitful cooperation and investment is a model of the economic ties between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea. He suggested Samsung engage more deeply in digital economy transformation, green economy, and knowledge-based economy in Vietnam, especially newly-emerging sectors like semiconductors, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and innovation.
Choi said Samsung Vietnam has six manufacturing plants, one research and development center, and one sales entity, with a cumulative investment of 22.4 billion USD. It has committed to a new investment project worth 1.8 billion USD in Bac Ninh province.
During his meeting with Gary Tseng, CEO of Taiwan's Phu My Hung Holdings Group, PM Chinh asked the Group, along with developing modern and civilized urban areas, to invest in affordable residential projects but with high infrastructure and service quality. He encouraged the group to provide more social infrastructure and consider deeper involvement in developing cultural, healthcare, and educational infrastructure in Vietnam.
Meeting with Nakagawa Tetsuyuki, General Director of AEON Mall Vietnam Co. Ltd., the Prime Minister said the Vietnamese Government supports AEON's business, especially in new localities, because this is also a driving force for Vietnam's growth that the Government is highly encouraging.
