Meeting Choi Joo Ho, General Director of Samsung Vietnam, PM Chinh said the group’s fruitful cooperation and investment is a model of economic ties between Vietnam and the Republic of Korea. He urged Samsung to engage more deeply in digital economy transformation, the green economy, and the knowledge-based economy in Vietnam, especially in newly-emerging sectors like semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.
Mr. Choi said Samsung Vietnam has six manufacturing plants, one research and development center, and one sales entity, with a total 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 Phu My Hung Holdings Group, PM Chinh asked the firm to invest in affordable residential projects with good infrastructure and services, and encouraged it to consider deeper involvement in developing cultural, healthcare, and educational infrastructure in Vietnam.
Meeting with Nakagawa Tetsuyuki, General Director of AEON Mall Vietnam, 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.
