During a reception for Samsung group’s President and CEO Shin Jong Kyun in Hanoi on May 4, the PM noted that Samsung is the biggest single foreign investor in Vietnam with six projects valued at 14.86 billion USD.

He said Samsung’s substantial and long-term investments in Vietnam are evidence of the Southeast Asian country’s attractiveness to foreign investors.
“The Vietnamese government will create favourable conditions for Samsung’s investment and business activities so that the group will reap more success,” he said.
PM Phuc took the occasion to ask Samsung group to assist with training and technology transfer to Vietnamese enterprises operating in the support industry, thus giving chances to those enterprises, particularly small- and medium-sized ones to become suppliers of materials and parts for the group’s projects.
