The minister also welcomed Yamato's planned cooperation with FPT Corporation to establish an artificial intelligence (AI) laboratory in Vietnam to research and apply AI and big data in supply chain management, transport coordination and the development of specialized logistics services for high-tech industries, particularly the semiconductor sector, which Vietnam has identified as a strategic priority.

Highlighting Vietnam's population of 100 million and one of the world's fastest-growing e-commerce markets, which provide enormous potential for the logistics industry, Quang encouraged Yamato to further expand its investment by developing large-scale logistics centers, financial hubs and modern logistics infrastructure in Vietnam's key economic regions.

He also suggested that the company give priority to recruiting disciplined and highly skilled Vietnamese workers for positions across its global operations.

The minister affirmed that the Ministry of Public Security will continue to support Yamato by ensuring a transparent and favorable investment environment and creating the conditions necessary for the company to operate safely, efficiently and in full compliance with Vietnamese law.

Expressing his appreciation for the meeting, Nagao Yutaka said he is impressed by Vietnam's development potential and affirmed that the company would continue to study and implement major cooperation projects, contributing to stronger bilateral ties between Vietnam and Japan.
