The Deputy PM praised TCL’s business performance globally and in Vietnam, affirming that the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership between Vietnam and China has been developing strongly across all fields. Economic, trade, and investment cooperation continues to be an important pillar of the two countries’ relations.
To strengthen human resources training for TCL’s projects in Vietnam, Dung suggested that the group work closely with the Ministry of Education and Training and the People’s Committees of relevant localities to connect with universities, vocational institutions, and Vietnamese enterprises to implement training programs for its current and future projects.
He also encouraged TCL to transfer suitable technologies and production processes to qualified Vietnamese partners, thereby fostering closer linkages and mutual support between TCL and local enterprises.
The Vietnamese Government is committed to creating favorable conditions for foreign investors, including those from China, to conduct efficient and sustainable business and investment activities in Vietnam, the official noted.
