This is the highest growth rate of Viettel Group over the past four years.
In particular, in the first six months of this year, Viettel Group completed all major business targets. Its revenue increased by 6.6 percent and its profit was up 21.7 percent.
Attentively, the group achieved these positive results in the context that the socio-economic situation continued to be affected by the pandemic, the global supply chain was broken due to international conflicts, and uncertainties in several foreign markets where Viettel is operating.
