Over the past six years, the CJ Group has granted more than 600 scholarships to needy school and university students in the province to help them cover their tuition and living expenses.

The group said it will expand the scope of scholarships to students in other provinces and areas where it is doing business.

During a meeting with National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan in the RoK early this month, leaders of the CJ Group emphasized the importance of community service and committed to volunteer activities for the Vietnamese people.

Since the establishment of a representative office in Ho Chi Minh City in 1998, the CJ Group has expanded to more than 17 business lines including food and food ingredients, animal feed production and animal husbandry, breeding animals and entertainment. To date, the group has invested about USD 880 million in the Vietnamese market.
