Dung lauded the company’s large-scale investment in Vietnam, saying it has created jobs for hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese workers, bolstered exports and ensured trade balance between Vietnam and the RoK.
The Vietnamese Government wants Samsung and investors from the RoK to expand production and increase productivity and export value, bringing benefits to each country, he added.
He also affirmed that Vietnam and the RoK are enjoying sound strategic partnership relations, which are concretised through effective cooperation between enterprises from both sides.
The RoK is currently the second largest ODA provider of Vietnam and two-way trade as of November, 2017 was estimated at 56 billion USD, he said, noticing that Samsung has been the biggest investor in Vietnam for years.
Shim Won Hwan, for his part, highlighted that stable macro-economy is a positive sign for Vietnam and foreign investors as well.
He took the occasion to thank the Vietnamese Government, ministries and branches for addressing difficulties for his company to branch out operation in the Southeast Asian country.
There are 160,000 Vietnamese labourers working in Samsung plants and the company has carried out numerous policies to ensure social welfare in the country, he said.
