PetroVietnam welcomes new leader

Addressing the ceremony, Deputy PM Hoang Trung Hai expressed hope that Son will work closely together with the group’s leadership to develop PVN into a powerful, highly competitive economic group in the world.

He asked PVN’s leadership and staff to focus on technological and human resource research and development to surmount difficulties and seize opportunities to move the company forward.

PVN Chairman Son vowed to work hard to develop the company steadily. He said PVN’s primary tasks are to tackle pending issues in a number of its affiliates, speed up economic restructuring, and concentrate on energy development projects.

Born in Ha Tinh province in 1962, Son graduated from the US University of South Carolina, majoring in business administration. He has worked for the oil and gas sector for almost 30 years.
