He emphasized that, following over a decade of successful operations in Vietnam, Warburg Pincus wishes to continue its long-term investments to bring positive changes to the country.

Perlman highlighted the success of the Group’s projects in Vietnam, including the Ho Tram project in Ba Ria – Vung Tau and the Metropole Hotel project in Hanoi, which he said have become symbols of successful cooperation between the two countries and of foreign investment in Vietnam, helping attract more potential investors.
