PM hosts CFO of Samsung Group and Russian Minister of Internal Affairs

Meeting with Chief Financial Officer of Samsung Group Park Hark Kyu, the Vietnamese cabinet leader congratulated Samsung Vietnam on its business results during the past  nine months of this year with revenue of over US$48 billion and export turnover of nearly US$42 billion, making a consideratble contribution to Vietnam's trade value.

He said Samsung Group's projects in Vietnam have been carried out swiftly, helping to transform Vietnam’s economic structure, boost exports, develop the supporting industry, generate jobs and contributing to Vietnam's economic development. He also welcomed Samsung's investment in research, development and human resources training in the country.

With the spirit of "harmonising interests and sharing risks", PM Chinh said Vietnam places importance  on improving its business environment and pledges to protect legal and legitimate interests as well as creating favourable conditions for foreign enterprises, including Korean companies and Samsung, to operate stably, efficiently and in a long term in Vietnam.

He said the Vietnamese Government is actively considering ways to work with Samsung to remove any obstacles in accordance with regulations.

Chinh suggested that the group continue expanding its investment in high technology, electronics, semiconductors, as well as digital transformation, green growth, and circular economy, contributing to quality human resources training in Vietnam.

He wished that Samsung would continue regarding as Vietnam a strategic production base, a hub of research, development and production of key products for international markets.

The Samsung CFO applauded Vietnam's socio-economic development amidst the complicated global situation.

He said Samsung Vietnam strives to rake in US$57 billion from exports this year, and promised that he and Samsung will continue accompanying Vietnam in its development.

Receiving Russian Minister of Internal Affairs General Kolokoltsev Vladimir Alexandrovich the same day, the Vietnamese Government chief said Vietnam always attaches importance to the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia, and considers Russia one of its top priority partners.

Vietnam desires to continue practical and effective cooperation with Russia across a variety of fields for mutual benefits of the two peoples, and for peace, stability and development in the region and the world, Chinh told his guest.

He affirmed that the Vietnamese people always bear in mind the wholehearted support provided by Russian people for Vietnam in its past struggles for national liberation and reunification and in the current national construction and development.

Chinh briefed the Russian official on Vietnam's foreign policy and "four nos” defence policy, proposing that in the coming time, the two nations should strengthen the exchange of all-level delegations, effectively deploy existing cooperation mechanisms, and discuss and remove bottlenecks in cooperation in the spirit of harmonising interests and sharing difficulties as a way of further expanding cooperation in the near future.

Host and guest noted with their pleasure that political and diplomatic relations between the two countries have been intensified with high trust, and that economic and trade cooperation plays an important role in bilateral relations, but trade exchange remains modest.

Oil, gas and energy cooperation between Vietnam and Russia has obtained positive results. The two countries officially resumed direct flights between Hanoi and Irkutsk and are considering specific plans to soon reopen direct flights connecting their capital cities. The Russian side always facilitates and ensures security for the Vietnamese community to live, do business and study stably in Russia.

The Russian minister affirmed that Vietnam is always a priority in his nation’s foreign policy, and Russia wishes to continue to further deepen the Russia-Vietnam comprehensive strategic partnership, especially in politics, economics, trade, people-to-people exchanges, tourism, experience sharing and training human resources.

He informed PM Chinh about the results of his talks with Vietnamese Minister of Public Security, General To Lam, saying that the two sides consented to intensify the exchange of delegations at all levels, and enhance cooperation and exchange of experience in crime prevention and control. The two sides will consider the possibility of establishing a coordination mechanism in protecting citizens of the two countries, and support each other at multilateral forums, he said.

The Vietnamese Government leader hailed the outcomes of the talks, asking the Russian side to issue e-visas to Vietnamese citizens; and resolve legal issues and create favourable conditions for Vietnamese citizens to live, study and do business in Russia.

He also suggested the two countries foster partnership in energy, education - training, science - technology, cyber security, and digital transformation.
