Addressing the inauguration ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai welcomed the Doosan group’s investment in a modern mechanical engineering plant in Quang Ngai, where Vietnam’s first oil refinery is being built.

He also praised the company’s efforts in pouring its investment into the plant during the global economic recession.

For his part, the RoK ambassador to Vietnam, Im Hong Jae, said that the project will help to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

The plant, which was located on a 100 hectare-site, began construction 27 months ago with a total investment of US$300 million. It has recruited and provided training for 1,700 local people.
