GLASGOW — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính along with many foreign investors and business executives attended a forum on the prospects of business and sustainable development in Việt Nam held on the sidelines of 26th United Nations’ Conference of Parties (COP26).
The dialogue, themed prosperous and sustainable future through private sector investment, was held by Standard Chartered Bank, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, and the Vietnamese embassy in the UK.
Under the chair of Jose Vinals, Chairman of Standard Chartered Bank, the conference drew the participation of more than 300 senior leaders of businesses and foreign investors who are customers of Standard Chartered and businesses that are members of the British Chamber of Commerce in Việt Nam (Britcham).
At the meeting, PM Chính discussed in detail the major policies of Việt Nam, the prospects of doing business and investing in Việt Nam, Việt Nam’s goals at COP26 and sustainable development objectives it sets sight out as well as the opportunities and challenges Việt Nam is facing in the context of global shift in supply chains.
The Prime Minister emphasised that Việt Nam was steadfast in its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation; proactive and active integration into the world in a comprehensive and profound manner, and that the country wanted to be a friend, a reliable partner and an active and responsible member of the international community.
Việt Nam was currently focusing on restructuring the economy, with a focus on restructuring investment (public investment, promotion of public-private partnership, etc.), restructuring the banking system towards increasing the scale and quality, and national restructuring the country’s growth model towards sustainable development and green growth.
The Vietnamese Government leader held firm that peace, cooperation, sustainable development and green growth are global issues that affect all people, so a global and all-people approach is needed to address them.
On climate change, "Việt Nam is one of the countries most heavily affected due to its geographical location and natural conditions," PM Chính stressed.
Việt Nam started out as a poor country, experienced consecutive wars and then a prolonged economic embargo, and was still suffering from many socio-economic difficulties. Therefore, the PM called for fairness and justice in climate change response, developing green economy, and sustainable growth.
Việt Nam’s efforts at green development would require support in climate technology and green finance from developed countries, he underlined.
The country could make strong commitments on emission targets, especially methane gas, he noted.
Chính said in the first months of 2021, Việt Nam still managed to keep its macroeconomy stable, ensuring balances in state budget revenues and expenditure, export-import, energy, and food.
The PM said that another opportunity of Việt Nam was the human factor.
Many investors in Việt Nam believe that the people are the decisive factor in attracting investment.
“Việt Nam sees people as both the actor, the centre, the goal and the driving force of development, and would not sacrifice social progress and justice in pursuit of unabated economic growth," he said.
He stressed that "the more difficulties Vietnamese people face, the more they unite and strive to overcome all problems and move forward".
"We are never confused or afraid of any enemies or difficulties, but naturally, we seek the support and help of international partners in the current integration trend," he said, reiterating how Việt Nam has shifted from a place of poverty with an average GDP per capita less than US$100, to its current $3,500 level after 35 years of đổi mới (renewal).

He proposed a number of cooperation initiatives, including ways for Việt Nam to participate more deeply in the fields of insurance, commerce, services and retail; measures on promoting foreign direct investment attraction; contributing to sustainable growth and respond to climate change through multi-billion dollar cooperation agreements and technology support with Vietnamese partner.
PM Chính appreciated various cooperation initiatives that the bank had made in Việt Nam, especially in green development.
He noted that previously when renewable, clean energy was not developed enough, Việt Nam had to go with coal power to boost the economy as a developing nation, so the country’s transition to clean energy now would need a lot of help from developed nations.
PM Chính said that Việt Nam was currently focusing on restructuring the economy, including encouraging foreign banks to participate in restructuring banks that are weak in human resources, capital resources and management capacity.
Việt Nam was also continuing to improve the investment and business environment, including promoting digital transformation in the banking system to attract more foreign investment.
VIệt Nam also needed cooperation in the field of insurance and construction of large financial centres, he suggested to the Standard Chartered Bank leader. — VNS

Nikkei: Samsung Electronics' new ambitions in home appliances and affirms its plan for 'mother factory' in Vietnam​

01-11-2021 - 06:35 AM | Kinh tế vĩ mô - Đầu tư

"Vietnam is a 'mother factory', we continue to grow there and have no plans to downsize production," said Samsung Electronics CEO and President Kim Hyun-suk.​

Samsung Electronics executives say that every future home will have a robot that runs around the kitchen, prepares dinner, knows what to cook based on user preferences, and is aware of any risks. any health risk of the employer.

It sounds far-fetched, but Samsung predicts it will soon become a reality.

Kim Hyun-suk, CEO and President of Consumer Electronics, who oversees AI research and development, said in an interview with Nikkei that the group plans to manufacture electrical devices. smart home electronics, creating a service that connects diverse products, from smartphones and TVs to home appliances.

Mr. Kim said: "Around 25% to 30% of the world's population uses Samsung products every day, and this presents us with a great opportunity. Connecting products will allow the company to provide delivering exceptional experiences [to customers] in a completely different field from Apple."

Last year, Samsung Electronics posted sales of 48.17 trillion KRW ($41.3 billion) with the world's leading TV market share.

For example, with advanced connectivity, Samsung TVs can display a fitness program and built-in sensors will track the user's movements, working with wearables to track vital health metrics. their. Then, an AI-powered system will use the big data to recommend a most suitable exercise program.

The service will go even further, suggesting a recipe for a healthy meal based on what the AI detects in the fridge.

At CES 2021 in the US, one of the world's leading technology exhibitions, Samsung presented a vision of a robot-assisted home. They launched a robot that performs household chores such as controlling dishwashers and washing-dryers that automatically set the time to wash clothes. The company predicts that, with advancements in image recognition technology and control chips, robots will soon become part of families.

"Personalization and automation will be achieved at the same time thanks to AI," Kim said, pointing out that devices will even perform tasks one step ahead of users, based on their preferences. .

"Today, instead of letting viewers scroll through channels, TVs choose the programs they want. This technological advancement will spread to other electronic devices," Kim added.


This year, Samsung established a division that promotes multi-device experiences, where the leaders of the smartphone, TV, and home appliances industries work together to drive connectivity. between products, seeking to develop new services quickly through close collaboration.

With Chinese rivals making strides, Samsung is under pressure to reach the future as soon as possible.

"Chinese companies are completely superior in hardware and we can't beat them with specs alone," Kim admitted. But Samsung is tapping into its strengths in offering a wide range of products, and Kim said Samsung can provide new experiences by connecting a wide range of products.

Samsung is focusing on experience and generational differences between older and younger customers. "Compared to consumers aged 40 and over, those belonging to 'Gen MZ' (the Korean term for people in their 20s and 30s) are less loyal to brands," he said. "They make decisions based on whether they can get a new experience."

"Young people also regularly share content on platforms like Netflix and Instagram. Differences between people in different countries and regions are narrowing, their consumption preferences are quite similar to those of each other," Kim said. "This is why it is essential to develop products and services aimed primarily at these young people over the next five to 10 years."

Like other manufacturers, Samsung's supply chain has been hit hard by challenges such as the pandemic and global chip shortages. Factories producing smartphones, electronics and home screens in Vietnam are still limited because of Covid-19. However, Mr. Kim pointed out that Samsung is very committed to Vietnam.

"Vietnam is a 'mother factory', we continue to develop there and have no plans to downsize production," - Director Kim Hyun-suk confirmed.

*Mother factory" is a term widely used in industry in Japan.Every year, more and more articles referring to "mother factory" appear in the Japanese mass media. Furthermore, academic research, especially in the field of international business, also uses this term.

However, the term has never been clearly defined and is used in many ways. For example, articles in the Japanese mass media have described different ways of "mother factory", some of the common interpretations are:

- A factory acts as a parent company to develop production technology and human resources and strengthen the function of guiding and controlling overseas factories.

- A factory engaged in product development or product prototyping, creating prototypes of new products and leading other mass production plants to develop the latest production technologies.

- A factory develops new technologies and transfers them abroad.

- Meaning varied, it can be used differently in Japanese mass media, academic research and non-academic research in Japan.

Nikkei: Tham vọng mới trong mảng điện gia dụng của Samsung Electronics và khẳng định kế hoạch cho 'mother factory' Việt Nam

"Việt Nam là 'mother factory', chúng tôi tiếp tục phát triển ở đó và không có kế hoạch thu hẹp quy mô sản xuất" - Giám đốc điều hành kiêm Chủ tịch mảng điện tử tiêu dùng Samsung Electronics Kim Hyun-suk khẳng định trong cuộc phỏng vấn với Nikkei.

Japanese newspaper: Vietnam leads the race to restore supply chains in Southeast Asia, the auto industry "breathes a sigh of relief"

In the context of the decreasing number of Covid-19 cases in Vietnam, companies producing essential electrical and electronic components for the auto industry are also making a strong comeback, global manufacturers such as burden is relieved.

As Covid-19 cases plummet across Southeast Asia, supply chains in the region are racing to recover to full capacity, after months of shutdowns and shutdowns, Nikkei Asia reports. capacity reduction.

Vietnam in particular, is quickly returning to normal, after easing restrictive measures. About 200 domestic factories contracted to produce sportswear for Nike have resumed operations, according to local media reports.

An industrial park in Ho Chi Minh City, home to factories operated by Samsung Electronics and Intel, will "support so that factories of both companies can resume operations this month", an executive said. industrial park operator said.

Starting from July, factories in the South of Vietnam had to implement strict restrictive measures to prevent disease. Obstacles due to the epidemic have caused a series of factories to shut down and cut output.

In the context of the decreasing number of Covid-19 cases in Vietnam, companies producing essential electrical and electronic components for the auto industry are also making a strong comeback, global manufacturers such as burden is relieved.

Japan's Furukawa Electric, is expected to return to full capacity at its factories in Vietnam. The company's 3 factories here produce wires for cars, and the facility in Ho Chi Minh City has about 8,000 workers.

"Factory lines are back at a level that can meet customer requirements," Furukawa Electric President Keiichi Kobayashi told Nikkei Asia.

The impact of restrictions to combat the Covid-19 epidemic has been particularly damaging to Southeast Asia's auto industry. Vietnam has many conductor factories, while Malaysia is a center for manufacturing semiconductors for cars.


Both divisions suffered from supply shortages - the main reason why Toyota Motor and seven other Japanese automakers were forced to cut production by half in September compared with the same period a year ago.

Vietnam was the source of about 40% of Japan's conductor imports last year. Japanese suppliers such as Yazaki and Sumitomo Electric Industries are also restoring production at their Vietnamese factories. This trend is expected to support a comeback in the Japanese auto sector.

In Malaysia, more than 90% of adults are fully vaccinated, bringing new life to the factory operations.

"Although 99% of Unisem's factory workers are vaccinated, all of them are tested for Covid-19 on a weekly basis," said John Chia, head of Malaysia's Semiconductor Assembly and Tester Unisem. Globally, the company can't keep up with semiconductor orders and is building a third factory in Chengdu, China."

Malaysia responded to the surge of Covid-19 with nationwide social distancing in June. Unisem was ordered to temporarily close its Ipoh factory in September. That, along with the shutdown. factory activity at STMicroelectronics, has impacted the semiconductor supply crisis, which has in turn led to production cuts at major automakers.

Jean-Marc Chery, CEO of Geneva-based STMicroelectronics, said: "Our factory has gone through a period of partial or complete closure, with the ability to return to 100% of capacity. production in the third quarter".

VinFast's President revealed a plan to invest 5-6 billion USD in the US
11/19-2021

In an interview with Bloomberg, Ms. Le Thi Thu Thuy, President of VinFast, revealed an investment plan of up to 6 billion USD for the first phase in the US, after the launch of two models VF e35 and VF e36 at the exhibition. Los Angeles car.

Entering the US and Canadian markets is a bold move. What makes you think VinFast will achieve this goal?

President Le Thi Thu Thuy: First of all, we planned this 4 years ago. Since we had the idea to start a car company, we believed we could succeed in America. Like other markets, like Vietnam, we prioritize focusing on the quality of our products.

We showed two SUV models VF e35 and VF e36 at the Los Angeles auto show. These are good quality cars with a warranty period of up to 10 years. Second, our electric vehicle prices are also very competitive in today's market.

So can you reveal the price of VinFast electric cars?

President Le Thi Thu Thuy: We are still trying our best to research to come up with the most reasonable price. The price will be very competitive compared to internal combustion vehicles and this will motivate consumers to switch from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles easily. As everyone knows, not everyone can afford to buy an electric car for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

You're talking about Tesla, right?

President Le Thi Thu Thuy: And other electric car companies too. I mean electric car lovers will be attracted to electric car products. However, the majority of mass-market buyers are less able to pay, and we target these audiences. And we don't want to compete with any electric vehicle manufacturers, we just want to take market share from the internal combustion engine car segment. Anyway, that is the general trend in the world today.

As I know in my hometown of Vietnam, VinFast is a key player in the electric vehicle segment. How much market share will VinFast aim to hold in markets like the US and Canada?

President Le Thi Thu Thuy: We spent 2 years researching the domestic market with 3 models. And the car models are holding the leading position in Vietnam. We also want to go global by 2022. In the US, even if we can get 0.5% market share, 1% or 2% in the future, this is already a lot.

So is VinFast also planning to open a factory in the US? So where and when will VinFast build the factory?

Chairwoman Le Thi Thu Thuy: Currently, we have narrowed our scope from more than 50 locations to 5-6 locations. We are still in the process of reviewing locations and may make an announcement early next year. As expected, we will open the production complex in the US in the second half of 2024.

So how will VinFast invest?

Chairwoman Le Thi Thu Thuy: We are considering to invest about 5-6 billion USD in the first phase and in the first two years we will spend about 1.5-2 billion USD for a car factory, a gigafactory. (super-factory) for the production of battery cells and vehicle batteries, as well as an electric bus factory.

Before that, there was also a lot of information about the plan to list in the US. So where did that plan go?

Chairwoman Le Thi Thu Thuy: We plan to list in the US, maybe this will happen in the next 1-2 years. We are still researching and implementing this goal. The sooner the better, of course. But I think it depends on many other factors, such as waiting to launch electric cars in Vietnam first or VinFast receiving pre-orders for about 25,000 cars that we need to deliver this year and early next year.

We are working on a portfolio of a wide range of cars, along with two VinFasts on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show. These vehicles will be offered for sale in the US and will be available for pre-order in the first half of 2022 and delivery in the second half of 2022.

So why isn't now the time for an IPO when the euphoria about electric car stocks is huge? For example, Rivian had a huge IPO recently.

Chairwoman Le Thi Thu Thuy: This can happen. I think the possibility of an IPO depends a lot on the market. Rivian had a great IPO. But I see that the market is looking for more players and more possibilities to perform in the electric vehicle sector. And I think we already have a good opportunity in the future.
So what about the plan in Vietnam's hometown, VinFast will build a battery factory in Vietnam, right?

President Le Thi Thu Thuy: 1 month ago, we announced that we would build a factory to manufacture battery cells and battery packs in Vietnam. VinFast is also establishing the most self-driving features, smart features and connectivity, and also a test facility.

Currently, VinFast is in the process of researching and testing many of its products. Besides, we will also focus on developing new features such as self-driving, other intelligent services.
