S.Korea’s Samsung to expand trade, investment in Vietnam: CEO

South Korean conglomerate Samsung Electronics will make a business and investment expansion in
Vietnam, with a target of US$69 billion worth of exports and an additional investment of US$3.3
billion this year, among other activities, the group’s leader has said.

Samsung CEO Roh Tae Moon told Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh about the giant’s
expansion of operations in Vietnam at their meeting on Friday, as part of his ongoing working visit
in the Southeast Asian country. Specifically, Samsung will manufacture semiconductor products at
its Samsung Electro-Mechanics Vietnam, located in northern Thai Nguyen Province, in July 2023,
the CEO said.

The group will also inaugurate its research and development (R&D) center in Hanoi late this year or
early next year to serve not only Vietnam but other Southeast Asian countries as well.
In addition, Samsung plans to assist 50 Vietnamese enterprises in improving their competitiveness
under a smart factory model, while promoting its cooperation with Vietnamese universities and
research institutions.

CEO Roh highly appreciated Vietnam’s efforts and achievements in the COVID-19 fight as well as
in its economic recovery and development from the pandemic. He thanked the Vietnamese
government for helping Samsung overcome the pandemic-caused difficulties and for creating a
favorable environment for the group’s operations in the current context of a changing world. He
suggested that Vietnam should improve the quality of human resources through training to meet the
needs of enterprises and investors.

PM Chinh suggested that Samsung expand investment in manufacturing semiconductors, one of the
groups’ three strengths in Vietnam, besides its current effective production lines for mobile devices
and consumer electronics products. He also urged the group to accelerate the construction of the R&D
center in Hanoi so that it can be complete by the end of the year.

With a cooperation spirit based on “sincerity, trust and efficiency” and on the principle of
“harmonious benefits, shared risks,” the Vietnamese government is committed to creating favorable
conditions and improving the investment environment for foreign investors in general and Samsung
in particular, PM Chinh said. He suggested Samsung continue giving feedback on Vietnam’s relevant
policies and mechanisms, adding that the Vietnamese government will deal with the group’s
recommendations.

Chinh also asked Samsung to play as a bridge to bring more investors from South Korea as well as
from other countries to Vietnam. In the first half of this year, Samsung Vietnam gained $34.3 billion
from exports, up about 18 percent on year, and aims to earn a total turnover of $69 billion for the
whole year, Roh said.

The group will also inject $3.3 billion to its business in Vietnam, the CEO said. Currently, South
Korea is Vietnam’s third largest trading partner after China and the U.S., and the largest foreign
investor in Vietnam with 9,383 operating projects worth nearly $80 billion. Last year the two-way
trade between the two countries amounted to $78.1 billion, up 18.33 percent from 2020, and
accounting for 11.6 percent of Vietnam’s total trade value, according to official figures. Samsung
currently has eight facilities in Vietnam, including six manufacturing plants, one R&D center, and
one sales entity.

Vietnamese open to learning digital skills: survey

Vietnamese are willing to learn new digital skills in the coming years, new research said.

Digital skills are broadly defined as the skills needed to “use digital devices, communication
applications, and networks to access and manage information,” from basic online searching and
emailing to specialist programming and development.

A report commissioned by VMware and conducted by Deloitte titled “Digital Smart:

Advancing digital government for citizens in the Asia-Pacific" found that 85 percent of respondents
in Viet Nam are willing to learn new digital skills or use a new platform and 80 percent expect to
access government services at the same rate or more frequently in the next five years.
The study found that the use of in-person government services halved across APAC nations
in the last two years, and 77 per cent of citizens now primarily use a digital platform to access

 lOMoARcPSD|18795517

government services. However, 67 percent of respondents expected the quality of government

services to be on par with those offered by the private sector, with 41 percent of people struggling to
access digital services on their own given a lack of basic digital skills and shortfalls in digital
infrastructure.

With 900 million new internet users expected to be added to the region that includes Australia,
Singapore, Indonesia, Viet Nam, India, Japan, and South Korea by 2025, the need for investment in
digital services by governments continues to grow.

Sylvain Cazard, senior vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific and Japan, VMware
said: “It’s clear from the Deloitte research that citizens expect the same level of services – and quality
– as those delivered by private companies or organizations. Service delivery in terms of multi-cloud
infrastructure as well as modern containerized applications and services are the way forward, so
governments also need to align thinking and resourcing along these major trends to meet their
citizens’ needs.”

This report brings together the latest trends of digital government services across Asia-Pacific,
including citizen experience in digital government and their expectations of how governments should
deliver their digital services in the future. To develop this report, Deloitte surveyed 3,840 citizens
across seven markets in Asia-Pacific in March and April 2022.

Vietnam monitors arrivals from countries with monkeypox

The Ministry of Health has asked localities nationwide to monitor foreign arrivals from countries
with monkeypox as an early response after infections were spotted in the region.

The Ministry of Health has asked localities nationwide to monitor foreign arrivals from countries
with monkeypox as an early response after infections were spotted in the region. Thailand, Singapore,
the Republic of Korea, China and Japan are some of the countries where monkeypox has been
detected. Per the latest decision, foreign arrivals from countries with monkeypox will have their body
temperatures checked and be subject to other monitoring measures. Those suspected to be infected
with the condition will be isolated and have their biological samples taken for testing.

The ministry is yet to issue specific instructions on how foreign entrants from countries with
monkeypox should be monitored, or when exactly these measures are to be applied. Vietnam has not
recorded any monkeypox cases so far. Last week, Ho Chi Minh City proposed that foreign arrivals
are asked to complete medical declarations at the border as one of the anti-monkeypox measures.
Besides screening measures at the border, the ministry has also requested monitoring at different
health facilities and added vigilance at certain events in the community.

As of July 30, the World Health Organisation (WHO) had recorded over 21,000 monkeypox cases in
78 countries and territories. Seven people have died. Typical symptoms of the disease include fever,
headache, muscle pain, skin lesions and rashes. It is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids or
lesion material. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should coordinate
with the health sector and agencies to prevent infection from wild animals. The Ministry of
Information and Communications, Vietnam Television, Radio The Voice of Vietnam, Vietnam News
Agency (VNA), Nhan dan (People) newspaper and other press agencies are resquested to coordinate
closely with the health ministry.

The Ministry of Finance needs to ensure funding for monkeypox prevention and control, the leader
said, asking relevant associations and organisations to coordinate with all-level authorities to

encourage people to join activities to prevent the disease in line with guidelines issued by the health
ministry.
