With the commitment to doing sustainable business, we go hand in hand with Vietnam during these hard times to overcome the pandemic.”

“Since the outbreak of the pandemic, Vietnam has always been among the few countries successfully containing the pandemic. Considering the open immunization strategy for the people, the decisive leadership of the government, and the solidarity and unity of the people and businesses, I believe that Vietnam will contain the spread of the pandemic and continue its high economic recovery momentum,” he added.
