Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc lauded achievements obtained by the State-run Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group over the past years during a working session with its leaders in Hanoi on June 26.
Speaking at the session, PM Phuc hailed Viettel as an exemplary model of good governance and qualified workforce.
Viettel Chairman Major General Nguyen Manh Hung said with nearly 100 million subscribers, Viettel has become one of the world’s 15 largest telecom providers. The group has expanded its operations to telecom electronic industry, high-tech weapon industry and cyber security industry, he said.
Its telecom electronic and high-tech weapon industries have brought home 12 trillion VND (528.6 million USD) in revenue, he said, adding that Viettel also built a national firewall to screen spams and launched a round-the-clock cyber security surveillance system.
Hung said Viettel is striving to become a strong telecom corporation with an annual growth of 10-15 percent by 2020, earning 350-400 trillion VND (15.4-17.6 billion USD) and pre-tax profit of 50-55 trillion VND and becoming one of the top 10 telecom firms in the world.
The PM described Viettel as a model example that has encouraged the Vietnamese business community to develop, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution.
He lauded the group’s efforts in personnel development, particularly high-quality human resources, saying Viettel has created breakthroughs in development programmes.
The outcomes and successes reaped by Viettel are vivid evidence for the important role of State-owned enterprises in the socialist-oriented market economy, the government leader stressed, praising the group’s fulfillment of its social responsibility with many social welfare programmes.
PM Phuc urged Viettel to continue affirming its leading role in the telecommunication industry and contribute more to national construction and development.
On the path towards a famous group in the region, Viettel should pay attention to protecting its brand name as a national asset, he reminded.

Stronger efforts and determination are required to achieve and surpass the set targets, especially in the eradication of makeshift and dilapidated houses nationwide, the acceleration of public investment disbursement, and the implementation of nationally important transport projects, PM Pham Minh Chinh noted.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State place great importance on further strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a substantive and effective manner, in line with the development needs of both nations.
At the conference, participants reported that the Government has so far issued 28 decrees on the delegation of responsibilities and powers between the central Government and two-tier local administrations. Several localities have already piloted the new governance model.
Reality is the ultimate benchmark for success, he said, urging drafting agencies to work out policies that foster development, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and respect practical conditions.
Under the official dispatch signed on June 20, ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and chairpersons of provincial and municipal People’s Committees are requested to concentrate efforts on implementing core measures to ensure the smooth operations of the new administrative framework.
The Party chief underscored the need for the press to innovate relentlessly, evolve to keep pace with the country's development, transform into a truly professional, humanistic, and modern sector that serves the cause of the Party, the State, and the people on the path to national construction and development.
The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.
Nghia affirmed that this is a milestone of special significance, affirming and honouring the the Vietnamese revolutionary press’s glorious tradition of 100 years of serving the revolutionary cause of the Party, serving the Fatherland, and serving the people.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.

He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
