On the evening of February 9, during his working program in Quang Ngai, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited and worked with Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel Joint Stock Company, a member of Hoa Phat Group, in Dung Quat Economic Zone (EZ), Quang Ngai province.
Accompanying the Prime Minister's delegation were Mr. Nguyen Chi Dung, Minister of Planning and Investment; Mr. Tran Hong Minh, Minister of Transport; Ms. Bui Thi Quynh Van, Secretary of Quang Ngai Provincial Party Committee, and leaders of ministries, branches, central agencies and Quang Ngai province.
Speaking at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh acknowledged, praised and expressed pride in the results achieved by Hoa Phat after 8 years of investment in Quang Ngai; at the same time, he highly appreciated the companionship and support of the authorities at all levels of Quang Ngai province for the smooth implementation of Hoa Phat's project.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that without fundamental industries such as steel and chemicals, we will always be passive in the process of implementing the industrialization and modernization strategy; we cannot help but develop the steel industry and must develop in the direction of digitalization and automation. Therefore, with enterprises like Hoa Phat, we will be more proactive in terms of strategy.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked Hoa Phat to continue researching and producing high-quality steel, especially steel rails for the North-South high-speed railway, railway lines connecting with China, and urban railways in the coming time.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested Hoa Phat to deploy the production of the above steel rails in a manner consistent with the Party's guidelines and policies and the State's laws; the Party and State will pay attention and create favorable conditions for Hoa Phat as well as other national enterprises to develop.
Reporting to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Mr. Tran Dinh Long, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoa Phat Group, said that Hoa Phat has invested 7 billion USD in Quang Ngai in Dung Quat Economic Zone. The key projects are the Hoa Phat Dung Quat Iron and Steel Complex and the Hoa Phat Dung Quat 2 Iron and Steel Complex with a total investment of more than 171 trillion VND.
“With its current capacity, the Group is focusing on producing high-quality steel to help replace imported goods. Hoa Phat is confident in its ability to research and produce rail steel, steel for making train and high-speed train axles according to orders from the Prime Minister as well as high-quality steel for key national projects and export to the world,” said Mr. Tran Dinh Long.
The leader of Hoa Phat Group also suggested that the Government should take measures to legitimately protect domestic manufacturing enterprises. "Whatever domestic enterprises can do, we hope the State will assign them to do. Only then can we nurture large enterprises," Mr. Tran Dinh Long proposed to the Prime Minister and the working delegation. Since the project began in 2017 to 2024, Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel has contributed nearly 35,000 billion VND to the State budget. Hoa Phat's projects in Dung Quat Economic Zone create jobs for about 17,000 direct workers, of which local workers account for more than 80% and tens of thousands of workers of Hoa Phat's contractors and partners.
In addition, Hoa Phat actively implements social security in Quang Ngai. Responding to the Government's program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, the Group has supported the construction of more than 1,500 houses for the poor across the country. Quang Ngai alone is 30 billion VND, equivalent to 600 houses. In addition, Hoa Phat Group also carries out many other activities such as sponsoring school construction, supporting orphans, heart surgery for poor children, giving Tet gifts to the poor, etc.
