The Prime Minister assessed that the cooperation agreement between NVIDIA and the Vietnamese Government, signed just over 1 year after the Prime Minister visited NVIDIA in the US (September 2023), is an important milestone demonstrating the determination and strong commitment of Chairman Jensen Huang in turning Vietnam into "Nvidia's second home". In the coming time, the Prime Minister suggested that the two sides cooperate in researching and developing AI to create a new production force based on Vietnamese AI with the cooperation of NVIDIA and propose some specific directions. Accordingly, NVIDIA continues to advise Vietnam to develop this field in accordance with the trend of the times and the conditions, circumstances, and cultural and historical traditions of Vietnam; cooperate in developing AI infrastructure; cooperate in developing AI to exploit underground space, sea space, and outer space; cooperate to promote the start-up movement, innovation, especially to inspire the young generation... The Prime Minister asked NVIDIA Corporation to continue to closely coordinate with the National Innovation Center, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, and leading technology enterprises and leading technical universities in Vietnam. The Vietnamese Government is committed to creating the most favorable conditions for the cooperation contents between the two sides to be effectively implemented, bringing practical benefits to both sides in the spirit of "harmonious benefits, shared risks", "listening, understanding together; sharing vision and action together; working together, winning together, developing businesses and developing the country together; enjoying joy, happiness and pride together". NVIDIA Chairman Jensen Huang affirmed that AI is a new technology that is changing the data of all countries. Data must be considered a national resource, Vietnam needs to process its own data and turn this data into Vietnamese AI, for Vietnamese industries and society. "Collaborative efforts are helping us build a strong AI future for Vietnam. Vietnam's strong encouragement and support for this field will be a big boost to building an AI ecosystem for Vietnam. NVIDIA and I will be your partners and friends on every step, every AI journey," said Mr. Jensen Huang. According to Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung, NVIDIA's support in the field of AI will help Vietnam not only achieve its development goals in the high-tech industry in general, and the AI field in particular, but also contribute to promoting the entire Southeast Asia region to become a destination for innovation.
