Speaking at the seminar, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung emphasized that the Vietnam-US relationship is developing strongly, especially in the field of high technology. He affirmed that the potential for cooperation in the fields of semiconductors and AI is huge, especially after the two countries upgraded their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in September 2023. He also informed that Vietnam has issued a National Strategy for Semiconductor Industry Development and a Human Resource Training Program with the goal of training 50,000 engineers in the semiconductor industry by 2030.
According to VNA, in his speech, General Secretary and President To Lam pointed out that developing the semiconductor and AI industries is an objective requirement, a strategic choice, and a priority in science and technology development; which will lead to the development of other supporting industries.
According to the General Secretary and President, Vietnam is currently at an important juncture in its transformation towards a digital economy, a green economy, and a circular economy, and is prioritizing the strong development of science and technology and innovation to create breakthroughs in productivity, quality, and increase the competitiveness of the economy. In that context, Vietnam encourages and prioritizes selective investment attraction, targeting high-tech projects, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, research and development, renewable energy, green hydrogen, and synchronous infrastructure construction... These are also the areas where US investors have great potential and strengths.
Reviewing the positive results that the Vietnam-US cooperation relationship has brought about since the normalization of relations in 1995, General Secretary and President To Lam affirmed that the potential for cooperation between Vietnamese and US partners in high-tech fields such as semiconductors and AI is extremely large and meaningful in the new era, especially after Vietnam and the US upgraded their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with two breakthrough pillars of cooperation: innovation and the semiconductor industry.
The General Secretary and President expressed his belief that cooperation in the fields of semiconductors and artificial intelligence will open up many opportunities for businesses of both sides to promote and exploit each other's advantages. He affirmed that Vietnam always attaches importance to international cooperation and understands that to succeed and advance in high-tech fields, especially the semiconductor and AI industry, we can only go together and build a solid value chain; at the same time, he welcomed US businesses and organizations to Vietnam to jointly develop innovative and sustainable solutions.
