VinGroup has pioneered the application of modern technologies and sustainable solutions to meet ESG (environmental, social and governance) standards across all of the group's operations, from technology - industry, trade - services to social charity activities. According to Mr. Quang, VinGroup's conversion of all production and business activities of Vinfast automobile company to smart electric vehicles is an important turning point. This conversion not only promotes a sustainable transport ecosystem, reduces carbon emissions but also strongly inspires other businesses to catch up with the global greening trend. With its pioneering role in introducing green and smart initiatives to the Middle East, VinGroup is proud to be one of the businesses opening a new era for sustainable transport and modern life. Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that the official visit to the UAE this time by the Vietnamese delegation is of great significance, helping to consolidate and create a breakthrough in the bilateral relationship between Vietnam and the UAE. The two highlights of the visit are the two countries' plans to officially upgrade their relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership and sign the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). The Prime Minister assessed that the relationship between Vietnam and the UAE has developed well, with mutual trust, rapid economic cooperation and great potential... which is a solid foundation for businesses of the two countries to expand cooperation.

The Prime Minister also said that digital transformation and green transformation are strong trends in the world today, with the goal of zero net emissions by 2050. Vietnam and the UAE are pioneers in this field, sharing the same goal of following the world trend. The UAE successfully hosted the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Summit (COP28). For its part, Vietnam is also developing clean energy such as wind, solar, hydrogen, etc. Vietnam is also actively perfecting its institutions, ensuring favorable mechanisms and policies for the development of this field. The Prime Minister highly appreciated the efforts and presence of VinGroup and Vinfast in the UAE, contributing to promoting cooperation between the two countries and green transformation in the Middle East region, hoping that citizens of Middle Eastern countries will trust and use Vinfast electric vehicles.

The Prime Minister hopes that VinGroup, with the support of the Government and people of the UAE, will actively work with UAE partners to participate in developing strategic infrastructure, promoting digital transformation and developing emerging fields in Vietnam. The Prime Minister asked the UAE to support Vinfast in particular and Vietnam in general, and work with Vietnam to effectively implement the CEPA Agreement through specific projects and products, bringing about specific results; hoping that the UAE people will love Vietnam and Vietnamese products and goods. The Prime Minister also asked agencies to coordinate in organizing festivals to introduce Vietnamese goods in the UAE to promote trade connections, supply chains, and production chains of the two countries, bringing benefits to the people.
