HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam will continue to facilitate foreign investment and business activities, including those by US enterprises, in line with laws and the country’s evolving development needs, said Trần Lưu Quang, Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Policies and Strategies.

During a meeting with President of AES Vietnam Oliver Marquette on Wednesday, Quang praised the group’s investment performance in Việt Nam in recent years and welcomed its long-term commitment, particularly in the field of green and clean energy that supports the country's development and energy transition.

He reaffirmed the US as one of Việt Nam's most important strategic partners, applauding the increasingly fruitful development of the two countries' comprehensive strategic partnership.

The official asked relevant ministries of Việt Nam to maintain discussion with AES to promptly resolve bottlenecks, and report issues beyond their authority to ensure the timely implementation of AES’s projects. These efforts, he said, will contribute to Việt Nam's development and the enhancement of Việt Nam–US relations.

Marquette, for his part, provided updates on the firm’s key projects in Việt Nam, including the Sơn Mỹ liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and the Sơn Mỹ 2 gas-fired power plant. He also shared AES’s experience in developing similar energy projects globally and highlighted the success of the Mông Dương 2 thermal power plant, which has been operational since 2015.

He underlined AES’s determination and commitment to successfully implementing its projects in Việt Nam, contributing to the country’s long-term development goals. — VNA/VNS
