Bolat said the corporation also set a target of earning a revenue of $3 billion over the next five years. This year, the company won the bid for 10 new construction projects

Two days before, shareholders also came to a consensus to issue bonds with a total value of VNĐ1 trillion up from VNĐ500 billion. -— VNS
