HÀ NỘI — Minister of Public Security General Lương Tam Quang hosted a reception in Hà Nội on Wednesday for General Director of Samsung Việt Nam Na Ki Hong.

Quang congratulated Na on his appointment as General Director of Samsung Việt Nam, emphasising that the strong partnership between Việt Nam and the Republic of Korea (RoK) provides a solid foundation for Samsung’s operations in Việt Nam.

Commending Samsung’s achievements in Việt Nam, the minister highlighted the company’s role in researching and manufacturing advanced technology products, which have significantly contributed to Việt Nam's economic growth.

He also proposed Samsung Việt Nam enhance cooperation in training specialised personnel in information technology and artificial intelligence for the Ministry of Public Security.

Additionally, Quang suggested Samsung support the ministry in applying advanced technologies in national security management and oversight, while supporting scholarship programmes or providing training equipment, and funding social initiatives in healthcare, education, and environmental protection.

The minister also called on Samsung Việt Nam to maintain regular dialogue the Ministry of Public Security on its business and production as well as its difficulties and obstacles for settlement.

Expressing his appreciation for the ministry and minister's long-standing support and coordination, Na noted that 2025 marks 30 years of Samsung’s presence in Việt Nam.
