HÀ NỘI — Head of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission Nguyễn Văn Bình has said that Việt Nam values and creates favourable conditions for clean energy investors and the US’ AES energy company.
In a reception in Hà Nội on Thursday for AES General Director in charge of Việt Nam David Stone, Bình spoke highly of AES’ successful operations in Việt Nam since 2010, notably the Mông Dương 2 BOT project that was completed ahead of schedule and won awards for safety, contributing to ensuring energy security in Việt Nam.
He suggested that AES, with its financial and technological capacity, continue its business activities in Việt Nam, as the country needs huge investment in energy.
Speaking highly of Việt Nam’s potential in energy, Stone expressed a wish to join Sơn Mỹ LNG terminal and Sơn Mỹ 2 gas power project in the central province of Bình Thuận.
He said AES wants to receive the Vietnamese Government’s further support and become one of Việt Nam’s long-term and strategic energy development partners. — VNS
