This is to support Vietnam’s economic growth, bolster its artificial intelligence and big data infrastructure, and facilitate electricity exports to other ASEAN nations, the PM told Masayuki Omoto, CEO of Marubeni Corporation, one of Japan’s leading investment and trading conglomerates with a 80-year track record in Vietnam, during their meeting in Hanoi on Monday.
Mr. Chinh said Vietnam has established a feasible legal and regulatory framework for large-scale power projects, including liquefied natural gas and offshore wind, and confirmed that legal obstacles surrounding the O Mon II gas-fired power project had been resolved.

Beyond energy, he encouraged Marubeni to deepen ties with the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited (Vinacomin) to boost coal exports to Japan. He also proposed collaboration in agriculture, including crop and livestock breeding, as well as branding, processing, and exporting Vietnamese staples like coffee, rice, and quality food.
CEO Masayuki Omoto said Marubeni is committed to further contributing to Vietnam’s development and proposed Vietnam increasing power supply for Quang Ninh province to meet the demand of investors.
