Speaking at the session, PM Phuc hailed Viettel as an exemplary model of good governance and qualified workforce.
Viettel Chairman Major General Nguyen Manh Hung said with nearly 100 million subscribers, Viettel has become one of the world’s 15 largest telecom providers. The group has expanded its operations to telecom electronic industry, high-tech weapon industry and cyber security industry, he said.
The PM described Viettel as a model example that has encouraged the Vietnamese business community to develop, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution.
He lauded the group’s efforts in personnel development, particularly high-quality human resources, saying Viettel has created breakthroughs in development programmes.
PM Phuc urged Viettel to continue affirming its leading role in the telecommunication industry and contribute more to national construction and development.
On the path towards a famous group in the region, Viettel should pay attention to protecting its brand name as a national asset, he reminded.
The Government, the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defence will create the best possible conditions for Viettel to develop further, he affirmed.
