At a reception in Hanoi on Tuesday for AES Permanent Executive Vice President Juan Ignacio Rubiolo, PM Chinh hailed the corporation for its constructive policy recommendations for Vietnam, especially in green and clean energy to contribute to energy transition and the goal of carbon neutralisation in the country by 2050.

The Vietnamese Government will continue to support the AES Corporation's projects to ensure their sustainable successes and effectiveness, he said.

Rubiolo said Vietnam could lead the region in the energy transition process. The AES will continue its long-term operations in Vietnam to help the country fulfill its zero transmission goal by 2050, contributing to building an independent and self-reliant economy.

As one of the top 500 US companies voted by Fortune Magazine and one of the world’s leading energy enterprises, the AES has experience in electricity production and distribution, and infrastructure in the gas industry. It has been operating in Vietnam since 2010.
