Giving a speech at the recent meeting of the foreign investment business community, Mr. Phung Viet Thang, Intel Vietnam representative, said that recently, Intel Vietnam has been considered the most successful facility of Intel in global. To achieve that result, accompanying Intel is the support of the Vietnamese Government as well as the support of ministries and branches.
“Intel Vietnam does not consider itself an investor who has invested in Vietnam, but we always prove ourselves as the next potential investor in Vietnam. We always innovate, research, and invest in new technology," Mr. Thang said.
The representative of Intel Vietnam stated that it could be seen that policies or fluctuations in the economy always affect manufacturing companies like Intel and the comprehensive policies issued by ministries and agencies. This industry is extremely important to businesses.

"Therefore, the Government's specific actions are not only motivation and lessons for Intel but also for other businesses that can learn, consult, and help us make important decisions.", Mr. Phung Viet Thang emphasized.
