At the meeting, corporations such as SBI Holdings, Renesas Electronics Corporation, Denso, Rapidus Corporation, Tokyo Electron Limited presented directions and proposals for cooperation in developing semiconductor chips and ecosystems in Vietnam.

Opinions highly appreciated Vietnam's potential as well as the cooperation potential of Vietnam - Japan partners in the semiconductor industry, artificial intelligence technology and other high-tech industries. This is an important area to continue to concretize and implement the newly established Vietnam-Japan Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

After listening to the opinions, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh spent a lot of time presenting the fundamental elements of Vietnam's development, the guidelines, guidelines and policies of the Party and State of Vietnam on a number of issues. pillar fields (socio-economic development, industrialization, modernization, foreign affairs, defense-security, culture).

Accordingly, Vietnam is focusing on building three fundamental elements: (3) Socialist democracy, promoting the will and strength of great national unity, combined with the power of the times; (1) Socialist rule of law state – State of the people, by the people, for the people; (2) Socialist-oriented market economy (respecting objective laws but with State regulation when necessary).

Vietnam clearly identifies three strategic breakthroughs in institutions, human resources, and infrastructure. At the same time, building an independent and self-reliant economy associated with proactive, active and deep international integration, substantive and effective; Consider promoting innovation, science and technology as an objective requirement, strategic choice, and top priority. Promoting digital transformation and green transformation are two trends that are closely linked and interact with each other.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the development of the semiconductor industry requires a synchronous and modern infrastructure system for the economy and society in general (such as transportation, healthcare, education...), and at the same time it is necessary to develop digital infrastructure.

Vietnam is also focusing on education and training to improve people's knowledge, train human resources, and foster talents. Any field requires appropriate human resources, especially the semiconductor industry requires high quality human resources. Vietnam already has an abundant workforce in the field of information technology, which needs to be trained and retrained so that this team becomes a high-quality human resource for the semiconductor field.

The Prime Minister emphasized that in the development process in general and the semiconductor field in particular, Vietnam determines that internal resources are basic, strategic, long-term, decisive, external resources are important and breakthrough. break. The Prime Minister gave an example: resources from Japan have helped Vietnam have more large projects such as Nhat Tan bridge (Hanoi), Bai Chay bridge (Quang Ninh)...

According to the Prime Minister, the establishment of the "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia and the world" is an important foundation for Japanese businesses to invest and do business in Vietnam, as the Prime Minister said. Japanese General Kishida Fumio once affirmed that Vietnam-Japan relations have no limits.

The Prime Minister requested the Japanese side, large Japanese businesses and corporations in the field of semiconductors to increase cooperation, investment, and develop the semiconductor industry ecosystem in all three stages: design, Build a chip manufacturing, packaging and testing factory. From there, it contributes to promoting and concretizing the comprehensive strategic partnership for peace and prosperity in Asia and the world that has just been established by Vietnam and Japan.

In particular, we focus on promoting technology transfer; contribute ideas to build and improve mechanisms and policies; investing in infrastructure, building training facilities, research and development centers, semiconductor chip product design and development centers and semiconductor engineer training programs in Vietnam; Improve management capacity towards modernity...

The Prime Minister emphasized that Vietnam wishes to develop the semiconductor industry in a more breakthrough and stronger direction, playing a more important role in the global supply chain. Vietnam will continue to have appropriate priority policies for businesses and investors in this field on taxes, land...

Vietnam always listens, shares, and removes difficulties and obstacles for businesses to develop, with the goal of open mechanisms and policies, smooth infrastructure development, and smart governance.

The Prime Minister emphasized that Vietnam is and will continue to ensure the fundamental elements, maintain a peaceful and stable environment, firmly protect independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, political stability, social order and safety, maintaining macroeconomic stability, ensuring major balances, so that businesses and corporations can feel secure in investing in Vietnam and "if they don't invest, they can feel secure when coming to Vietnam." Male".

"It can be said that Vietnam is a safe place to stay during the storm," the Prime Minister shared with delegates. He added that so far in 2023, Vietnam has attracted about 30 billion USD of registered FDI capital and has disbursed about 20 billion USD.

The Prime Minister reiterated the message "from heart to heart" of the late Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda when announcing the basic principles of Japan's foreign policy towards ASEAN nearly half a century ago. "From heart to heart" is also Vietnam's perspective when building and developing an advanced culture, rich in national identity, as well as in relations with international friends and partners.

"We are not working machines, but must always take people as the center, the subject, the goal, the driving force, and the resource for development," the Prime Minister shared.
