Notably, Samsung invested its first project in Vietnam in this province, with the investment licence granted on March 19, 2013 and the capital of 2 billion USD. To date, the group has poured 7.53 billion USD into Thai Nguyen, contributing importantly to its socio-economic development.
This year, the locality’s state budget revenue is estimated at 18.54 trillion VND (772.5 million USD), nearly 4 trillion VND higher than the plan assigned by the Government, in which Korean firms’ contribution in the first 11 months accounted for 36% of the total.
Based on the fine relationship between Vietnam and the RoK, Thai Nguyen and Gyeongsangbuk province have engaged in a friendly cooperation since 2005, and achieved a lot of good results.
