Vietnam is a potential market for Boeing.

Receiving Ms. Stephanie Pope, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, President Luong Cuong highly appreciated Boeing's business achievements as well as its cooperation and support with Vietnam in recent times.

Expressing his delight at learning that Boeing had completed procedures to hand over new aircraft to Vietnamese partners, the President asked Boeing to continue to coordinate closely to complete and deliver signed orders on schedule, with an effective operating roadmap and financial plan.

Regarding Boeing 's commitments to accompany Vietnam's development, President Luong Cuong suggested that Boeing soon research and invest in component manufacturing factories, as well as build regional-scale equipment, machinery and aircraft maintenance centers associated with major airports.

According to him, through this, Boeing will not only serve the Vietnamese market but also the entire Southeast Asian region. He also asked Boeing to create conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to gradually participate in Boeing's global supply chain, strengthening the foundation of sustainable and long-term cooperation between the two sides.

Vietnam is ready to create all favorable conditions, in accordance with the law, for US investors in general and Boeing in particular to invest and do business effectively and sustainably in Vietnam.

For her part, Ms. Pope considered meeting the President a great honor, and also a testament to the increasingly close cooperative relationship between the US and Vietnam.

Discussing Boeing's strategy and cooperation commitments with Vietnam, Ms. Pope affirmed that she will continue to work with leaders of Vietnamese airlines to gradually concretize agreements between the two sides, thereby continuing to consolidate and further strengthen the cooperative relationship with Vietnamese partners.

According to Ms. Pope, Vietnam currently has 17 Boeing aircraft that Vietnam Airlines is operating. Currently, Vietjet has signed a contract to buy more than 200 aircraft, of which the first will be delivered on this occasion.

These, according to Boeing leaders, are proof that the Southeast Asian market plays a very important role for the group. In particular, Vietnam, with its dynamically developing economy , will become one of the potential markets for Boeing's modern aircraft lines.

Meeting with President Luong Cuong, Chairman and CEO of Costco Group Ron Vachris shared that Costco is one of the largest retail corporations in the US, operating more than 870 supermarkets globally, so it pays great attention to diversifying its product sources and expanding its international supply network.

Costco's leadership then expressed its desire to continue working closely with key Vietnamese suppliers to bring products suitable for the market, thereby maintaining long-term cooperation with Vietnamese partners.

It is estimated that the import value of Vietnamese goods in Costco 's supply chain could reach over 1 billion USD per year with key items such as textiles, footwear, wooden furniture, seafood, cashew nuts and coffee, etc.

To further promote development and diversify the supply chain, Mr. Vachris emphasized that Costco is interested in building a strategic cooperation framework to develop production and supply capacity. The group is willing to share experience and lead in applying ESG standards (abbreviation of environmental - social - corporate governance).

President Luong Cuong highly appreciated the business results as well as the need to increase the purchase of Vietnamese export goods to put into Costco's distribution system.

The initiative of Costco Group in building a strategic cooperation framework, according to the President, is in line with Vietnam's strategic priority in participating more deeply in the global value chain, especially in industries with strengths such as agricultural products, seafood, textiles, footwear and light industry.

The President said Vietnam is ready to cooperate in transferring green technology, supporting Vietnamese enterprises to improve production processes, reduce emissions and use renewable energy as well as enhance the competitiveness of goods.

He also welcomed Costco's proposal to officially establish a presence and long-term investment in Vietnam, affirming that with a population of nearly 100 million and constantly expanding consumer demand, Vietnam will be a destination with great potential.

The President affirmed that Vietnam is committed to accompanying and facilitating Costco in implementing investment forms from purchasing centers, warehouse and logistics systems to the ability to build regional distribution centers.
