The Party leader hailed the company's investments in Viet Nam, which have made practical contributions to the country's development as well as Viet Nam–U.S. relations.
Viet Nam considers the U.S. as one of its most important partners, noted the host, expressing his hope that cooperation between the two countries would continue to develop in line with their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework.
Bilateral cooperation in economics, trade, investment, science and technology, and innovation would continue to serve as a key driving force and a model for mutually beneficial cooperation in international relations, said To.
Viet Nam always attaches importance to and creates favorable conditions for American energy giants to launch business in the Southeast Asian country, bringing tangible benefits to the people and businesses of both nations and contributing to the development of the bilateral ties, affirmed Party leader.
He welcomed GE Vernova's organization of the annual Viet Nam Future Energy Summit, noting that it features many practical and relevant topics.
To stressed the importance of energy for Viet Nam's breakthrough development goals, calling on GE Vernova to continue leveraging its potential and experience to further deepen cooperation with Viet Nam in energy infrastructure, technology, and human resource development.
Strazik, for his part, spoke highly the vision of Viet Nam's leadership, together with the country's open policy environment and impressive economic growth, serving as a great source of inspiration for the corporation.
The company chose Viet Nam as the first Asian country to host its annual energy conference, bringing together more than 100 leaders of the world's leading energy corporations. This event marks the beginning of a new phase in GE Vernova's cooperation with Viet Nam and the broader region, he added.
GE Vernova is willing to serve as a bridge between businesses and the governments of the two countries, accompanying Viet Nam not only in achieving its goal of ensuring energy security but also in implementing its socio-economic development goals, said Strazik./.
