Nick Clegg made the above statement during his meeting with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in Ha Noi on Monday.

A Quest 3S headset has the same mixed reality capabilities and fast performance as Meta Quest 3, but at a lower price point. 

Quest 3S is the best headset for those new to mixed reality and immersive experiences, or who might have been waiting for a low-cost upgrade from Quest and Quest 2.  

Nick Clegg hailed the Vietnamese Government's data strategy, adding that Viet Nam is one of the world's leading markets in business conversations (on Facebook's Messenger application) for exchanges between sellers and buyers.

In the upcoming time, Meta will develop virtual assistant Meta AI in the Vietnamese language to boost innovation in the country, he shared.

He committed to continuing to support and replicate investment programs, and support growth for small and medium-sized enterprises in Viet Nam while proposing measures related to specific planning for frequency bands and recommendations on the legal framework in the upcoming time.

Prime Minister Pham, for his part, proposed the corporation work with Vietnamese agencies and partners, especially the Viet Nam National Innovation Centre, to promote cooperation in science-technology, education-training, innovation, AI, and Internet of Things (IoT).

He suggested Meta assist local businesses, organizations, and individuals in joining in the value chain, along with its online platforms and apps.

The Vietnamese leader welcomed Meta's operation expansion in the country, proposing the corporation foster collaboration with local authorities in preventing toxic information, the advertising of illegal services and online fraud, devising measures for protecting social media users, and adhering to local law, including tax rules./.
