Receiving Mr. Craig Barrett, Chairman of the Board of Intel Corporation today, PM Nguyen Tan Dungz expressed his hope that Intel will promote IT cooperation, especially helping Vietnam to nurture its IT human resource.
The PM highly appreciated the construction of an Intel micro-processing plant in Ho Chi Minh City, being firmly convinced that the project, once coming into operation, will play an important role in Vietnam’s socio-economic development.
He compared the project to a vivid symbol of the well-developing friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and the US.
The host leader said that Vietnam always considers IT a priority industry and the Government is outlining a roadmap of IT development to convert Vietnam into a power in this field.
PM Dungz took the occasion to ask Intel to share its experience with Vietnam in developing modern and advanced IT.
Chairman Craig Barrett stated that Intel will spare no effort to complete its micro-processing plant on schedule.
He pledged to enhance cooperation with Vietnam in building IT infrastructure and other aspects proposed by PM Dungz.
The micro-processing plant in Ho Chi Minh City was licensed in late February 2006. This is one of the US largest projects in Vietnam with the investment capital of US $1 billion. It is the 7th Intel plant worldwide.
