The Prime Minister asked the US firm to support Vietnam in developing an ecosystem of innovation, start-ups, and increase labor productivity, build a basic research center for long-term business in Vietnam; helping Vietnam diversify its supply chains.
The Vietnamese government stands ready to support companies, including foreign-invested enterprises like Intel, to conduct business effectively in Vietnam, he underlined.
