American technology company Intel has plans to broaden business and investment activities in Vietnam following the country’s good management of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Vietnam Government Portal (VGP) quoted Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger.

The Intel executive made the statement at a meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in Hanoi on Friday.

Vietnam is an attractive destination for foreign investors as it is a vibrant economy and a promising market, CEO Gelsinger said.

He highlighted that Vietnam remains a charming investment destination in the eyes of foreign investors thanks to its dynamic economy, potential market, and industrious population.

He appreciated the Vietnamese government’s efforts in creating favorable conditions for foreign investors, particularly its support for Intel to maintain production amid the pandemic time.

Chinh, who visited Intel’s headquarters in California earlier this month, praised semiconductor chip manufacturer's investment activities in Vietnam over the past 15 years.

Intel's assembly and test factory, located in Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Ho Chi Minh City, became the U.S.’s biggest high tech project in Vietnam.

Since it came into operation in 2010, the factory has generated hundreds of jobs and consolidated Vietnam’s status in the global semiconductor supply chains.  

Chinh recommended that Intel build a research center in Vietnam and assist the Southeast Asian nation in building up a startup and innovation ecosystem and high-quality workforce.
