Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had a working session with the military-run telecommunications service provider Viettel in Hanoi on April 9 regarding the group’s research and production activities in the high-tech defense industry.
Viettel Chairman and General Director Tao Duc Thang said the company has mastered the design, integration, and core technologies of high-tech defense industry products. Particularly, it has successfully produced and delivered some strategic products for the military.
Chinh stressed that products researched and developed by Viettel, especially strategic ones, have been contributing to laying a foundation for building the nation’s proactive, self-reliant, self-sufficient, dual-use, and modern defense industry. They help promote the internal strength to develop the sector as the spearhead of the national industry.
The leader requested Viettel blaze a trail in innovation and emerging industries, particularly in the research and production of semiconductor chips.
He urged the group to quickly master technologies, localize more products, and research and make dual-use goods to serve domestic and export demands.
