Seoul (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had a working lunch with the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s experts and scientists in semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) in Seoul on July 1, during which he expressed his hope that they will share their experience and know-how to help the two industries of Vietnam develop fast and sustainably.
Highly valuing Vietnam’s development strategy based on innovation, science and technology, including semiconductor and AI, participants advised the country to prepare large investment and high-quality human resources, and immediately implement specific short-cut projects.
They proposed issuing systematic and concrete policies and mechanisms on human resources training for these industries. In addition to local human resources, the country needs to mobilise the intelligence and resources of overseas Vietnamese, as well as resources from other countries, including the RoK.
