Huang expressed his delight at the crowded, yet sophisticated, atmosphere of Hanoi's Old Quarter - the place where the cultural quintessence of Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular converge. Hanoi's Old Quarter at night is both modern and noisy and has the traditional features of ancient neighborhoods.
Previously, in the afternoon of the same day, PM Pham Chinh had a working session with President and CEO of NVIDIA Jensen Huang and witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Government of Vietnam and the US chip giant on the establishment of an artificial intelligence (AI) research and development centre and an AI data centre in Vietnam.
This is the result of efforts from both sides after just over a year since PM Chinh's business trip to the US, during which he visited the NVIDIA Corporation headquarters in early September 2023 and asked NVIDIA to cooperate with Vietnam in technology development.
At the request of the Vietnamese government leader, in December 2023, Huang came to Vietnam and had a meeting with PM Chinh. And during this working visit to Vietnam, the two sides signed the cooperation agreement.
With the initial foundation and goodwill, it promises that Vietnam will truly be NVIDIA's "second home" as committed by the corporation’s President and CEO.
