Tran Dang Tuan will take the post of AVG General Director
Former Deputy General Director of the Vietnam National Television Tran Dang Tuan will take the post of General Director of AVG (Audio Visual Global JSC), President of AVG Pham Nhat Vu confirmed with the local press on December 18.
The news about former Deputy General Director of the Vietnam National Television Trang Dang Tuan has been appearing continuously on local newspapers these days. Tuan, a big name in the telecasting industry, unexpectedly announced that he would resign from the post of the Deputy General Director of the Vietnam National Television. The proposal of resignation was then approved by the Prime Minister. After that, Tuan, as a state employee, has been assigned to work as an editor for the Vietnam Television Film Center (VFC). However, in the latest news, Tuan will leave VFC for AVG, where he will take the post of general director.
The information has been confirmed by AVG and Tran Dang Tuan. However, Tuan did not say that he will surely take the post of general director assigned for him. He simply said that he will work for AVG.
Answering questions from some newspapers, Vu from AVG said that one year ago, AVG once invited Tuan to work for AVG. At that moment, Tuan refused the invitation. However, since then he has been acting as the advisor for AVG and has been giving ideas on building the development strategy for AVG.
Vu said that AVG once again invited Tuan to work for AVG after Tuan resigned from the post of Deputy General Director of the Vietnam National Television and began working as an editor for VFC. However, Vu said, Tuan will make the final decision.
Meanwhile, in the interview given to Tien phong newspaper, Tuan said that he is “still thinking about that”.
“I will surely take some work at AVG. This is really a new and attractive land for me,” he said. However, Tuan still has not decided which post he will hold at AVG.
When asked if Tuan has set any conditions when accepting work at AVG, Tuan said that he does not have any requirements. “I want to work for AVG simply because AVG is a new and attractive land for me,” he said.
“I am interested in the channel about Oriental culture which AVG plans to broadcast. And I would like to cover this channel. This is my only requirement,” he added.
“I did not go to AVG because of the CEO seat,” he confirmed.
“At my age, money or social standing are not too attractive to me now. The questions I regularly ask myself are which job will I take and can I undertake the required duties well. I still need some more time to think and make a decision,” he continued.
Commenting on the development of Vietnam’s television, Tuan said that Vietnam has made a big leap since the first day of operation. Now Vietnam is launching high quality television channels. With Vietnam Television (VTV), the Vietnam Multimedia Corporation (VTC) and AVG, Vietnam now has three digital television networks.
Tran Dang Tuan, born in 1957, is the first Vietnamese person who has PhD degree in television. He graduated from Lomonosov University in the former Soviet Union. He spent 20 years on working for Vietnam National Television. He has been known as the person who laid the foundation for the development strategies of VTV from 1996 until now.
