On addressing the event, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai said that Doosan Vina is one of the largest foreign-invested projects in Vietnamese heavy industry. The company’s export of desalination equipment to the UAE has taken Vietnamese heavy industry to a new level of development, he said.
The deputy PM urged Doosan Vina to maintain the rate of its growth and to focus on manufacturing desalination equipment, as well as improving the skills of its workers, which will contribute further to the development of the Dung Quat economic zone and Quang Ngai province as a whole.
