Add BT as a preferred source
SOUTH Korean industrial conglomerate Hyosung Group plans to invest an additional US$4 billion in Vietnam, the Vietnamese government said late on Monday (Oct 14).
Hyosung plans to invest in production of hi-tech materials, bio jet fuels, and carbon fibres, the government said in a statement, adding that it also plans to invest in data centres.
The statement came after a meeting earlier on Monday in Hanoi between Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Hyosung chairman Cho Hyun-joon.
The government did not give a time-frame for the investment.
It said the group had already invested US$4 billion in Vietnam, creating 10,000 jobs. REUTERS
