Amazon is seeking to increase localisation ratios in its electronic component supply chain and encourages Vietnamese enterprises to deeper participate in its global value chain, according to Ms. Susan Pointer, Amazon’s Vice President for International Public Policy & Government Affairs.
During a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long in Hanoi on December 5, Ms. Pointer also proposed expanding cooperation in training high-quality human resources in digital technology, data, and artificial intelligence—areas she described as essential to Vietnam’s sustainable development in the digital era.
The two sides also exchanged views on policies for advancing science and technology, developing the digital economy and artificial intelligence, and exploring cooperation potential in low Earth orbit satellites and the production of technological equipment in Vietnam.
Deputy PM Long highly appreciated Amazon’s proposals, affirming that they align with Vietnam’s strategy to develop high-tech industries and promote the “Make in Vietnam” technology enterprise model.
He emphasised that Vietnam attaches great importance to partnerships with leading global technology corporations, viewing them as a key driving force for digital transformation and the development of a knowledge-based economy.
The Deputy PM added that the Vietnamese Government stands ready to create favourable conditions for Amazon to expand long-term, effective cooperation and investment in Vietnam, contributing to the growth of the local e-commerce market and the national science-technology ecosystem.
