The LEGO plant in southern Binh Duong province will be a standout example for Vietnam’s foreign investment attraction in the coming time, since it initiates a green production method that the country and the whole world are heading towards, according to Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang, the Government News has reported.

During a reception in Hanoi on May 30 for Chief Operations Officer of the Denmark-based LEGO Group Carsten Rasmussen, who is on a working visit to Vietnam, Deputy PM Quang stressed that the Vietnamese Government treasures and pays special attention to the plant which is one of important solutions for the country to concretize the net-zero commitment it made at the COP26.

He expressed his hope that Danish Ambassador to Vietnam, H.E. Nicolai Prytz, and LEGO leaders will continue working to call for Danish firms to land investment in Vietnam.

Mr. Rasmussen thanked the Vietnamese Government, ministries, sectors and the locality for their support for LEGO to develop its plant which is the sixth and first-ever carbon-neutral one in the world.

LEGO is working with Binh Duong province to build a solar energy farm to serve the plant, and it is expected to become operational from 2025, he said.
