A delegation from Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance, led by Vice Minister Le Tan Can, visited Hong Kong and China from December 1 to 5, 2025, as part of ongoing research into insurance policy reforms and efforts to identify solutions for the sector’s development through 2030.
On December 2, the delegation held talks with AIA Group at the company’s Hong Kong headquarters. Accompanying Vice Minister Can were Mr. Ngo Viet Trung, Director General of the Insurance Supervisory Authority, along with senior officials from several of the Authority’s departments.
AIA Group’s delegation included Mr. Garth Jones, Group Chief Financial Officer; Ms. Jayne Plunkett, Group Chief Risk Officer; Mr. Fisher Zhang, Regional Chief Executive; and Mr. Andrew Loh, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Vietnam.
Discussions centered on the socio-economic landscape across regional markets, including Vietnam, and on emerging trends shaping the insurance industry. AIA representatives highlighted the growing application of artificial intelligence and digital technologies aimed at improving customer experience and strengthening agent capabilities—innovations that, they noted, require significant investment and coordinated adaptation from both governments and industry.
AIA leaders also outlined the Group’s strategic priorities and reiterated their hope for continued support from the Ministry of Finance as the company expands its presence in Vietnam.
Vice Minister Can commended AIA Vietnam’s performance and AIA Group’s contributions to both the insurance sector and the broader economy over its 25 years of operations in Vietnam. He expressed confidence that AIA would continue to scale up its investment in the Vietnamese market and wished the company further success in the years ahead.
