During a meeting with President of AES Viet Nam Oliver Marquette on July 9, Quang praised the group’s investment performance in Viet Nam in recent years and welcomed its long-term commitment, particularly in the field of green and clean energy that supports the country's development and energy transition.

He reaffirmed the US as one of Viet Nam’s most important strategic partners, applauding the increasingly fruitful development of the two countries' comprehensive strategic partnership.

The official asked relevant ministries of Viet Nam to maintain discussion with AES to promptly resolve bottlenecks, and report issues beyond their authority to ensure the timely implementation of AES’s projects. These efforts, he said, will contribute to Viet Nam’s development and the enhancement of Viet Nam – US relations.

Marquette, for his part, provided updates on the firm’s key projects in Viet Nam, including the Son My liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and the Son My 2 gas-fired power plant. He also shared AES’s experience in developing similar energy projects globally and highlighted the success of the Mong Duong 2 thermal power plant, which has been operational since 2015.

He underlined AES’s determination and commitment to successfully implementing its projects in Viet Nam, contributing to the country’s long-term development goals.
