Vietnam welcomes Facebook’s digital ecosystem
4/11/19
Head of the Party Central Committee’s Economic
Commission Nguyen Van Binh on November 4 welcomed Facebook’s contributions to
digital ecosystem building in Vietnam and its selection of the country as a
destination for new-generation Oculus virtual reality (VR) equipment
production.
During a reception in Hanoi for Facebook’s Asia-Pacific Vice President of
Public Policy Simon Miller and Vice President for Southeast Asia and Emerging
Markets Benjamin Joe, Binh also affirmed that Vietnam always provides all
possible support for foreign enterprises, including Facebook, to do business in
Vietnam.
He also asked Facebook to work closely with Vietnam’s authorities to remove
malign information online affecting national security, social safety and order,
thus protecting users’ personal information and ensuring cyber security in the
country.
Facebook representatives said the social media group is working to support
Vietnamese firms, including small- and medium-sized ones, female businesspeople
and start-ups.
They added that the group has officially expanded production in Vietnam with
new-generation Oculus Rift S VR headsets, and is actively
seeking partners to churn out other products in the country.
According to them, the move is an important stride in Facebook’s commitments to
investing in Vietnam and part of efforts to diversify production facilities in
its global supply chain./.
