Vietnamese Government Moves Forward with Nuclear Power Plans
Daewoo Engineering & Construction, the Only Korean Construction Firm to Hold Talks
Daewoo Engineering & Construction announced that, on August 26, Chairman Jung Wonju met with Le Minh Hoang, the Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade, to discuss energy sector projects such as nuclear power plants and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.
Officials from the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade and Vietnam Oil and Petrochemical Corporation (PVN) visited Korea for three days starting August 26 to attend the Korea-Vietnam Joint Committee on Industry and to meet with relevant ministries. Daewoo Engineering & Construction was reportedly the only domestic construction company with which they held talks.
Chairman Jung stated, "Over the past 30 years, Daewoo Engineering & Construction has carried out various projects in Vietnam, growing alongside the development of the local economy, and has built a deep understanding of Vietnam as well as an extensive local network. Our aim is not simply to participate in projects as a foreign company, but to contribute substantively to the expansion of Vietnam's nuclear power and energy infrastructure through localization."
He continued, "Daewoo Engineering & Construction is participating as the main construction coordinator for the Dukovany nuclear power plant project in the Czech Republic. From the project preparation stage, we have been identifying and collaborating with local specialists to expand local company participation. Likewise, if we take part in Vietnam's nuclear power projects, we will go beyond mere construction to share our nuclear plant construction technologies and experience, and actively support local companies in enhancing their technology, quality capabilities, and competitiveness."
