Assessing Vietnam's investment environment, a representative of Heesung Electronics Vietnam said that Vietnam was a place with a favourable location, not only geographically. but also geopolitics; the Government had many activities to promote free trade agreements with many countries; the domestic market also had great potential in terms of population and especially the high proportion of young population.

A representative of Heesung Electronics Vietnam said that it took this company more than a year to choose a country to locate its factory. “At that time, we analyzed the pros and cons among Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and Myanmar. We compared population, government policies, business environment and infrastructure and clearly found that Vietnam was the ideal destination. And I know that many other foreign-invested enterprises are currently conducting similar types of feasibility studies”, said Mr. Ko Tae Yeon.

Sharing about choosing Hai Phong as the location for the production headquarters, Mr. Ko Tae Yeon said that this choice depended on the products produced and the mode of transportation for export.
