The Prime Minister said that the business's proposal is legitimate. Vietnam is implementing a strategy of free vaccines for everyone. Workers are a priority object, including Samsung workers. However, due to the global shortage of vaccines, the Prime Minister wanted Samsung to voice with the Korean Government and partners to support Vietnam in implementing its vaccine strategy in many forms. Besides, Vietnam promotes research, technology transfer, domestic vaccine production and has had very positive signals.
