Expert: Vingroup is marking a historic milestone in the "golden land" of Congo

According to experts, the cooperation agreement between Vingroup Corporation and the Kinshasa Capital Government (Democratic Republic of Congo) not only opens up a new investment direction in Africa, but also affirms the strategic progress of Vietnamese enterprises on the global map.

Golden time for businesses with vision and potential

The handshake between Vingroup and the Kinshasa Capital Government, Democratic Republic of Congo has received much attention from investors. According to the agreement, the two sides will coordinate to research and develop a riverside metropolis project with a scale of about 6,300 hectares. At the same time, VinFast will provide suitable vehicle models to gradually replace more than 300,000 fossil fuel vehicles with electric vehicles in Kinshasa and research the supply of VinFast electric buses, support the construction and operation of the bus rapid transit route.

Associate Professor Dr. Dinh Trong Thinh, an international financial expert, sees great opportunities for Vingroup in the African country. Located in the heart of Africa, Congo is considered "the most resource-rich heart of the planet". This country owns more than half of the world's cobalt reserves, along with large amounts of copper, lithium, manganese, nickel and rare earths - essential materials for modern industry.

Economically , according to the expert, after a long period of difficulty, Congo is now entering a period of reform and strong growth. Billions of dollars are pouring into Congo, making this country one of the top 10 countries in Africa with FDI capital flows. The economic growth of the country of hundreds of millions of people is also in the top 3 of the continent with an average rate of about 7-8%/year - a dream number for many countries.

In particular, Mr. Thinh emphasized the openness of policies of African countries in general and Congo in particular. "Africa is opening up to countries, especially Vietnam. They see many successful lessons from Vietnam and consider Vietnam an example to learn from," Mr. Thinh said.

More specifically, the expert emphasized the cooperation between Vingroup and the Congolese capital government to develop urban areas and green transport - a field that many African countries are focusing on . "This is a golden time for strategic investors. Congo needs partners who not only have capital, but also have vision and experience in sustainable development. Therefore, the appearance of Vingroup - a corporation that has proven its capacity to create urban areas, green transport and high technology - is very timely and shows the long-term vision of Vietnamese enterprises", Associate Professor, Dr. Dinh Trong Thinh emphasized.

Global milestone of Vietnamese enterprises

From another perspective, the international media also paid much attention when President Felix Tshisekedi and Prime Minister Judith Suminwa received Vingroup Vice President Le Thi Thu Thuy and her delegation in the capital Kinshasa.

During the working session, the President and Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo highly appreciated Vingroup's comprehensive capacity, sustainable development vision and international experience, and expressed strong support for the cooperation proposals put forward by the group.

The Congolese government's trust in Vingroup is also highly appreciated by experts. "When a Vietnamese private corporation is welcomed at the presidential level and given free land to develop a metropolis, it proves the international prestige and capacity of Vietnamese enterprises," said Dr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, an expert in the field of international investment.

Also from Vingroup's handshake, Dr. Nguyen Minh Tuan thought of the "reverse FDI" model - when Vietnam is no longer just an investment recipient, but Vietnamese enterprises themselves become creators, bringing capital, technology and development models to the world.

"If in the past Vietnam was famous as an attractive destination for foreign capital, now Vietnamese enterprises like Vingroup are bringing their knowledge, experience and development values to invest in the opposite direction. That is a strategic step, demonstrating the maturity of the economy," said Mr. Tuan.

Moreover, he analyzed that the cooperation between Vingroup and the Kinshasa Capital Government demonstrates the comprehensive approach of a Vietnamese enterprise that has matured in management capacity and strategic vision.

"Vingroup is not only exporting products, but also exporting its development model. The group's focus on areas such as green cities, clean energy and electric vehicles shows that they are not chasing short-term profits, but aiming to create sustainable value," said Mr. Tuan.

Agreeing, Associate Professor Dr. Dinh Trong Thinh affirmed that the cooperation with Congo shows the image of a Vingroup that is reaching more milestones in its journey to reach the world. That will be a driving force for the Vietnamese business community. "It is not just the story of a corporation, but the image of a new Vietnam, a country that is confident, creative and ready to shoulder responsibilities with the world in the new era," he said.
