Mr. Francisco Gomes Neto warmly congratulated Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on his official visit to Brazil and thanked the Prime Minister for taking the time to visit the group, highly appreciating the potential of the Vietnamese market, suitable for the group's available aircraft lines, especially suitable for short flights and not too large number of passengers.

Vietnam now has many operating airlines and has greater potential for development.

The Prime Minister highly appreciated Embraer's commercial aircraft products in terms of operational safety and environmental friendliness; he said that the group's new generation commercial aircraft can be a solution to help Vietnamese airlines develop their aircraft fleet while ensuring operational efficiency and flight safety.

Expressing his belief in a more open future for aviation trade between Vietnam and Brazil, the Prime Minister suggested that Embraer expand cooperation and investment to develop the group's business ecosystem in Vietnam.

In addition to continuing to contact and discuss with Vietnamese airlines to seek opportunities for cooperation, business and research to participate in providing aircraft maintenance and repair services, the Prime Minister suggested that the group participate in training human resources in the aviation industry, provide short and long-term professional training courses for officials in the Vietnamese aviation industry, support Vietnam with technological solutions to help improve management capacity in the aviation sector, increase automation, support forecasting and prevent risks in flight management activities.
