At the meeting, Mr. Noriaki Koyanma, on behalf of Fast Retailing Group, reported on Uniqlo's business performance in Vietnam in the past time and the Group's investment and development plans in Vietnam in the coming time. Accordingly, since its presence in Vietnam in 2019, Fast Retailing has kept its initial commitment to develop the system in Vietnam in parallel with increasing production and developing domestic human resources. In particular, since 2018, Fast Retailing has established a scholarship fund to support research, technology development, human resource development and support for the disadvantaged in society. Since 2022, many Vietnamese students have been granted scholarships and trained in Japan from this fund.
Deputy Minister Phan Thi Thang highly appreciated Uniqlo's contributions and efforts in Vietnam over the past 5 years. The Group has fulfilled its commitments and created favorable conditions for Vietnamese enterprises. Deputy Minister Phan Thi Thang hopes that in the coming time, Uniqlo will continue to accompany and support Vietnamese small and medium enterprises in improving production capacity and orienting product development in accordance with Uniqlo's standards in particular and the world's textile and garment industry in general. Deputy Minister Phan Thi Thang suggested that Uniqlo should closely coordinate with the Ministry of Industry and Trade in the coming time to jointly research and find solutions to promote the Vietnamese fashion industry.
At the end of the meeting, the two sides agreed to continue to discuss in more detail the possibility of cooperation between the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Fast Retailing Group as well as Uniqlo in the coming time to develop the Vietnamese garment industry to meet the requirements and standards not only at Uniqlo but also globally.
