The statement was made by Finance Minister Dinh Tien Dung, who is on a working visit to Japan, at a meeting with leaders and officials of FPT Japan in Tokyo on August 23. 

During the meeting, he highly valued FPT Japan’s performance over the past time. The company not only earns USD 150 million in revenue a year but also provides some 800 jobs to Vietnamese and Japanese workers.

FPT Japan has been urged to contribute more to the Vietnamese IT sector as the world is entering the fourth industry revolution and there is not yet a “chief of staff” in the field of information technology for Vietnam.

Mr. Dinh Tien Dung said the information technology (IT) application development in the financial sector of Vietnam has been deployed and accelerated and the Ministry of Finance has secured the top place in Vietnam ICT Index among central agencies in four straight years. The Ministry of Finance is making a determination to build e-government and FPT has made significant contributions which are highly appreciated.

Tran Dang Hoa, Director of FPT Japan, briefed the minister on his company’s operation with four offices in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. The company will open a research centre in Okinawa. 

FPT Japan wishes to share experience and knowledge on IT and business environment obtained in Japan and contribute more to the homeland.
