In 2024, the group identified many advantages ahead. Opportunities opened up, especially in the high-tech sector. Foreign affairs trips by the Government, the Prime Minister , and delegations to Vietnam of large foreign enterprises show that many opportunities were ahead.

However, according to Mr. Thang, besides opportunities there will be challenges, so how to ensure effective business development is something we are particularly concerned about.

To have growth, there must be investment, so in 2024, Viettel's leaders said they will boldly invest a lot in infrastructure, such as transportation infrastructure, digital infrastructure... In particular, 2024 will be a year of major transition when by September, 2G waves will be turned off, only 4G and 5G waves will be available. This enterprise will deploy 5G coverage nationally.

active, Viettel will invest nearly 30,000 billion VND to boost frequencies including connection systems to remote areas.

In particular, Viettel will strengthen international cooperation, focusing on building large data centers so that large enterprises such as Amazon and Microsoft can place data centers in Vietnam.

"The synchronous deployment of 4G and 5G wireless network infrastructure to cover remote areas requires the support of authorities at all levels, provincial, district and commune People's Committees. Strengthening propaganda to the people, so that people understand and accompanying the transition from 2G to 4G", Mr. Thang said, adding that only then can it be deployed synchronously, helping Vietnam become a country with modern digital infrastructure in the near future.
