AEON is one of the world’s largest retail trading groups with 179 joint ventures inside and outside Japan. This investor is interested in and researching the development of the Aeon Mall trade project in the period of 2024-2025 in Bac Ninh province with a total expected investment capital of 190 million USD.
The CEO of Aeon Mall Vietnam shared that recently, Aeon Mall Hue has just opened and welcomed more than 330,000 visitors within just 6 days. This is the 7th center of Aeon in Vietnam but the first commercial center of Aeon Mall in the Central region. The company is very pleased with this impressive start and looks forward to contributing to the socio-economic development of Thua Thien Hue province as well as Vietnam.
Presenting the company’s long-term business plan in Vietnam, he said that they have received the Investment Registration Certificate for the Aeon Mall Center in Ha Long city (Quang Ninh) and Thanh Hoa city, and the company is trying to complete the necessary procedures to soon implement these projects.
He believes that with the company’s efforts, along with the support of the Vietnamese Government, ministries, and local authorities, Aeon will reap further success. In the future, the company will continue to promote other projects in Vietnam, including finding a location to invest in Bac Ninh soon.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh appreciated the investment and business activities of Aeon Mall in Vietnam, which contributes to strengthening the connection between the two economies of Vietnam and Japan. He affirmed that the Vietnamese Government supports the business of Aeon Mall.
Welcoming Aeon Mall’s investment in Ha Long (Quang Ninh) and Thanh Hoa, the Prime Minister affirmed his efforts to support the company to start these projects in 2024 because these two localities have great potential, are key tourist destinations, have a large population, and have a fairly high per capita income. The areas of Hue and Da Nang, where Aeon Mall has and is expected to invest, are also major tourist centers with great potential for service development.
The Prime Minister suggested that the company could consider investing in Khanh Hoa, the Central Highlands (Dak Lak, Gia Lai), Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Nghe An, etc., as these are places that connect the supply chain from Vietnam to Japan and vice versa through Aeon.
In addition, the Prime Minister welcomed that through this investment, Aeon can increase job creation for the Vietnamese labor force. The Prime Minister affirmed that he is ready to create all favorable conditions to support Aeon Mall’s business in Vietnam.
At the conference, Bac Ninh province handed over a Memorandum of Understanding on researching and developing the Aeon Mall trade project in the 2024-2025 period in Bac Ninh province, with a total expected investment capital of 190 million USD, to Aeon Mall Vietnam Co., Ltd.
