TCL revealed the information at a meeting with Quang Ninh People’s Committee to explore investment and cooperation opportunities at the province’s industrial parks.
Additionally, TCL’s secondary investors are considering projects producing parts and accessories in Dong Mai industrial park, which is also the location of the Chinese firm’s two upcoming projects.
Chairman of Quang Ninh People’s Committee Nguyen Van Thang said the province would create favorable conditions for TCL and its secondary investors to carry out projects.
However, Quang Ninh maintains its stance of not attracting foreign investment at all costs, but promoting selective FDI projects towards sustainable development and environmental protection, Thang added.
The province, thus, prioritizes over projects using advanced and environmental friendly technologies, he continued.
TCL was established in 1981 and made its first presence in Vietnam in 1999. The electronics firm currently has 22 production bases worldwide, employing 75,000 people and operating in 160 markets.
