According to Kuek, Netflix distributes movies and TV series (mainly US productions) and television programs (TV shows) with purely entertaining contents, with no advertisement or content created by users.
 
He also proposed signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Netflix and the Ministry of Information and Communications on buying Vietnamese films to broadcast on the network, co-operating in manpower training and exporting Vietnamese movies.

At the meeting, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung stressed that when it comes to doing business in Vietnam, foreign enterprises are compelled to abide by the country’s law.
 
Besides distributing Vietnamese films, Hung suggested Netflix to work with local movie makers to create more motion pictures, which may respond to the Vietnamese audiences entertaining demand as well as that of Netflix subscribers worldwide.
