Khai also praised the company’s launch of its R&D center in Hanoi last month, which is Samsung’s biggest such facility in Southeast Asia.

Park said that he has traveled to Vietnam more than 20 times to look for investment opportunities.

"For the last 10 years, every time I look back, I think that investing in a factory in Thai Nguyen Province was a wise choice," said Park, referring to the northern locality where Samsung placed its key smartphone manufacturing plant.
