Receiving Alexander Koch, the newly-appointed managing director of Heineken Vietnam Brewery Ltd. Co. in Hanoi on June 24, Chung congratulated the company on its effective operations in 2019 and voiced his support for the company’s business strategy in Vietnam.

The mayor briefed his guest on the capital’s socio-economic development in recent times, saying despite the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, Hanoi has achieved a gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth of 3.9% in the first six months of the year. Thanks to epidemic control efforts, people's lives and economic activities have gradually returned to normal.

At the meeting, CEO Koch hailed Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular for their initial success in containing the epidemic, as well as the capital’s recent rapid development.

Koch stressed that his firm has set long-term sustainable goals in its development strategy, by caring for the people and preserving the planet towards common prosperity for a better Vietnam.
