He suggested Amazon further leverage its strengths and positive track record in Vietnam and continue serving as an important partner in following the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on breakthroughs in sci-tech, innovation and digital transformation, making practical contributions to data infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI) and quality workforce training in Vietnam.

On this occasion, Zapolsky expressed sincere thanks to the Vietnamese Party and State leaders for their support of Amazon’s operations over the past decade, voicing his confidence in Vietnam’s development potential and its clear strategic goals and policy directions.
