In his remarks, Dr. Nguyễn Quốc Hùng expressed his pleasure at being able to discuss direction for future cooperation with Huawei, especially in research, training, and technology transfer to Vietnam’s banking sector. He noted that toward the end of October 2025, VNBA plans to organize a working delegation of about 40 representatives from banks and member organizations to visit China. The focus will be on three priority areas: digital transformation in banking operations; fintech technology solutions; and information security, including fraud prevention.
Dr. Nguyễn Quốc Hùng emphasized that with Huawei’s global experience and ICT infrastructure network, the company is a promising partner to provide security, risk management, and technology solutions to Vietnam’s banking system. VNBA said it would move quickly to develop an action plan to connect Huawei with member institutions, facilitating experience-sharing, planning technology infrastructure development—especially in digital transformation and cybersecurity in banking—and seeking appropriate cooperation models for the future.
During the meeting, Huawei representatives shared an overview of the group’s scale and development orientation. Founded in China in 1987, Huawei now employs about 208,000 people globally, operating across three main pillars: consumer devices, telecommunications, and enterprise solutions, while expanding into smart mobility, cloud computing, and digital energy. Worldwide, Huawei serves over one billion users and collaborates with more than 36 million business customers. In 2024, the corporation invested 179 billion RMB in research and development (R&D), accounting for 20.8% of total revenue, placing it among the top 6 global R&D investors for eight consecutive years.

With an open‐exchange mindset, Huawei representatives expressed their wish to seek opportunities to collaborate with Vietnamese banks and credit organizations through VNBA.
