Also in attendance were Mr. Vo Van Minh - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee (PPC) and leaders of some departments, committees and branches.
At the meeting, on behalf of LEGO Group leaders, Mr. Edward LEWIN thanked the Government of Vietnam and the authorities of Binh Duong province for creating maximum favorable conditions for the Group during the project implementation. In particular, the PPC and other departments and branches have fulfilled their commitment to complete land procedures for the Group to implement the next steps of the project. He hoped that the province would continue to support the completion of the procedures for granting a construction permit because it has not been approved for fire prevention and fighting. In addition, the connection and construction of 110kV power station, deployment of solar power, etc. are also issues LEGO cares about and wishes the province to support to complete as soon as possible. Currently, Lego has set up an office in Binh Duong province to recruit personnel and labor to be ready to go into operation in August 2024.
