Ericsson Group encouraged to develop 6G in Vietnam

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met with Mr. Börje Ekholm,  President and CEO of Ericsson Group,  in Stockholm on June 13 as part of his official visit to Sweden from June 11-13, according to a report from the Government News.

During the meeting, the Vietnamese Prime Minister suggested that the Ericsson Group support Vietnam in developing next-generation networks like 5G and 6G and building a database for AI development.

The PM expressed hope that the Swedish group would remain a trusted partner of Vietnam for the next 50 to 100 years, embracing a spirit of joint research, shared knowledge, collaborative action, mutual benefits, shared success, and co-development — all grounded in harmonized interests, shared risks, and healthy competition to foster innovation.

In response, Mr. Börje Ekholm praised Vietnam's commitment and the Prime Minister's personal efforts in driving the country's digital transformation. "Vietnam is among the first countries to successfully commercialize 5G, supported by highly capable telecom and technology enterprises," he noted.

The CEO said Ericsson looks forward to continuing cooperation with Vietnam in deploying 5G, accelerating digital transformation, and advancing Industry 4.0 to boost economic growth and innovation. Ericsson will also continue to work with Vietnamese partners in personnel exchange, the rollout of 5G-related services, and is ready to deploy 6G in the future.
