According to EVN’s leadership, as Vietnam’s power system enters a phase requiring higher standards of operational safety, cost optimization, and energy transition adaptation, learning from TNB’s practical experience is of great importance, especially in centralized procurement, grid management, and workforce quality enhancement.

EVN attaches great importance to its cooperation with TNB and expressed the desire to maintain regular exchanges and develop concrete collaborative programs suited to the needs and conditions of both sides, aiming for mutual and sustainable benefits.

This working session marked a step toward the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between EVN and TNB in May 2025, contributing to deepening mutual understanding and strengthening the foundation for long-term cooperation in areas where both sides have complementary strengths, toward the shared goal of building a stable, modern, and sustainable power system.
