Regarding the real estate & services pillar, JTA Investment Qatar is exploring investment opportunities in Vinpearl's managed and operated five-star hotels, resorts and amusement parks clusters, which are prominently situated in Vietnam's prime tourist areas.

Furthermore, JTA Investment Qatar and Vingroup are actively pursuing the establishment of joint ventures to expand and enhance Vinpearl's service offerings (including hotels & resorts, amusement parks and golf courses), particularly in unique and high-growth tourism markets where Vinpearl maintains a strong market presence.

Under the MOU, the companies will engage in discussions to define their future collaboration in pursuing mutually beneficial objectives.

JTA Investment Qatar will leverage its investment expertise, financial resources, and extensive partner network to facilitate capital deployment for Vingroup's strategic business segments, including VinFast and Vinpearl.

Concurrently, Vingroup will contribute its operational expertise, execution capabilities, domestic market leadership, and global market potential to optimize shared value and achieve the strategic opportunities and missions of both entities in technology, infrastructure, and tourism sectors.

Dr. Amir Ali Salemi, Founder and CEO of JTA Investment Qatar, said, "By leveraging our expertise and resources within the energy, technology, infrastructure, and tourism sectors, we are thrilled to contribute to the advancement of Vingroup's strategic objectives and promising business areas, with a particular emphasis on VinFast and Vinpearl. This collaboration will generate mutually beneficial business opportunities and facilitate Vingroup's strategic expansion into international markets."

Leveraging the combined strengths of Vingroup's ecosystem and local expertise with JTA Investment Qatar's experience and resources, we anticipate successful projects that foster sustainable progress, technological innovation in key sectors like electric vehicles and tourism, contributing to the greater good."

Building upon its established domestic success, Vingroup continues to pursue global expansion, notably through VinFast's strategic entry into key markets across North America, Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
