The statement was made about three months after the first
positive case was confirmed (January 22), marking a turning point in the global
fight against the pandemic, it said.
Vietnam is among the most successful countries in curbing
the disease, it wrote. The country’s population is close to 100 million but it

COVID-19 has early earned strong trust from global investors, it said. Samsung
