Hanoi (VNA) – Viettel Global Investment JSC (Viettel Global), a subsidiary of military-run Viettel Group, is rapidly expanding its international presence, achieving an average annual revenue growth rate of 20% over the past decade, four to five times higher than the global telecom industry average (according to Gartner).

General Director Nguyen Thi Hoa said the company currently operates in 10 countries across three continents, serving over 90 million customers. Viettel Global holds the No.1 market position in seven of these markets.

Beyond telecom services, it is spearheading digital transformation initiatives in its overseas markets, with a focus on digital services, fintech, and e-wallet solutions. In 2024, its e-wallet segment recorded a strong 57% growth.

Recognised as one of Vietnam’s most internationally influential enterprises, Viettel Global serves as a key bridge that elevates the national brand and global standing of Vietnam.

Hoa emphasised that the company’s overseas investment strategy goes beyond seeking new growth opportunities.

She noted that it’s a process of sharing experience, transferring technology, promoting economic development, and improving living standards in the countries where we invest. Viettel is committed to impactful corporate social responsibility programmes.
