Good morning everyone. I am an industry researcher in Japan. I have been studying the Vietnamese steel industry for seven years. Recently my Japanese book titled the “Structure and dynamism of the iron and steel industry in east Asia” was published. There is one chapter about Vietnam. I think I could give a correct explanation of the Vietnamese steel industry to reader in Japan. But the situation changes day by day. So I should revise my chapter based on the latest information. Today I make a presentation on the promotion policy for the Vietnamese steel industry. I will write a research paper in English based on this presentation and your comments to it.
