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.
