Addressing the ceremony, PM Phuc asked the newly-appointed PetroVietnam head to fulfil his assigned tasks. The leader requested PetroVietnam to fast-track the implementation of key national projects, and cut spending and wastefulness in a number of member units and improve productivity.
In 2017, PetroVietnam’s total turnover exceeded the target by 13.8% and the group contributes 20-25% to the state budget annually.
