E.N. Golm, Director of Business Development at Novatek, highlighted the company's existing involvement in Vietnam's energy sector. She mentioned a 1.5 GW power plant project currently underway in Ca Na, the south central province of Ninh Thuan, which is being developed by a consortium of contractors, including Novatek alongside Zarubezhneft, Total, and Siemens.

Golm expressed Novatek's strong interest in expanding its presence in Vietnam's LNG market, beyond just the Ca Na project. The company sees Vietnam's growing natural gas market as an attractive opportunity, she said.

Tan welcomed Novatek's interest and provided additional information to guide the company's LNG investment projects in Vietnam. He expected that Novatek would expedite the completion of Ca Na power plant project as soon as possible.
