Established in Hong Kong in 1957, Sunwah’s presence in Vietnam has grown with the country’s economic ascent, from iconic real estate ventures in Ho Chi Minh City to diverse investments in financial services, coffee trading, seafood, and agriculture. Through VinaCapital of which I am the Chairman, we have also invested in renewable energy, healthcare, and hospitality.
