This year, the company will continue to build and complete a series of projects in Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai, Binh Thuan, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau provinces, including The Grand Manhattan, Aqua Vity, Novaworld Ho Tram, and Novaworld Phan Thiet.

During the upcoming AGM, the board of directors will submit a resignation letter from board member Nguyen Tran Dang Phuoc and propose electing another board member. The board consists of five people, including two independent members.
