Apple CEO Tim Cook arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 15th to begin a two-day working trip to Vietnam to study the possibility of expanding Apple’s cooperation with Vietnam.
Interaction with local Vietnam
Cook will have a busy schedule during his visit to Vietnam, including meeting with several Vietnamese content creators and programmers.
Meeting with students, programmers, and customers not only helps Apple better understand market needs but also demonstrates the tech giant’s interest in supporting and nurturing local talent.

Apple in Vietnam
According to the local online newspaper VietnamNet, he will also meet with users of Apple products to better understand how they use them.
Last May, Apple opened an online shop in Vietnam, for the first time allowing local consumers to buy any Apple product directly.
Apple is expected to announce plans to deploy Apple Stores in Vietnam during Tim Cook’s visit and provide better after-sales service and technical support to Vietnamese customers.
Vietnam’s digital economy is booming
During his meeting with the then President Vo Van Thuong in San Francisco, last November for the APEC Leaders’ Week, Cook said Vietnam is part of Apple’s special business strategy, as several of Apple’s products are manufactured in this Southeast Asian country, including the Macbook, Ipad, and Apple Watch.
He believes Vietnam’s digital economy is booming, with many of the world’s leading electronics and technology companies, including the US, increasingly investing in production and operations in the country.
