During a site visit to the 6-star Fairmont Hanoi Hotel and the high-end Vinhomes Ocean Park 2 residential complex, both being developed by Central, Minister Tzur praised the safety of the construction site, the skill of the workers, and the quality of the materials, calling the work atmosphere 'vibrant'.

"This highlights Central’s position in Vietnam’s construction market and showcases its strategic global development vision. I believe Central is ready to expand internationally, starting with Israel," said Tzur.

Israel Uzan, director general of the Israeli Ministry of Labour, also highly appreciated the execution speed, adherence to deadlines, construction quality, and safety commitment.

"The value Central brings to Vietnam’s construction sector will surely be welcomed in international markets, such as Israel," said Uzan.

Beyond projects, the high-level meeting laid the foundation for a long-term cooperation deal, deploying skilled Vietnamese engineers and workers to Israel. This initiative will create development opportunities for Vietnamese workers while meeting Israel’s need for high-quality workers.

With a young, disciplined, and technically skilled workforce, Vietnam is expected to become a labour source supporting Israel’s long-term development.

To set up a foundation for a long-term relationship, Central’s leadership team, in close coordination with the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel, have conducted extensive field surveys in Israel. These visits focused on assessing living conditions, housing, and working environments for the Vietnamese workforce. The goal is not only to provide optimal support, but also to create a safe, professional environment where Vietnamese talent can thrive.

This dedicated preparation underscores Central’s deep commitment to safeguarding workers' rights and enhancing the quality of life, while also reflecting the company’s global vision and sense of responsibility on the international stage.

Central’s selection by the Israeli government is more than recognition of a company’s capability, it’s testament to the stature of Vietnamese enterprises in fields demanding world-class standards and competence.
