Then the NIAEP - ASE delegation will meet management of engineering companies PECC1 and PECC2 and will visit their production facilities. - During the first day of our visit we plan to define the main works in NPP and CNST construction projects where Vietnamese companies could also collaborate as subcontractors, - says Valery Limarenko, - We think localization (involvement of local suppliers, manufacturers and construction companies) is very important. On 9th February there will be meetings with representatives of Viet Nam construction complex and representatives of the SRV government – management of Ministry of Industry and Trade and Ministry of Science and Technology. Representatives of the SRV government will be informed on plans of the Russia party concerning involvement of Vietnamese companies in subcontracting for NPP and CNST construction.
