At the meeting, both sides expressed their appreciation for the longstanding cooperation and partnership between Vinacomin and Caterpillar, as well as Phu Thai CAT, Caterpillar's official authorized dealer in Vietnam, recognizing their relationship as a traditional and trusted partnership.
During the meeting, Vinacomin proposed that Caterpillar study and consider more appropriate and competitive policies for the Vietnamese market. The two sides should balance short-term and long-term considerations so that Caterpillar products can participate in bidding processes with greater competitiveness, thereby contributing to maintaining Caterpillar's position in the Vietnamese market and promoting bilateral trade cooperation.
Vinacomin also proposed that Caterpillar consider enhancing its warranty, maintenance and after-sales service policies in northern Vietnam, particularly in Quang Ninh, where Vinacomin's enterprises are concentrated and engaged in coal mining and processing. This would help ensure that machinery and equipment remain ready for operation, minimizing disruptions that could affect production.
