The delegation was warmly received by Mr. Wang Shudong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of Directors of China Coal.

In his welcome remarks, Chairman Wang Shudong expressed his pleasure in receiving President & CEO Vu Anh Tuan and the TKV delegation. He gave an overview of China Coal’s development journey, core business areas, and remarkable achievements in technological innovation and clean, efficient coal production.

According to Chairman Wang, China Coal is a key central state-owned enterprise under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council of China.

Originating from the China National Coal Import and Export Corporation established in 1982, China Coal’s main business areas include: coal mining, processing, trade, and services; power and heat generation; coal-based new materials and chemical production; equipment manufacturing; and engineering & technical services.

Currently, China Coal holds or manages over 70 billion tonnes of coal reserves, operates 69 coal mines either in production or under construction with a total capacity of 310 million tonnes per year, and trades around 400 million tonnes of coal annually.

The Group is also developing 11 coal-chemical projects with a combined capacity exceeding 20 million tonnes, producing key products such as polyolefins, methanol, urea, ammonium nitrate, and metallurgical coke.

In addition, China Coal operates or is constructing 35 thermal power projects with a total installed capacity of 47.55 million kW, including 7 million kW of renewable energy.

As of June 2025, the Group’s total assets exceeded RMB 600 billion.

Chairman Wang Shudong emphasized that China Coal is steadfastly implementing its strategy of transformation, reform, and innovation, driving industrial upgrading and promoting an integrated development model of “coal–power–chemical–new energy”, aiming toward green and low-carbon growth.

He noted that the Group is advancing the application of clean coal technologies across the entire project lifecycle and value chain.

He affirmed that, given the strengths and experience of both sides, China Coal and TKV could deepen cooperation in areas such as green and smart mine development, low-carbon technologies, advanced mining equipment, and intelligent mining solutions, thereby contributing to regional energy security and sustainable development.

In his remarks, President & CEO Vu Anh Tuan expressed his delight in leading the TKV delegation to visit and work with China Coal, and conveyed sincere thanks for the warm and respectful reception by the host, especially Chairman Wang Shudong, who, despite his busy schedule, took time to meet the delegation and share valuable insights on corporate management and coal industry development.

Mr. Vu Anh Tuan highly appreciated China Coal’s development model, while sharing information on TKV’s production and business operations, strategic directions, and long-term development goals.

He noted that the visit took place on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and China, a time when strengthening cooperation between the two countries’ state-owned enterprises is being strongly encouraged by both governments, as reflected in the Vietnam–China Joint Statement.

The TKV President & CEO emphasized that enhancing cooperation between the two groups would not only bring practical benefits to both enterprises but also contribute to deepening and strengthening Vietnam–China economic cooperation more substantively and effectively.

He expressed confidence that this meeting would mark a new beginning, opening up broader opportunities for future collaboration, particularly in digital transformation, automation, and smart mine development.

At the conclusion of the meeting, President & CEO Vu Anh Tuan, on behalf of the TKV delegation, extended an invitation to Chairman Wang Shudong and the leadership of China Coal to visit and work with TKV in Vietnam in the near future, to further exchange ideas, finalize cooperation plans, and strengthen the partnership between the two groups./.
