The targets were set at a recent Viettel Global Investment Joint Stock Company shareholders’ meeting.
It will also invest in building infrastructure in Myanmar, where it will take part in a joint venture with two local companies to deliver telecom services.
This year, the company hopes for total revenue of nearly US$1.5 billion in eight markets (excluding Peru and Vietnam), representing a growth of 12.4% and combined pre-tax profits of US$51.4 million, equivalent to 90% of the 2015 figure.
Viettel now operates in Vietnam and other nine countries in Asia, Africa and South America with 85 million clients. It earned US$1.4 billion in revenue in foreign markets in 2015. In Tanzania, its brand Halotel attracted 1 million users in only three months of operation.
