According to Bao Nghe An, the official newspaper of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, on Oct. 15, a delegation led by Nguyen Khac Than, secretary of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, visited Sono Trinity Group and met with Chairman Suh during their visit to Korea from Oct. 13 to 16. Secretary Than also serves as a member of the Party Central Committee and head of the provincial National Assembly delegation. The article did not specify the date or location of the meeting.
Secretary Than highly praised Sono for starting in construction and expanding into hotels, resorts, golf, entertainment, and aviation. He said Sono's business direction aligns with Nghe An's tourism potential and expressed his desire to establish a long-term strategic partnership.
The four cooperation areas proposed by Nghe An Province are: a marine tourism, resort, and entertainment complex in the Cua Lo-Dien Chau area; cultural and recreational tourism products in Kim Lien, the hometown of President Ho Chi Minh; an eco-resort and wellness model in western Nghe An; and joint development of the Korean tourist market linking aviation, hotels, and tourism.
Chairman Suh responded that he would closely review the cooperation opportunities and actively consider participating in projects within the province. However, specific agreements such as investment scale, timeline, or signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) were not confirmed.
Sono introduced that it operates approximately 10,000 rooms across 17 locations in Korea. It also said it is pursuing a tourism ecosystem that connects aviation, hotels, and retail in the Asia-Pacific region.
