Aeon Mall is currently operating six projects in Vietnam, including two malls in Hanoi's Long Bien and Ha Dong districts. It plans to launch 16 more projects in Vietnam by 2025.

Tetsuyuki said he hopes Hanoi will continue its support so the Aeon Mall Hoang Mai project can begin construction in the third quarter. The firm has also requested the city to support the establishment of another Aeon Mall project in Bac Tu Liem District.

Hanoi Party Secretary Dinh Tien Dung said the capital would improve its investment environment and streamline policies to attract investments from both inside and outside Vietnam. He said Hanoi was attentive to support the Aeon Mall Hoang Mai project, and would request relevant agencies to cooperate with Bac Tu Liem authorities.

Hanoi deputy chairman of Nguyen Manh Quyen said he would request relevant authorities to complete legal procedures regarding the Aeon Mall Hoang Mai project so construction can begin as planned. Regarding the Bac Tu Liem project, Quyen said the proposed location has been earmarked for a park, so the city will request authorities to propose another location for it.
