Saigon Co.op names new chairman

Khoa, 39, joined the company in 2021 as its secretary of party committee. Prior to that, he was the deputy secretary of HCMC’s District 10 party committee.

"I look forward to helping Saigon Co.op stabilize, thrive, and retain its role as the leading retailer in Vietnam", he said.

Khoa will take over the company right after it faces legal issues relating to capital contribution and acquisition. His predecessor, Diep Dung, was arrested and prosecuted on allegations of abusing power.
