SpaceX is proposing to invest $1.5 billion in Vietnam tied to its Starlink satellite service in the near future, the government said, citing a meeting between the company’s senior vice president Tim Hughes and the Communist Party’s General Secretary To Lam.

Lam, who was visiting the US to attend the United Nations General Assembly, said Vietnam was reviewing the proposal, according to a statement on the website of the country’s National Assembly, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

SpaceX didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment after normal US working hours. Government officials in Vietnam weren’t immediately available for comment, according to the report.

Vietnam’s government said last year that SpaceX was interested in providing the country with its low-Earth orbit satellite service. Earlier this year, however, Reuters reported that those plans were put on hold.

According to the Vietnamese statement, Lam told Elon Musk’s Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX that uses thousands of satellites to provide web access, that the nation will coordinate with domestic partners to complete investment procedures, the report added.

Lam, who met with US President Joe Biden, also held meetings with major companies, including Boeing Co and Meta Platforms Inc. He and Biden discussed opportunities for the US and Vietnam to advance cooperation in economic and technology issues.

According to the government statement, Karan Bhatia, Google’s vice president for government affairs and public policy, told Lam the Silicon Valley company expects to work with Vietnam to develop artificial intelligence technology, cloud computing and increasing collaboration cybersecurity.

Last year, Starlink introduced its services in Malaysia, marking the 60th country around the world where the company provides satellite high-speed Internet service.
