After meeting with Hans Vestberg, Samsung Chairman Lee said, “Let’s do the business that everyone does better than anyone else and do the business that no one can do before anyone else.” Verizon maintains close cooperation with Samsung across product categories, including networking equipment, smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets.

In 2020, Samsung Networks, Samsung Electronics' business arm that develops telecommunication hardware and software, received its biggest-ever contract worth KRW 7.9 trillion ($5.78 billion) from Verizon Communications. Thanks to this contract, Samsung Networks successfully entered the 5G networking business in the US.

During his trip to the US, he was joined by Samsung MX President TM Roh, Samsung Networks CEO Kim Woo-jun, and President, and Choi Gyeong-sik, CEO of Samsung Electronics North America.
