He asked the Chamber to raise its capacity and overcome limitations and shortcomings to better perform its role and tasks, thus contributing more to national economic development.
The VCCI and the business circle should make greater efforts to promote the Vietnamese brand in the international market, and expand cooperation with international partners for mutual successes, the state leader suggested.
Each businessperson should be well aware of their role in the great national unity bloc, and strengthen solidarity and collaboration with workers, farmers, and intellectuals, he said, noting that the present difficulties should be opportunities for enterprises and businesspeople to grow stronger.
VCCI President Pham Tan Cong recalled the formation and development of the Chamber whose network now covers more than 200,000 enterprises and over 200 associations nationwide.
The VCCI will continue with policy activities and play a more active role in perfecting the institutional environment to nurture and develop Vietnamese businesspeople and enterprises, he said.
It will further support businesspeople and enterprises, and build a code of ethics for them and business culture, helping them position themselves in the international business community, Cong said.
On this occasion, the VCCI made public a council of Vietnam’s leading businesses with 21 members, which will work to boost the development of big Vietnamese firms, expand cooperation, both domestically and internationally, and uphold the role of leading enterprises in the development of sectors and agencies, and in guiding small- and medium-sized enterprises.
