(HBO) – On the occasion of the Vietnam Entrepreneurs’ Day (October 13), Nguyen Cao Son, Chairman of the Business Association of Hoa Binh province, has granted an interview to Hoa Binh Newspaper, talking about notable contributions by the association as well as efforts by its members to weather the COVID-19 pandemic and help achieve the "twin targets”.
Members
of the provincial Business Association make donations in cash and in kind worth
tens of billions of VND to the fight against COVID-19.
Son said the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic
and its complex developments have greatly affected enterprises nationwide,
including those in Hoa Binh. It could be said that the province has succeeded
in bringing the outbreak under control. Authorities at all levels and sectors have
also carried out different solutions to assist and tackle problems facing
businesses and investors.
Apart from learning about its members’
aspirations and encouraging them to overcome difficulties, the business
association has also listened to their opinions so as to report to relevant
agencies and provincial leaders.
The association has effectively coordinated with
the provincial inspectorate while working with authorities to organise the
"Entrepreneurs’ Cafe” programme, where enterprises meet provincial leaders,
departments, and sectors to seek solutions to their problems. As a result,
obstacles to businesses and investors have been tackled and the local business
climate has been improved.
He held that the typical feature of Vietnamese
entrepreneurs and businesses, including those in Hoa Binh, is their national
pride, patriotism, and social responsibility. It is evidenced by their
donations in cash and in kind worth tens of billions of VND, along with their
charity programmes helping with the COVID-19 combat.
Son said the business association consists of 16
chapters operating in all 10 district-level localities in Hoa Binh. To help its
members recover, maintain, and expand operations, it will continue working to
have a good grasp of their production and business situation, including
advantages and difficulties, to report to authorities and submit proposals so
as to help create a favourable environment for the development of enterprises.
The association will also increase dialogues
between State agencies and companies to facilitate businesses’ recovery and
expansion, thereby actively contributing to the local economic development and
the realisation of the resolution adopted at the 17th provincial Party Congress
for the 2020 - 2025 tenure, he added./.
