VCCI continues to represent Vietnamese business community
(VOV) - The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) will continue to serve as the voice of the business community.
It will consult on policy development in the hopes of perfecting the socially-oriented market economy and ensuring an equitable, transparent business environment.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan stated the above at an April 26 ceremony in Hanoi, marking the 50th anniversary of the VCCI’s establishment as the national representative body for entrepreneurs, associations, employers and the Vietnamese business community.
Deputy PM Nhan affirmed the VCCI’s important role in the country’s development. He asked the VCCI to continue to monitor the Party’s and State’s business orientations— especially in relation to the political bureau’s resolution No 9 on developing a contingent of Vietnamese businesses.
The VCCI has expanded its consulting activities on behalf of the Party and State for issues including economic development, business development, international integration, and economic competitive capacity.
Nhan urged the VCCI to continue coordinating with relevant government agencies on furthering administrative reform, fine-tuning the domestic business environment, and providing businesses with the support necessary for success.
The VCCI has more than 11,000 direct members, over 100,000 indirect members, and represents the diverse interests of a range of economic sectors. It has actively contributed to policy-making, helping to establish the Vietnamese business environment’s legal foundations through legislation like the Law on Enterprises and Law on Investment.
The VCCI has also co-chaired major economic dialogue forums inside and outside the country.
