Vietnamese Business Association debuts in Australia
(VOV) - An Australian chapter of the Vietnamese Business Association was recently launched aiming to serve as an economic bridge between the business communities of the two countries.
Speaking at the launching ceremony in Sydney, Vietnam Ambassador to Australia Le Thanh Nghi unveiled the newly established association’s 12-member executive board, noting Mr Le Huu Canh was elected as head of the chapter and VBAA Vice President.
The VBAA is expected to continue to set up three additional chapters in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide in the coming time, Ambassador Nghi said.
Nghi affirmed the move evidences that the Overseas Vietnamese (OVs) community in Australia is an influential and driving force in the Australian business community, helping to create opportunities for OVs entrepreneurs to successfully operate businesses in the host country for the mutual benefit of both nations.
VBAA President Tran Ba Phuc in turn acknowledged the significant contributions of the large OVs community living in Sydney, the leading trade city of Australia.
He emphasised the formation of the chapter should greatly assist in meeting the increasing demand of the Vietnamese community both at home and abroad for the expansion of business operations in Australia.
