THE VIETNAMESE business community is known as a group of hard-working and creative people, but linkages among the community’s members and connections between the business community and authorities are not developed enough to internationally integrate and
Opening the fifth CEO Forum 2016 with the theme: Linking Viet Strengths – Time to Walk the Talk”, HCM City’s Party General Secretary Dinh La Thang said “The city authorities welcome all development contributions from the business community and investors, and pledge to promote innovation for a better business environment.”
At the forum, the secretary asked the business community: “How can you connect with local authorities in order to create better, more transparent and fair policies for the healthy development of businesses?”
Referring to connections among local authorities and the business community, Nguyen Thanh Phong, chairman of HCM City People’s Committee, admitted that somewhere, somehow the connection was weak, but he confirmed that local authorities would like to support the business community with detailed policies and activities.
“The responsibility of the authorities is to create policies and the responsibility of businesses is to maximise the advantages of these policies,” Phong said.
Lawyer Truong Trong Nghia, a member of the Government Advisory Lawyer Board, stressed that local businesses must unite immediately to compete well in the context of deeper international integration.
