At the same time, the VCCI should make more contributions to institutional reform and business environment improvement,while making best use of business development support programmes, strengthening high technology application for higher productivity, fostering connections among enterprises and paying greater attention to small and medium-sized as well as women-led enterprises, he said.

The Government leader also requested ministries, sectors and localities to continue coordinating closely with and assisting the VCCI to effectively implement its activities for a stronger business community in the future.

During the two-day congress, participants agreed on six major tasks and solutions for the VCCI in the time to come, including promoting the building of a favourable business environment, pioneering in forming Vietnam’s business culture, building and reinforcing public confidence in Vietnamese businesses and products, and accelerating digital transformation among enterprises. They elected an executive board with 93 members representing nearly 200,000 firms and more than 220 business associations across the country. They also agreed to change the Vietnamese name of the VCCI to Vietnam Federation of Industry and Trade. Its name in English remained unchanged.
