Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam congratulated the winners, noting that to enhance competitiveness, it is necessary to improve productivity and quality, especially quality as customers’ demand has become increasingly diverse and strict.
He expressed his hope that more businesses will vie for the awards so as to help encourage the productivity and quality improvement movement, thereby contributing to national development.
Prior to the presentation ceremony, a seminar was held in Hanoi on June 22 for the winning firms to share their experience, both successes and failures, in building and reforming their corporate governance systems.
