60 outstanding businesswomen honoured
Hanoi (VNA) – The 2021 Golden Rose Cup awards were presented to 60 businesswomen during a ceremony held by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) in Hanoi on December 29.
The event aimed to honour their important contributions to national
socio-economic development amid COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters caused
by climate change.
VCCI President Pham Tan Cong said the event is also meant to
honour success stories and encourage the spirit of start-up and business
development among Vietnamese women, contributing to realising the National
Strategy on Gender Equality for the 2021-2030 period with at least 27 percent
of female directors and owners of enterprises and cooperatives by 2025 and 30
percent by 2030.
On the occasion, the VCCI presented the insignia “For the cause of
Vietnamese business development” to former Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh
in recognition of her support to the Vietnamese business community and businesspeople in particular.
The VCCI also posthumously granted the title of “Outstanding
Vietnamese businesswoman – Golden Rose Cup” to Hoang Thi Minh Ho. She and her spouse Trinh Van Bo made their names in history with meaningful
contributions to a special period of the country./.
