He lauded the businesses for
making good performances against difficulties hitting the national
economy, reminding them that the country is integrating widely into the
regional and global economies.
The State leader
asked the firms to further improve their products’ quality by applying
advanced production methods and technology and building a healthier
financial capacity for enhancing their competitiveness in the world
market.
He also lauded the outcomes of the National
Trademark programme and expressed hope that the awardees will share
their experience with other enterprises to make Vietnam’s brand names
highly competitive globally.
