Vietnam Association of Female Entrepreneurs to be established
A congress to set up the Vietnam Association of Female
Entrepreneurs (VAFE) will be held in Hanoi from October 18-19.
At
an October 11 press conference introducing the event, Deputy Minister
of Industry and Trade Ho Thi Kim Thoa said the congress will draw the
participation of 350 delegates from provincial women entrepreneurs’
associations and clubs, as well as groups and corporations.
The
association aims to promote the capacity and role of businesswomen for
the country’s sustainable development, offering a venue for them to
share experience and improve their professional knowledge. It will also
protect the legitimate interests of women entrepreneurs and workers in
businesses.
Thoa said that the VAFE’s key task during its first
term of 2014-2019 is to build itself into a centre that connects
businesswomen from all economic sectors and inspires them to greater
efforts in their work, thus contributing to the national development.
It
will also serve as a bridge between the female entrepreneurs community
and the Government and relevant agencies in building socio-economic
policies, she added.-VNA
