The Vietnamese Government firmly takes every necessary measure under the law and international commitments it made to ensure security, safety and legitimate rights of foreign organisations, businesses and individuals in Vietnam.
President of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) Vu Tien Loc made the affirmation at a meeting in Hanoi on May 19 with representatives of foreign businesses operating in Vietnam to listen to their opinions on recent extremist actions taken by some individuals in Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Ha Tinh provinces that damaged the country’s image.
Any act that harms the staff and assets of foreign enterprises is totally not accepted and those who sparked disturbances will be stringently punished to avoid a repeat of the violence, Loc said.
He also assured that the VCCI will apply all necessary measures to assist businesses with a view to restoring their trust in Vietnam’s investment environment.
According to Loc, 80-90 percent of businesses affected by the disturbances have to date resumed their operations with the support and assistance of local authorities and competent agencies.
On May 13-14 during workers’ parades to protest China’s illegal placement of an oil rig in Vietnam’s waters in the three above-mentioned provinces, some bad individuals destroyed assets of foreign businesses, negatively impacting on Vietnam’s investment and business environment.
Right after the incident, the Vietnamese Government implemented a series of measures to control the situation and support the affected enterprises to restore their operations.-VNA
