Up to 157 outstanding Vietnamese businesses and 120 excellent entrepreneurs were honoured at a ceremony held on August 15 in Hanoi.

Golden cups were handed over to them, who had been selected from 1,315 entries nationwide, for their contributions to the community as well as the country’s socio-economic development.

The honoured businesses raked in approximate 133 trillion VND in turnover, contributing over 20 trillion VND to the state budget last year. They contributed 600 billion VND to social and charitable activities.

The event was co-organised by a series of ministries and relevant agencies including Radio the Voice of Vietnam, Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism./.
