Last year, the business association successfully maintained its crucial role as a bridge between the business community and local authorities. The organisation effectively represented enterprise interests while facilitating social oversight and feedback. It consistently gathered and channeled business concerns regarding operational challenges to relevant provincial authorities for resolution.

Along with joining hands with competent sides to carry out support programmes for enterprises as well as those to improve the provincial competitiveness index (PCI), the association paid due attention to charitable activities. It mobilised more than 3.29 billion VND (130,600 USD) for a Tet gifting programme for impoverished people, supported housing construction for the needy, and sponsored various cultural and social events across the province.

Looking ahead to 2025, the association aims to strengthen member organisations' effectiveness, enhance business operation, and forge strongr relationships with state management agencies. It will work to streamline administrative procedures and engage in social welfare initiatives.

He also underscored the need to maintain charitable activities and contribute to the province's socio-economic development goals in 2025.
