The honourees with their awards

Attending the ceremony were municipal People’s Committee Chairman Huynh Duc Tho and Vice Chairman Ho Ky Minh.

The annual event aims to recognise the honourees’ great devotion and dedication to their work, as well as to encourage local government employees to enhance their friendly and polite attitude and behaviour towards residents and businesses.

Addressing the event, Chairman Tho congratulated the honourees on their notable awards.  He also expressed his gratitude to the Association, the business community, and the local residents as a whole, for their trust in local government.  He remarked that the city’s remarkable achievements over recent years have been mainly attributed to the high level of consensus between local government and residents.

The city leader pledged that the municipal authorities will continue their efforts to reform the local investment environment and administrative procedures, as well as to create even more favourable conditions for local businesses to operate effectively in the city.

Vice Chairman Minh noted, “Over recent years the city’s authorities have issued many preferential policies to help the business community.  In the near future, the Hoa Nhon, Hoa Ninh and the 2^nd phase of the Hoa Cam industrial parks will be developed in the city in order to help local businesses expand their production and business activities.  A dialogue between the city leaders and local businesses will be organised next month so that the city authorities can listen to and sort out any difficulties facing businesses.”

He added that Da Nang will host the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week from 6 - 11 November.  On the sidelines of this international event, a wide range of investment promotion and exchange activities between Da Nang and foreign businesses will be held in the city.
