Who is the businessman who just had a dialogue with the Prime Minister at the Conference to disseminate Resolution 68?

(NLDO) - Businessman Vu Van Tien's saying "a drought meets a shower" when expressing his feelings about Resolution 68 is attracting attention on social networks.

On May 18, at Dien Hong Hall of the National Assembly Building, a national conference was held to disseminate and implement Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW on innovation in law-making and enforcement and Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW on private economic development.

At the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh had a direct dialogue and answered suggestions from the business community, although this activity was not part of the official agenda of the conference. This demonstrated the openness and special attention of the Party and Government towards the private economic sector – in line with the spirit of Resolution 68.

As the first businessman encouraged by the Prime Minister to speak, Mr. Vu Van Tien, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Geleximco Group, shared frankly and passionately about the role and expectations of the private economic sector in the country's new development stage.
