Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai congratulated and commended the 64 enterprises honored today, representing the Vietnamese business community and workers, for the development of the community and the whole country. In the process of growth and development of each enterprise, workers are the production resource, the key factor affecting the enterprise. Workers are the direct force that creates economic value, nurtures corporate culture, and contributes to the overall growth and development of the enterprise. Workers are also a driving force to promote innovation, creating competitive advantages for enterprises. Therefore, caring for, protecting and creating long-term welfare for workers, building stable, sustainable and progressive labor relations are also factors that help enterprises develop sustainably. To achieve a harmonious and stable relationship, businesses need to consider each employee as their invaluable asset, and each employee must also fully recognize their own responsibility for the overall development of the business.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai emphasized that thanks to the correct guidelines and policies of the Party and State and the efforts of the Vietnamese business community and entrepreneurs, and the active support of the whole society, the business community has truly become the main material production force of the economy, playing a very important role in the cause of national construction and development. Vietnamese enterprises have also continuously developed in both quantity and quality, making great and important contributions to the cause of national construction and defense in many fields; being the main force, pioneering in creating many jobs and livelihoods for workers, contributing to poverty reduction and promoting socio-economic development. Currently, Vietnam has nearly 910 thousand operating enterprises, more than 31 thousand cooperatives and 5.5 million business households; contributing more than 60% of the country's GDP.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai affirmed that in the coming time, the Government and the Government leadership will continue to consistently stand side by side with the business community; continue to persevere in the goal of stabilizing the macro economy, controlling inflation, promoting growth, ensuring major balances of the economy; maintain security, social order and safety so that the business community can feel secure in production and business, expand the market, create jobs for workers, and contribute to ensuring social security. This is the biggest and consistent goal that we have achieved and will continue to maintain in the following years.

The Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and Trade Unions at all levels continue to build and effectively implement emulation movements to study, practice and improve vocational skills and lifelong learning among workers; strengthen legal consultation and dissemination so that workers comply with and understand labor laws, support career transitions, and introduce jobs to workers; strengthen dialogue, negotiation, and consultation with employers on ensuring job maintenance, labor arrangement, and resolving policies for workers in accordance with legal regulations.

On the business side, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai suggested constantly improving competitiveness, reaching regional and international levels; further promoting proactiveness, dynamism and creativity to not only develop businesses owned by themselves but also strengthen connections, creating a combined strength to raise the position of Vietnamese businesses in the coming time.

On the part of workers, it is necessary to proactively study, foster, and improve their vocational skills, working skills, and professional expertise to meet the requirements of the labor environment and working environment in the new situation; support and accompany business owners and enterprises to create more economic values, maintain positive working relationships, and ensure a healthy working environment.

Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Dinh Khang said that the Program is an annual activity chaired by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor; the coordinating units are the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry; and Lao Dong Newspaper is the standing unit. As of 2022, the Program has ranked 447 enterprises, awarded the "Outstanding Enterprise for Workers" Award to 23 enterprises; 20 enterprises were awarded Certificates of Merit by the Prime Minister; 176 enterprises were awarded Certificates of Merit by co-organizing agencies.

Building on the achieved results, in 2023, in the context that the whole country and the business community are making efforts to overcome difficulties, continue to restore production, and develop the economy in the post-COVID-19 period, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and coordinating agencies have proactively developed a plan and directed the early implementation of the program. From the profiles of hundreds of businesses registered to participate, introduced, through many rounds of scientific, rigorous, and objective selection, the Selection Council proposed and the Program Steering Committee unanimously honored 64 businesses with outstanding achievements in the movement "Business for Workers".

In the context that most businesses are struggling with numerous difficulties, it is encouraging that the majority of businesses are still finding ways to maintain jobs, ensure income, and constantly improve the lives of workers. The businesses honored today are typical of those commendable businesses. Many businesses have proactively sought additional sources of work and markets in addition to traditional jobs and markets; and have trained and retrained workers so that they have the knowledge and skills to meet new job requirements. "This is a very commendable effort in the context that businesses are still facing many difficulties, the number of orders has decreased, a number of workers have lost their jobs, had their jobs extended, and many businesses have had to dissolve and go bankrupt," emphasized Chairman of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor Nguyen Dinh Khang.

At the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai and leaders of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, and the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry awarded Certificates of Merit to 64 outstanding enterprises.
