The event aims to recognise and express gratitude to the significant contribution of the business community to the city’s development.

In his speech at the event, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Van Duoc, stated that while the total production value of the city's non-state economy was only 8.6 billion VND in 1985, it surged to 15,402 billion VND in 1995, marking an increase of nearly 1,800 times within just ten years.
