Over the past time, with its solutions to facilitate production and business development and foster investment promotion and attraction, Lang Son province has overcome many difficulties and challenges to maintain socioeconomic stability and development. The business community has developed in both quantity and quality.

In that overall success, the Lang Son Business Association has effectively bridged businesses with authorities in all activities, reported recommendations and proposals to competent authorities in charge of strategies, planning and policymaking to improve the business environment and support businesses. At the same time, the association promptly informed its members and investors of the Provincial People's Committee's directions to remove difficulties and obstacles in production, business and investment.

With more than 600 member businesses operating in many fields across the province, including three collective members, eight district-level business associations and four affiliated branches and clubs, the Lang Son Business Association has gathered and represented the voice of local businesses on socioeconomic development policies to the Provincial People's Committee and competent authorities. The association has also surveyed and collected business opinions at business-government conferences and dialogues and on the province's websites. At the same time, it has assisted local businesses to participate in thematic dialogues and conferences with local authorities to remove difficulties in taxes, business conditions, trade promotion and investment promotion.

One effective task performed by the Lang Son Business Association to improve the investment environment is to survey business satisfaction according to the District and Department Competitiveness Index (DDCI)) and the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI). The association regularly consults with businesses, gives critical opinions on legal policies relating to business and supports local companies to effectively apply policies. Along with in-depth professional activities, the association also always accompanies and participates in social security programs like charity houses, donating warm clothes for children, study promotion funds and the fund for the poor.

Mr. Dao Trong Tam, Vice Chairman of the Lang Son Business Association, said: Member businesses are always creative and flexible in business strategies to live through difficulties. In addition, local enterprises have achieved much positive progress in digitization, information technology application and digital transformation in management and operations. Local companies have gradually improved their reputation and brand and affirmed their role as one of the main forces.

The association will continue to expand connectivity, gather businesses and entrepreneurs, support local businesses to participate in product consumption chains and exchange experiences in business management, trade promotion, branding and working performance of developed countries, improve competitiveness and integrate into the international economy. The association will actively support businesses in legal, professional, management skills, training and fostering human resources, especially business leaders in business administration and doing effective, lawful business. It will encourage companies to invest in potential, strong areas of the province, and make Lang Son-branded high-value products for domestic and export markets.

In particular, the association will be a place to connect businesses and entrepreneurs to share common values of business culture, especially the spirit of respect for the law, business ethics and social responsibility. Doing so, it will not only help build a distinctive, growing Lang Son business community but also actively join the province to improve the business environment, boost investment attraction and promote local economic development,” he emphasized.
