Sharing about the role of VCCI, President Ho Sy Hung said that, VCCI serves as a strategic bridge connecting the Party and the State with the business community.

On the afternoon of September 4, VCCI President Ho Sy Hung held a working session with a delegation from the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee.

According to President Ho Sy Hung, VCCI's key tasks include: Partnering with ministries, agencies, and localities to identify and clear bottlenecks for enterprises; supporting the improvement of the business environment and trade promotion; and acting as a bridge for businesses to provide feedback and policy recommendations.

In addition, according to President Ho Sy Hung, in recent years, VCCI has strengthened deeper linkages with provinces and cities nationwide. VCCI not only promotes traditional trade and investment, but also coordinates dialogues and directly seeks solutions to overcome difficulties for businesses in local areas.

Highly appreciating VCCI's activities, Vice Chairman of the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee Le Huyen stated at the working session that Khanh Hoa holds a particularly important strategic position in national defense and security, possesses abundant natural resources, boasts the longest coastline in the country, numerous beautiful bays, deep-water seaports, industrial zones, an international airport, and diverse, modern transport infrastructure connectivity.

In particular, following the merger, Khanh Hoa province's development space has expanded, with its capacity and potential combined and reinforced to create a new economic driver featuring a diverse, closely linked, and comprehensive structure.

The economy of Khanh Hoa province continues to maintain positive growth momentum, with the economic structure shifting toward a modern and sustainable direction, effectively leveraging local resources and competitive advantages…

“Khanh Hoa province is transforming strongly with the aspiration to become a centrally-run city by 2030, an international maritime services and tourism center, achieving double-digit economic growth, and serving as one of the country's high-growth poles in the marine economy, high-tech industry, renewable energy, science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and high-quality human resource training.

Built upon a solid foundation of a synchronized and modern infrastructure system, a uniquely strategic location connecting inter-regional and international transportation axes, alongside dynamic development regions such as Van Phong Bay, Nha Trang, Cam Ranh, and Ca Na, Khanh Hoa is becoming a new hub for seaports, logistics, coastal urban areas, and fisheries logistics services, while also serving as a national-scale clean energy center, integrated with high-quality tourism and high-tech agriculture,” shared Vice Chairman Le Huyen.

According to Vice Chairman Le Huyen, over the past time, Khanh Hoa province has continued to maintain and promote its close cooperative relationship with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) in improving the investment and business environment. In 2025, Khanh Hoa province's PCI score reached 65.40 points (ranking 13th out of 34 provinces and cities), which was 1.49 points higher than the national median and 4.32 points below the highest score nationwide, placing it in the upper-good tier.

This result reflects the joint efforts of the business community and investors, as well as the timely support of VCCI, creating momentum for the new Khanh Hoa province to continue enhancing administrative management quality, strongly improving the investment environment, and fostering socio-economic growth.

To further promote and enhance the effectiveness of cooperation between Khanh Hoa and VCCI in the coming time, Vice Chairman Le Huyen expressed his hope that VCCI will continue to support connections, encourage, facilitate, and introduce investors and businesses to Khanh Hoa to explore, connect, and collaborate on investments in fields aligned with the province's investment attraction orientation.

Support and collaborate with Khanh Hoa province in improving the business investment environment and supporting enterprises during the 2026–2030 period across three key task groups:

First, improve the investment and business environment through the synchronized implementation of Central and provincial resolutions; accelerate administrative reform and transparency of procedures; elevate the PCI, DDCI, and BPI indices; support digital enterprises and innovation; and remove mechanism and policy bottlenecks.

Second, promote socio-economic development goals, supporting the province in becoming a centrally-run city by 2030; build a strong corporate community that integrates regionally and internationally; invite investments and connect with major domestic and foreign corporations; and assist small and medium-sized enterprises in digital transformation, production expansion, and innovation.

Third, support the development of the business community, enhance the capacity of local associations and enterprises to participate in value chains; promote green production, the circular economy, and climate change adaptation; market potential and investment opportunities; organize business forums and dialogues; and train and nurture human resources to build a dynamic and effective entrepreneurial team.

Agreeing with the proposal from the leaders of the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee on the three key task groups mentioned above, President Ho Sy Hung stated that VCCI stands ready to partner with the Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee in building and developing the locality in the coming time. At the same time, he directed specialized departments to coordinate with the locality in formulating specific activities to further promote the development of the business community in Khanh Hoa.
