Enterprises seek more help with job training
More international co-operation in training human resources is needed to pave the way for Vietnamese enterprises to integrate more deeply into the world economy.
Chairman of the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) Vu Tien Loc made the statement at a workshop in Ha Noi yesterday.
The University of Foreign Trade, in co-operation with the Hawaii University, organised the workshop to explore new opportunities ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation (APEC) 2011 Summit hosted by the US next month.
According to Loc, corporate management weaknesses are major barriers to Vietnamese enterprise integration.
"Capacities need enhancing to help ease the gap between domestic and foreign enterprises," Loc said.
Support for small and medium enterprises was especially important in better involving firms, he added.
The chairman said that, in addition, an enterprise network was needed to provide companies with access to reliable and updated information based on business development opportunities.
Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affair's Department of Multilateral Economic Co-operation Nguyen Nguyet Nga agreed, saying that the capacity of enterprises had to be raised to the international level alongside the promotion of economic development.
Nga emphasised the significant role of enterprises in joining forces with State agencies in developing goals for economic growth.
The Asia-Pacific region, made up of 21 members, is a potential market for Vietnamese firms with exports currently occupying more than 70 per cent of the country's turnover, according to chief of the National Committee of Economic and International Co-operation Nguyen Van Long.
The region additionally makes up nearly 60 per cent of the total flow of investment into the country, which hosted the APEC Summit five years ago.
This year, the APEC Summit will take place in Honolulu City, Hawaii, next month.
