Seven outstanding overseas Vietnamese entrepreneurs have been honoured for their contributions to the development of the industry and trade sector in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese embassy presented medals to them in Montreal, Canada, on August 28.

Speaking at the ceremony, Vietnamese ambassador Nguyen Duc Hung said that the Vietnamese government always welcomes overseas Vietnamese to do business in their homeland and that it has opened the door to attract their investment.

He also spoke highly of their contribution to the country, saying that their investment as well as their experiences and relations have been an impetus to the country’s development especially as global trade has increasingly grown.

On behalf of the honoured businessmen, chairman of the association of overseas Vietnamese entrepreneurs in Canada Pham Van Thanh thanked the Vietnamese government for its recognition of the contributions of overseas Vietnamese for the sake of construction and development in the country.

He affirmed that the association will boost its cooperation with domestic enterprises in businesses activities, imports, exports and investment in the coming time and encourage its members to come back home to do business.
