Last Friday, the Central and Eastern European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (CEEC) had the honour of celebrating its 10th Anniversary in Ho Chi Minh City, together with representatives of Vietnamese authorities, CEE diplomatic missions, business associations, CEEC members, and partners.
The evening was filled with excellent food, outstanding performances, meaningful conversations, and valuable networking. It was also a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with long-time friends who have supported and contributed to the growth of our community over the past decade.
Opening Speeches: Setting the Tone for a Memorable Evening
The celebration officially began with a warm and inspiring opening speech delivered by CEEC Chairman, Marko Moric. Reflecting on the Chamber’s decade-long journey, he shared a message of pride, gratitude, and optimism for the future:
“This anniversary is not only a celebration of the past ten years but also an exciting beginning for the years ahead. We look forward to continuing our mission of connecting businesses, promoting opportunities, and building bridges between Central and Eastern Europe and Vietnam.” — Marko Moric, Chairman of CEEC
His remarks highlighted the remarkable progress CEEC has made, the strength of its community, and the important role that members and partners play in shaping the Chamber’s future.
Following the Chairman’s welcome, Minh Nguyen, a representative from our Platinum Sponsor, Forvis Mazars, also took the stage. In their speech, they shared their pride in being part of the CEEC community and emphasized the importance of collaboration and shared values. They expressed appreciation for the strong partnership with CEEC.
Honouring Our Long-Standing Members
During the celebration, our Vice-Chairman, Vlad Savin, had the honour of recognising CEEC Members who have been with us since the Chamber’s early days. These long-standing members have supported CEEC through each stage of its growth, contributing to the strong, dynamic community we have today. Their dedication, trust, and enduring commitment have been instrumental to CEEC’s development over the past decade. We extend our deepest appreciation and heartfelt gratitude for their continued support and for standing with us on this remarkable journey.
Cake Cutting & Anniversary Toast
A highlight of the evening was the ceremonial cake cutting, symbolising a decade of CEEC’s growth, resilience, and community spirit. CEEC’s Board members gathered on stage, to mark this meaningful milestone. As the anniversary cake was cut, guests raised their glasses for a celebratory toast — honouring the achievements of the past ten years and expressing optimism for the exciting journey ahead. The moment captured the unity and shared commitment of the CEEC community, setting the tone for many more years of cooperation, partnership, and success.
