On August 24, CEEC hosted the first online meeting with members, having around 20 members joined in. The meeting is expected to be held every quarter to update our members on the Chamber’s activities and the external news that help to enhance their businesses in Vietnam.
Our Chairman – Mr. Marko Moric started the meeting by welcoming the members to CEEC, especially the ones who joined us this year. On behalf of CEEC, he gave a quick update on CEEC’s Team and expressed our appreciation to the corporate partners as well as the members.
The recent activities and events of the Chamber were delivered by our Vice-Chairman – Mr. Vlad Savin. The updates on business support and compliance were also mentioned in his speech.
Later, Mr. Minh Nguyen – CEEC’s Executive Member also known as EuroCham’s Vice-Chairman shared with members news from EuroCham’s side. During the Covid-19 outbreak in Vietnam, EuroCham has greatly supported members in systematic issues (including business-related problems) as well as individual difficulties. Especially, they have actively engaged in the vaccination program and kept their members updated on the current status by organizing online webinars.
In the last update from our side, Mr. Ben Mandjak – Executive Member talked about the charity campaign that CEEC has been doing. The campaigns aim to support people in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City who are heavily affected by the spread of Covid-19.
CEEC’s new members had a chance to briefly introduce their business to the Board members and other participants. As members of CEEC specialize in different business sectors, this should be an opportunity for them to expand their networks and connections in the Vietnam market.
During the Q&A section, we received some questions and concerns from our members in regards to the trade performance between Vietnam and CEE countries and the current situation of specific industries.
