Press - business: An inseparable, companion relationship

ANTD.VN - On May 31, at the International Convention Center (Hanoi), the Economic and Urban Newspaper organized the Forum "Press - Enterprises accompanying for sustainable development" to celebrate the 99th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2024).

This is the second year that Economic and Urban Newspaper has organized the Press Forum accompanying businesses in the three regions.

The Forum aims to become an annual event to contribute and propose more solutions to strengthen the relationship between the press and businesses, contributing positively to the overall development of the country.

Speaking at the Forum, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Ha Minh Hai assessed that the Forum "Press - Enterprises accompanying for sustainable development" is one of the meaningful and practical activities towards the celebration of the 99th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2024).

The forum is an opportunity to discuss and exchange about the cooperation between the press and businesses. For sustainable development, economic development requires a core force of entrepreneurs and businesses. To build culture, the press is the leading important force that plays a decisive role in orienting public opinion and spreading it in society.

“Therefore, to build and develop a civilized, modern, fast-growing, and sustainable capital, both the press and businesses must develop well and cooperate effectively,” Vice Chairman Ha Minh Hai emphasized.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Loi - Member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Journalists Association, Editor-in-Chief of the Economic and Urban Newspaper said that the cooperative relationship between the press and businesses is a mutual, symbiotic relationship. The press is a bridge between businesses and the State, through information in the press, helping State agencies listen to the opinions of businesses, from the implementation of policies to contributing to improving the effectiveness of management and operation.

“The press is also an important and necessary information channel, contributing to the success of businesses, not only as a bridge to promote product brands, product quality, sales methods and product consumption... but also as a channel to provide information for businesses to grasp customer needs, information from partners, the development of domestic and foreign markets, thereby making appropriate decisions for the development of businesses..." - Editor-in-Chief of Economic and Urban Newspaper Nguyen Thanh Loi emphasized.

Dr. Nguyen Duc Kien - Former Head of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Group shared: "With more than 40 years of experience working in the field of policy making, I have witnessed many real-life stories showing that the press plays an extremely important role in the success or failure of policies developed and implemented by State management agencies.

Without the press leading the way, it is difficult for a policy to be widely accepted and unanimously followed by the people. On the contrary, when the press has spoken out against it, the policy can "die young" right from its infancy, or even be terminated before it is promulgated."

From the perspective of a business, Mr. Vu Thanh Son - General Director of Hanoi Trade Corporation (Hapro) said that for Hapro, participating in the discussions, seminars, and conferences of the Newspaper helped the Company understand the benefits of new policies, helping businesses increase their price competitiveness, expand Hapro's export markets such as rice, cashew nuts, coffee, etc.; diversify the source of goods in the retail and distribution system, meet domestic consumption needs; have better access to technology, improve management capacity, and increase the ability of businesses to innovate.

Meanwhile, Master Le Dung - General Director of DGroup Human Resources Training and Development Joint Stock Company suggested that interaction and feedback should be increased: "The press should create conditions for businesses and readers to interact directly, give feedback and suggestions. This not only helps the press better understand the needs and desires of businesses but also improves the quality of information.

The press needs to build multi-dimensional interactive channels, allowing readers and businesses to participate in the process of creating content and contributing opinions," she said.

Dr. Mac Quoc Anh, Permanent Vice President and General Secretary of the Hanoi Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (HANOISME) said that enterprises and the press have a companionship, support, and inseparable relationship for sustainable development. The mainstream press is considered by enterprises as a bridge to spread positive aspects and typical advanced examples in production and business...

“The press is a bridge between businesses and society and consumers, a bridge between businesses and businesses, between businesses and the State, and with functional agencies. Not only that, the press is also considered a friend, a guide, a contributor to the development of businesses and society.

In any period, the press always plays an important role, working together with businesses to contribute to promoting common development such as protecting the environment, creating jobs, developing production and business, developing the economy, and ensuring social security" - Vice President of HANOISME said.

This year, the Forum "Press - Enterprises accompanying for sustainable development" will be held in Hanoi (May 31); Ho Chi Minh City (June 4, 2024) and Buon Ma Thuot City - Daklak (June 14, 2024).
