Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai gave a speech at the ceremony.

The Deputy Prime Minister stated: During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh paid great attention to cooperatives. Right after the successful August Revolution, on April 11, 1946, President Ho Chi Minh wrote a letter calling on Vietnamese landlords and farmers to participate in agricultural cooperatives. Responding to his call, in 1948, in the Viet Bac War Zone, the first cooperative was established, marking the birth and development of the collective economic sector and cooperatives in Vietnam.

Up to now, after a long period of development, the collective economic sector of our country has made positive progress. Awareness of collective economic development, focusing on cooperatives in the political system and among the people, has been raised. Policies and laws on collective economy have been focused on building and perfecting to suit each stage of development.

Cooperatives have basically completed the transition to a new model according to the provisions of law. The number of newly established cooperatives and cooperative unions has increased significantly, with more diverse development in terms of industry, scale and level, better support for members, job creation and increased regular income for workers. The linkages between cooperatives with each other, with enterprises and other economic organizations have initially developed...

The world economic context and international situation continue to evolve in a complex and unpredictable manner, with many new difficulties and challenges. Domestically, in addition to advantages, there are also many difficulties and challenges.

To successfully implement the goals of developing the collective economy and cooperatives, the Deputy Prime Minister requested Party committees, authorities, the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations at all levels to thoroughly grasp and closely follow the Party's guidelines, develop and improve the efficiency of collective economic activities, considering this an important and regular task of the entire political system.

Regarding the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance system, the Deputy Prime Minister also requested that it is necessary to organize and carry out well information and propaganda activities about the good nature, position, role and importance of the collective economy and cooperatives in the socio-economic development of the country, attract many cooperatives and cooperative groups to become members of the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance system, and develop the startup movement from cooperatives.

In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister also requested collective economic organizations and cooperatives to promote the spirit of proactive adaptation to fluctuations, self-reliance; strongly change in thinking, awareness and action, develop collective economic organizations associated with active innovation, application of modern science and technology, green transformation; strengthen linkages along the value chain; develop both the quantity and quality of members and participating workforce.
