HANOI: Prime Minister (PM) Pham Minh Chinh on May 31 chaired a dialogue with enterprises and business associations to effectively implement a resolution on the private economy's development.
PM Chính said that after the Politburo issued Resolution 68, the government submitted to the National Assembly a proposal to issue Resolution 198 on specific mechanisms and policies to promote private economic development.
The government subsequently issued its own programme and action plan to implement the resolution.
The PM emphasised that the resolutions are already comprehensive and well-coordinated. The most desired now is to organise implementation effectively, guided by the spirit of 'thinking deeply and acting boldly.'
It also needs to find the most efficient approaches to unlock the potential of nearly one million enterprises and five million household businesses.
He called for clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of the state, local authorities, businesses and citizens in implementing the resolution.
PM Chính also urged unity and coordination with the spirit.
'When the party has provided direction, the government is committed, the National Assembly agrees, the people are supportive and the country is hopeful, we only discuss how to act, not whether to retreat.'
At the dialogue, minister and Government Office chairman Tran Van Son announced the decision to establish the National Steering Committee for the implementation of the resolution.
Enterprises and business associations expressed their commitment to operating in compliance with the law, fostering business ethics and a healthy business culture, eliminating opportunistic and illegal practices, renewing their business mindset and enhancing their capabilities.
'If everyone joins hands with the government in fully and faithfully implementing the policies that have been set out, I believe all enterprises will grow. That is also a global trend,' Mai Kieu Lien, CEO of Vinamilk, said.
Delegates also hoped for continued support from the government to facilitate business and production development.
'The state should soon develop and issue a special mechanism for science and technology enterprises in the agricultural sector, including policies on land, credit, tax and training; and amend the Law on Crop Production to align it with other laws,' Tran Manh Bao from Thai Binh Seed Group said.
He suggested establishing innovation support funds and developing a mechanism for cooperation and technology transfer between the public and private sectors.
Nguyen Van Khoi, president of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, said the priority is to address institutional bottlenecks and guarantee rights that enable private economic development. — Viet Nam News/ANN

Discover the unique charm of Kopi Tenggek, a blend of tradition and authenticity in every sip
It is traditionally served with a small metal filter containing 10 grams of coffee powder, perched on the rim of a glass. 22 Jun 2025 04:00pm Kopi Tenggek Tanjung Piai business owner, Ghazaley Ayiub, 58, said he was inspired to run the coffee business following a visit to Saigon, Vietnam, where he observed motorcycle vendors selling coffee using a similar method.

DESPITE facing competition from modern coffee brands and international franchises, Kopi Tenggek, a local favourite known for its distinctive character, continues to hold a special place among coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the authentic, original taste of coffee. Kopi Tenggek is traditionally served with a small metal filter containing 10 grams of coffee powder, perched on the rim of a glass. Hot water, heated to 97 degrees Celsius, is then carefully poured into the filter, allowing the rich coffee essence to slowly drip, drop by drop, into the glass below. This unique method of preparation, with the filter seemingly 'perching' on the glass, remains a captivating ritual for both local and international coffee lovers, despite the rapid rise of hipster cafes across the state. Kopi Tenggek Tanjung Piai business owner, Ghazaley Ayiub, 58, said he was inspired to run the coffee business following a visit to Saigon, Vietnam, where he observed motorcycle vendors selling coffee using a similar method. Photo by Bernama. Kopi Tenggek stands out as a nostalgic, artisanal experience. Coffee lover, Rafidah Jaes, 43, said she likes the taste of Kopi Tenggek because of its simplicity and authenticity, with the unique taste of Liberica coffee which is slightly sour. The aroma and 'kaw' taste of real coffee give its fans a different experience. "The taste of this coffee is not too 'fancy', and the way it drips into the cup makes us appreciate every sip more. It is not too bitter, not too sweet, just perfect for hardcore coffee lovers," she told Bernama. For Datuk Mazlan Aliman, 59, a former advisor to the National Association of Felda Settlers' Children, Kopi Tenggek is more than just a drink, it's a cherished memory. "It reminds me of my late father, the village stall and that laid-back kampung atmosphere. Modern machines sometimes strip away the natural oil from the coffee. This one feels authentic,' he said. As for Hazim Salim, 33, who resides in the village, he prefers Kopi Tenggek not only for its affordability but also for its distinctive balance of bitterness, sweetness and rich aroma.

"We blend Liberica with Arabica to create a balanced flavour between medium and dark roast. Liberica has a slightly fruity taste, some taste like mango. That's what keeps people coming back," he said when met at the opening of his second branch outlet in Larkin, Johor Bahru, recently. The Pontian native shared that the first branch in Kampung Serkat, Tanjung Piai, Pontian, attracts between 1,000 and 1,500 visitors every weekend, reflecting the strong public support for Kopi Tenggek. Among Ghazaley's most treasured memories is the honour of receiving visits from His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, who has stopped by his shop three times, and the Regent of Johor, Tunku Mahkota Ismail, who has visited twice with the Johor Darul Ta'zim football team.- BERNAMA More Like This

Selangor Govt Will Not Compromise On 3R Issues
SABAK BERNAM, June 22 (Bernama) -- The Selangor government will not compromise on issues relating to race, religion and royalty (3R), as such matters could undermine the state's harmony and unity. Selangor Rural Development, Unity and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Datuk Rizam Ismail said issues involving racial and religious sensitivities must be handled firmly and wisely, given the state's role as a key national hub with a multiracial and densely populated society. 'Selangor must surely serve as an example, not only within the country but also to the world. Despite our ethnic diversity, we have managed to build a nation founded on strong unity. 'That is why we constantly work with the Ministry of National Unity through various awareness and unity programmes,' he said when officiating the closing ceremony of the Santuni MADANI and Misi Jelajah Peduli Ummah: Sejahtera Insan Al-Falah programmes at the As-Syukriah Mosque, Parit 8 Gambut, Sungai Panjang, here today. He said this in response to a news report yesterday, which cited data from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) stating that 40,515 pieces of potentially fake news content had been identified and reported by platform providers from 2023 until May this year. Of the total number, 11,819 were related to 3R content, of which 7,571 had been deleted. Rizam said one of the initiatives being actively implemented was strengthening the role of the Rukun Tetangga Areas, particularly in rural areas, to foster patriotism and racial unity. Meanwhile, he said no official complaints concerning 3R issues had been received so far, except for minor community-related matters that could be resolved locally. Earlier, Rizam said the programme organised by the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (JAWI), in collaboration with the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisation (MAPIM), was seen as effective in bridging the gap between the people and government agencies, particularly in delivering services directly to the target group.
