At the meeting, Mr. Vu Tien Loc, Chairman of VCCI, said that up to now, 80-90% of the disrupted enterprises have resumed normal operations, and localities and authorities have taken many measures to support and help enterprises resume normal operations. The Vietnamese Government has controlled the situation and affirmed its determination to implement all legal measures to ensure absolute security and safety for enterprises in Vietnam; resolutely not allowing acts of sabotage against foreigners in Vietnam and appropriately handling lawbreakers in recent incidents.
