Chairwoman and CEO of Deloitte Vietnam, Ms. Ha Thi Thu Thanh, said in the report that over the past 25 years, after the Law on Enterprises came into effect, women-owned businesses have grown rapidly. Deloitte predicted that the proportion of women on executive boards in Vietnam will increase to 35 per cent by 2020.

The report also said that the percentage of women leaders in Asia remains low, only higher than Latin America, with an average of 7.8 per cent. Japan and South Korea rank at the bottom, with 3.5 per cent and 4.1 per cent, respectively. Europe has the highest ratio, with women representing 22.8 per cent of board members.

Letters That Carried Nation’s Destiny Focus

Letters That Carried Nation’s Destiny

One of the most heroic chapters in our nation's history is the liberation of the South and the reunification of the country in the 20th century. Miraculously, we can witness this through letters, handwritten and typewritten ones, from General Secretary Le Duan to commanders and leaders in the South. These letters conveyed top-secret orders, supreme directives, political viewpoints, theoretical discussions, and even combat tactics. They were also imbued with the camaraderie of comrades-in-arms, the solidarity of compatriots, and the heartfelt sentiments of a son of Vietnam. These letters were later compiled into the anthology “Thu vao Nam” (Letters to the South), bearing unique and exceptional value for future generations.
