The Deputy PM also asked the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) to develop sustainable development criteria for all 150,000 member enterprises, informed Bao To quoc.

He also stressed the significance of support connection and the spread of sustainable development values as much as possible, instead of simply expanding the network.
