He also shared, “We strongly agree with the national strategy to develop nationalist entrepreneurs in the vision of 2030 - 2045. The most profound foundation is based on 6 principles of the VCCI to which I am committed to adhering to these principles. By doing so, we will focus on developing industries in line with the State's general economic development orientation, and will keep on doing it despite difficulties."

According to VCCI leaders, in 2022, the award program had comprehensive changes in terms of content, nomination methods and criteria to honor Vietnamese outstanding entrepreneurs who are talented, ethical, exemplary, nationalist and oriented to sustainable development. This was also the first year that its 6 business principles were used as the award criteria, which include delivering economic values for society; law compliance; transparency, fairness, integrity; creativity, cooperation, mutual development; protecting nature and environment; patriotism and responsibility to society and families.
