 Ms. Doan called on female enterprises to take the lead in Vietnam’s international integration: "Vietnamese enterprises should become more aware of fierce competition regarding high-quality human resources as Vietnam further opens its labor markets to other countries. It’s important for any Vietnamese businesses to maintain their core values, especially as Vietnam integrates further into ASEAN and the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement is signed."
