(VOVworld) – The Ministry of Industry and Trade has granted the 2012 National Trademark Award to 54 outstanding businesses.  They were honored for continuous efforts to improve product quality and grow strongly despite the global economic downturn. Addressing the award ceremony in Hanoi on Monday, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai praised the recipients for securing national trademarks and promised Government’s support for business development this year: Vietnamese businesses should boost their prestige and product quality to win consumer confidence, which is the key to their survival. I urge businesses to invest in advanced production technology. The Government and relevant agencies will stand side by side with businesses and share the responsibility for developing a trademark, because trademarks are not just for Vietnamese products but also for the whole nation and its people.
