We would like to extend our warmest welcome to all the new members who joined us in January and February 2023. Greetings to all our new members! |

Greetings from Danang and I hope you are all well! Thanks to his Excellency Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh for inviting AmCham Danang to speak at the conference on the implementation of the Government’s action plan for socio-economic development and national defense and security in the north-central and central coastal regions by 2030 with a vision towards 2045, which the Prime Minister chaired in Quy Nhon this past Sunday.
We were honored to be one of only three foreign organizations allowed to speak. The others were our member UAC as well as a French Association on Environmental Impact and Prevention. I brought up many points mostly pertaining to small and medium enterprises. For all those who are interested please find the full speech at this LINK.
Also, I would really like to thank our member Ms. Ly Bui from Minor Hotels who assisted us in the room at Anantara Resort Quy Nhon. It is a fantastic resort on the beach of Quy Nhon. I wish I had more time to enjoy the resort. What a beautiful place to stay if you are traveling to Quy Nhon!
Additionally, we will be hosting our annual Super Bowl Watch Party this year at Dirty Fingers Restaurant from 6:30 am on Monday the 13th of February. The event is free for members and VND 200,000 for non-members. Hope to see you all there!
Chris Vanloon, Chair, AmCham Danang
