An awards to honour winners of strong brand names was held in Hanoi on April 4 in recognition of the business circle’s efforts to increase Vietnamese brands’ competitive edge in foreign markets.

Head of the Organising Board Dao Nguyen Cat said that 120 awardees have successfully affirmed their products’ prestige to customers, contributing to the country’s economic development.

Big names include VNPT, Tan Cang Sai Gon, SJC, Vinamilk, Vietcombank, Vietinbank, BIDV, Sacombank, Hau Giang Pharma, Bao Viet group, Dai Dong Tien and Vinacafe Bien Hoa.

According to the organising board, enterprises who joined the selection contributed over VND60 trillion, or 16 percent, to the State budget in 2009.
