ASEAN Business Awards for 2010 launched

The 2010 ASEAN Business Awards (ABA) was officially launched in Hanoi on April 7 by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI).

ABA President Nguyen Thi Nga said its jury comprises leading businesses, economists and scholars from all 10 members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Twenty-four businesses are expected to enter the final round with eight to receive the “Most-Admired ASEAN Business” award.

The winners, along with those that made the final round, will be honoured at a gala dinner to be held at the end of the ASEAN Investment and Business Summit. The summit is scheduled to take place in Hanoi on October 28-29.

The ABA was held for the first time in Singapore in 2007.

So far, four Vietnamese businesses have received ABA consolation prizes, including the Hoa Tho Paper Company, the Asian Development Bank, the Saigon Paper Corporation and the Saigon Morin Hotel in Hue city.
