Mr. Trinh Tien Dung, Vice President of HUBA and Chairman of the Board of Directors of DaiDung Corporation emphasized that the press always plays a crucial role as a bridge between relevant authorities, local governments, state management agencies, and businesses. Building this relationship will help both parties succeed by mutually supporting each other for joint and sustainable development. “Consumers access information proactively through social media channels and have the right to disseminate information. They frequently exchange within their online social groups. Digital communication is becoming indispensable for most businesses, including small and medium enterprises. However, the press remains the official and effective business information channel,” Mr. Dung shared at the forum. Mr. Dung also noted that a proper relationship between the press and businesses will bring mutual benefits. In the current trend of digital transformation and media convergence situation, the press provides readers with diverse, rich, and accurate information and quickly and comprehensively alerts and critiques many aspects related to the business activities of enterprises. Sometimes, the press helps businesses recognize their shortcomings and deficiencies to correct and improve, continuing to thrive in an increasingly competitive environment.
