He emphasized the crucial importance of maintaining price stability, promoting the consumption of Vietnamese products, and ensuring food safety throughout the Tet period.

Mr. Dung commended Central Retail for its strong commitment to supporting local businesses, evidenced by the impressive statistic that over 90% of products available on their shelves originate from within Vietnam. He also praised the company’s impactful “Tet Nhan Ai” program, which provides vital support to those in need during the festive season.
