That was the affirmation of Dinh La Thang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PetroVietnam, at the celebration of Vietnam Entrepreneurs’ Day 13/10, held online by PetroVietnam at five locations nationwide: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, Quang Ngai, and Vung Tau.
According to Mr. Dinh La Thang, during the first nine months of the year, despite many difficulties in production, business, and investment development due to the global economic downturn, all units under PetroVietnam basically fulfilled their planned tasks. Many targets were achieved or significantly exceeded, maintaining stable business development, continuing to uphold its role as a key economic driver, an instrument for the Government’s macroeconomic regulation, while actively contributing to safeguarding national sovereignty at sea.
In the first nine months, PetroVietnam achieved total revenue of 186.1 trillion VND, contributed 66.5 trillion VND to the state budget, increased oil and gas reserves by 66.6 million tons of oil equivalent, and achieved total output of 18.74 million tons.
PetroVietnam also implemented social welfare programs with a total of over 350 billion VND, including particularly meaningful projects such as completing phase 1 of the clean energy production project on Truong Sa island and carrying out support for six poor districts in Quang Ngai province.
Mr. Thang emphasized that in the coming period, PetroVietnam’s entrepreneurs must proactively seize opportunities as the global economy recovers, creating momentum for the Group to fulfill its 2010 plan as well as the oil and gas industry strategy to 2015 with a vision to 2020, as approved by the Government.
He affirmed that with the motto “bold innovation, daring to think, daring to act, and daring to take responsibility,” PetroVietnam’s entrepreneurs will unite in determination and effort, turning PetroVietnam into a truly large economic group and a major national brand to be proud of.
