Dear the Board of Directors of Construction Corporation No. 1 – JSC, the Board of Directors of member companies and all employees of the CC1 family! 

Allow me to introduce, I am Nguyen Van Huan and I have just been elected by the General Meeting of Shareholders to join the Board of Directors and trusted by the Board of Directors to be elected to the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Construction Corporation No.1 - JSC (CC1) on January 21, 2021. Today, I am honored and happy to have the opportunity to share with all of you for the first time the message and goals of our actions in the coming time.

Nearly 42 years since its establishment in 1979, CC1 has now become one of the leading brands in the field of investment and construction of the country. Having that pride is thanks to the dedication and tireless efforts of many generations of CC1 leaders and employees, including our brothers and sisters sitting here. And one thing that is very proud is that there are brothers and sisters who have devoted their youth, their whole lives with the highest sense of responsibility to CC1.

As chairman of the Board of Directors, with all my enthusiasm and enthusiasm, I would like to convey my message to you as follows: "ACCOMPANYING TO REACH FAR – SHARING TO GROW STRONG".  I hope that the Board of Directors as well as all members of the CC1 Family, together with me, will make the best of this message. The reason I chose this message is for the following goals:


Companionship:                                                

–          Is the companionship between shareholders, investors and the Board of Directors; between the Board of Directors and the Management Board; between the Management Board and the Workers; between the Parent company and the Member companies. And I also hope that this companionship will also be carried out in the opposite direction from bottom to top.

–          This companionship not only comes from within CC1, but this companionship is also reflected in the relationships between CC1 and partners and customers. And I also look forward to receiving companionship from partners and customers with CC1.


Sharing:

–          It is the sharing of responsibilities at work, in the periods of ups and downs, difficulties as well as advantages and development of CC1.
–          And accordingly, the benefits must be shared in accordance with the individual's dedication to CC1. This is also the core principle in the mechanism that I want to build for CC1, we will have the salary and bonus to accompany the work efficiency and business efficiency brought to the business.

In order to implement this message, with my role and position, I am committed to creating the most favorable conditions for the administration, policy development, how to ensure ventilated, fast, safe and efficient mechanisms for the stable apparatus in the shortest time, the fastest development, creating the foundation for a new stage of development. Realizing the dream of reaching out to the big sea that generations of CC1 workers have always wanted.

As you know, 2020 is a year when the world and domestic economy face many difficulties due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic. However, Vietnam still emerges as a bright spot in terms of attracting investment and business activities, I would like to overlook some outstanding opportunities as follows:
 
1.       We have won the double victory of both controlling the epidemic and ensuring economic growth.

4.      Regarding Vietnam's economic situation, the Government is promoting macro-economic recovery and growth. One of the top priorities is to promote the development of transport infrastructure, works serving the socio-economy and national security.
