A meeting was jointly organized in Hanoi Friday morning by the Vietnam’s Association of Foreign Invested Enterprises (VAFIE) and The Investor to announce the appointment decisions.

With approval from the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education and the Ministry of Information and Communications, VAFIE Chairman signed decisions appointing Pham Duc Son, The Investor's Party chief and standing Deputy Editor-in-Chief, as its new Editor-in-Chief; and Vo Ta Quynh, head of the representative office in the northeastern region and deputy head of the Nha dau tu news room as the new Deputy Editor-in-Chief. Their appointments are for a term of five years starting July 1, 2024.

Prof. Mai also signed a decision appointing Nguyen Thai Son, head of the Editorial Secretariat, as an Editorial Board member.

On behalf of the VAFIE leadership, Prof. Mai congratulated the new appointees, praising the efforts and development achievements of The Investor since its inception.

"I believe that the new Editorial Board has the capacity to lead the publications to become stronger and take new steps," he said.

Nguyen Duc Loi, standing Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association, extended his congratulations to the new appointees.

"I hope that the new leaders of the publications will inherit and promote the achievements of their predecessors, building The Investor group into a multimedia agency, meeting increasing requirements of readers and vindicating the association's trust," said Loi, a former Party Central Committee member and former general director of Vietnam News Agency.

New Editor-in-Chief Pham Duc Son said that right from its first days, The Investor had clearly set out its principles and goals. "Treating people as its core asset, it has been focusing on developing and training its staff as well as attracting talents," he said.

"That is the guideline for all actions that the journalists at the publications always inherit and promote. They are determined to build a truly professional and specialized press agency that always understands and accompanies investors," he added.

Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan said the latest appointments marked recognition of the appointees' efforts.

"I am delighted and happy with today's leadership transition, and have great faith in the appointed personnel. I believe that they will fulfill their role and develop the publications further," Tuan said.
