According to Deputy Minister Le Xuan Dinh, international standards bring many benefits in terms of technology, economy and society. For businesses, international standards are strategic tools and guidelines that help companies address the most demanding challenges of modern business and ensure efficient operations, increased productivity, access to new markets. For consumers, when products and services comply with international standards, they can be confident that products and services are safe, reliable and good quality, many of which are environmentally friendly.
International standards also support regulatory agencies in developing public policies and national regulations, ensuring requirements for harmonized import and export worldwide, thereby facilitating the movement of goods and services among countries."
As a full member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Committee for Food Standards (CODEX) and an associate member of the International Electrical Engineering Committee (IEC), Vietnam has the right and responsibility to actively participate in the process of developing international standards so that Vietnamese products and goods can reach out to the world market more strongly. At the same time, we also need to promote the development and application of national and international standards as the foundation for production and business activities and protect the legitimate interests of businesses, as well as Vietnamese consumers.
According to Deputy Minister Dinh, in addition to participating in joint activities according to the responsibilities of members, we have been making positive contributions to the development of international standards, especially those related to Vietnam's key products.
