Director Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy The director has the most authority in the organizationand is responsible for considering the company's strategic vision, offering new ideas andadditional skills and knowledge, splitting and assigning responsibilities to subordinates
in specific departments and divisions, and having extensive networks to help thecompany grow Furthermore, the director is personally involved in discussions andtransactions with significant foreign customers in order to execute contracts for thecompany's international freight forwarding services The director is concerned with thebig picture and employs a "helicopter focus," which entails leading the organizationtoward its goals and ensuring that day-to-day management is continually aligned withthe broader organization's vision
It is vital to recognize that directors do not replace the management team Intruth, there is a significant difference between them Directors supervise and supplementthe management team's responsibilities by providing long-term planning, financialcontrol, and inside knowledge The management team, on the other hand, is concernedwith the day-to-day operations of the business Although management and directorshave quite distinct functions, good organizations ensure that there is a strong linkbetween the board and management

it more difficult than ever for import-export enterprises due to the closure of severalborder gates as well as government travel restrictions, therefore the number ofcommodities delivered and delivered saw a large decline Fortunately, customs clearance
at large border gates such as Huu Nghi was maintained, as were the Vietnamesegovernment's efforts to mitigate the disease, and imports raised again in the secondquarter of 2020 Finally, in the two last years of the period beginning in 2021, thecompany had significant revenue growth, officially reaching more than VND 50 billion
in 2021 and more than 60 billion in 2022 This marks a significant milestone in thecompany's unwavering efforts to improve and improve service quality over the past fiveyears
