The Prime Minister has just issued the Decision No. 2154/QD-TTg establishing Tan Tao University.

The admitted students will spend their first three years at Tan Tao University and their final year in the renowned universities in the United States.

In the evening of October 29, Mdm. Dang Thi Hoang Yen, Chairwoman & CEO of Tan Tao Group and Co-Chair of ASEAN-BIS 2010, attended the banquet hosted by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and his wife to welcome the 18 heads of the state and government to the ASEAN Leaders Summit 2010 and the associated high-ranking conferences in Hanoi.
On behalf of the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Chairman of ASEAN 2010, I warmly welcome you all to the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit 2010 (ASEAN-BIS) organized by the ASEAN Business Advisory Council and Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I appreciate and value the remarks of ASEAN General Secretary, Mr. Vu Tien Loc, Mr. Doan Duy Khuong and Ms. Dang Thi Hoang Yen.
ASEAN BIS 2011 which will be held in Indonesia, will continue to build on the achievements attained by this ASEAN BIS 2010, so that it will further strengthen the integration of the region and fulfill ASEAN as a unified community on the economic and political fronts, but also in the areas of security, defense and culture by 2015. Through these efforts, ASEAN region competitiveness will be further enhanced globally.
The world was going through a “Global Reset” and ASEAN managed through this economic storm very well. Even IMF latest estimates upgraded GDP of ASEAN region growth to 6.7%, an economic growth rate that many countries outside Asia will willingly trade places for.
Many newspapers ran headlines about her as: "The richest woman on Vietnam’s stock market", "Golden Rose ... billionaires," "Three billionaire siblings" ... In reality, all such titles are given to her as Ms. Yen never talks about herself. The story she shared with us is neither the way to get rich nor for the profits but the one I want to borrow the title of a famous novel of writer Nguyen Manh Tuan to talk about her: Woman ..."standing in front of the sea"!
