The walking festival day began with the excitement and joy in the connection activity between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi via live videoconference where all staff members in the South and North said hello to each other, responded to the Festival, and spoke out loud the same slogan “Coteccons – If you want to go far, go together”.
All employees on both sides had emotional moments when they listened to stories about the Company in its early days, profession stories told by the Coteccons people etc. and felt proud when looking back works executed by Coteccons over the years that spread throughout the S-shaped land of Vietnam.

To gain achievements as today, all works at Coteccons are led by a leadership team comprising dedicated, willing-to-do-everything, sincere people, and especially this success is also gained thanks to the spirit of solidarity of all Coteccons employees since “One swallow doesn’t make a summer” as shared by a staff member in the program.
For that reason, Mr. Nguyen Ba Duong – BOD Chairman of Coteccons Group – also expressed the company’s deep thanks to all employees and their families who devoted to the success of the Company even spent more time on working than spending time with his family. And he wanted that Coteccons’s traditional Day in early August every year would be the time for staff members to have fun together when they could relax and recharge energy for next working days.
