"Transparent Information - Responsible Consumption" has been chosen as the theme for Vietnam Consumer Rights Day 2025, emphasizing the significance and importance of information in trade and consumer transactions. It highlights the necessity of ensuring consumer safety in selecting and using goods and services amid rising fraudulent activities that violate consumer rights. The theme also calls on agencies, organizations, and businesses to join hands in providing accurate, comprehensive, and timely information to help consumers make informed and safe decisions.
In recent years, consumer rights protection has been a key focus of provincial authorities, receiving strong support and active participation from both residents and businesses. The Yen Bai Department of Industry and Trade, in collaboration with the Provincial Consumer Rights Protection Association, has organized numerous activities that have generated widespread awareness. These include setting up exhibition booths displaying genuine and counterfeit goods at local trade fairs, working with media agencies to promote consumer rights laws and their enforcement, distributing leaflets, and providing hotline numbers for the provincial Anti-Smuggling, Trade Fraud, and Counterfeit Goods Steering Committee. Additionally, the province has cooperated with market regulators to intensify inspections, prevent the transportation and sale of smuggled, counterfeit, and intellectual property-infringing goods, and protect domestically produced goods. It has also successfully promoted the "Vietnamese People Prioritize Using Vietnamese Goods" campaign.
Activities in response to Vietnam Consumer Rights Day 2025 in the province are organized to call for, encourage, and promote the participation of government agencies, social organizations, businesses, and consumers in related activities. The initiative aims to urge businesses, production facilities, and service providers to uphold their responsibility in protecting consumer rights and to incorporate consumer rights protection as a key criterion in their business development plans.
Each consumer must also enhance their knowledge and skills to become a "smart consumer." This will gradually turn Consumer Rights Day into a driving force and a significant highlight in economic and social life, contributing to the establishment of a healthy business and consumer environment in Yen Bai province in particular and the entire country in general.
