“The closure of The Saigon Times marks the end of an important chapter in Vietnam’s media landscape. Over the years, they were a trusted partner of the Dutch Consulate General and a highly respected voice within the international business community.
The Saigon Times has always been a helpful window into Vietnam’s business environment writing about economic trends, investment developments, and practical issues affecting our companies operating in Vietnam. For readers who wanted more than headlines and were interested in understanding the forces shaping Vietnam’s growth, it was a publication worth following.
Throughout our cooperation, their team consistently delivered work of the highest quality. Their reporting was insightful, professional, and impactful, helping to connect policymakers, diplomats, businesses, and investors with the developments shaping Vietnam’s economy. The journalists were a familiar and welcome presence at our events. Whether covering missions, business forums, networking activities, or official visits, their commitment to engaging was unwavering. As a result, we are not only losing a respected publication but also a reliable and valued partner.
We particularly appreciated the enthusiasm and creativity that the journalists of The Saigon Times brought to their work. Giving interviews was always a pleasure, thanks to their thoughtful questions, fresh ideas, and genuine curiosity. They never settled for the obvious angle but continuously sought deeper insights and meaningful stories.
We will henceforth miss this bridge between Vietnam, the diplomatic community, and the international business community. The contribution of The Saigon Times to fostering understanding, dialogue, and economic cooperation has been significant and will be remembered with appreciation.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the entire team and wish all former staff members every success in their future endeavors.” — Raissa Marteaux, Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in HCMC
