US-Vietnam Chamber Unites Leaders for Business and Cooperation

The US-Vietnam General Chamber of Commerce, a Southern California-based business organization, is set to convene 500 business, government, and community leaders on October 9 in Monterey Park, California.

The Chamber, co-founded by Sam Ma and Dan Cheng in 2019, has been instrumental in connecting entrepreneurs, companies, government representatives, and community organizations. Since its establishment, the Chamber has played a pivotal role in facilitating trade and investment activities between the United States and Vietnam.

One notable example of the Chamber’s work is its support for the economic and civic cooperation between Monterey Park, California, and Phú Mỹ in Vietnam’s Bà Rịa, Vũng Tàu region. The Chamber helped establish a formal agreement between the two local governments, covering areas such as economic development, trade, investment, import-export activity, logistics, tourism, education, healthcare, workforce development, culture, science, and technology.

Sam Ma, co-founder of the US-Vietnam General Chamber of Commerce, is a businessman and community leader who has been actively involved in building connections among Vietnamese American, Chinese American, and broader Southern California business communities. His efforts have focused on bringing together business leaders and organizations that might otherwise have limited opportunities to work directly with one another.

The October 9 gathering will bring together business leaders, industry representatives, government officials, and community organizations to connect U.S. and Vietnamese enterprises, and to expand cooperation between cities and communities in both countries. The Chamber aims to facilitate the formation of sustainable business relationships that continue beyond individual meetings, delegations, or events.

The Chamber’s broader mission is to build direct relationships between American and Vietnamese entrepreneurs while creating pathways for trade, investment, business delegations, and city-to-city cooperation. The organization supports business and government delegations from Vietnam by connecting visiting leaders and companies with businesses, local officials, and community networks in Southern California.

Ma, the co-founder of the Chamber, emphasizes the importance of building relationships that can become real partnerships, real investment, and lasting opportunities. The Chamber’s work reflects the unique role of Southern California’s diverse business communities, which seek to build partnerships across industries and cultures while strengthening Southern California’s role as a gateway for U.S.-Asia commerce.

Looking forward, the Chamber plans to continue expanding its work through business delegations, trade and investment initiatives, networking programs, community partnerships, market-access connections, and city-to-city relationships. The organization’s long-term objective is to connect U.S. and Vietnamese entrepreneurs, strengthen bilateral business relationships, broaden cooperation between cities and communities, and create lasting opportunities for future generations.
