Not only has Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen been known as a successful businessman who made a great contribution to open Vietnam to the World 35 years ago but he is also devoted to protecting sovereignty of islands of the homeland.

IPPG Chairman – Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen has been known as one of pioneering Vietnamese expatriates who have come back and contributed to the development of the homeland. After 35 years, now he can be proud of what he has been doing for the country and recognitions from the Vietnamese government.

He once shared with the media the story in 35 years ago. “One day in 1984 when I was in the USA, I got a call from a senior official of Vietnamese government and was invited to come back the motherland. The feeling of being over-joyed made me agree promptly as I was apart from my homeland so many years. At that moment, I was just thinking of visiting my country.

I had a chance to meet then-Prime Minister Pham Van Dong right after and was assigned an important mission that was to open international flights to Western countries.”

Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen thought that he was too young to handle this mission at the age of 34 but at the same time, he was also proud of being trusted by then-Prime Minister and trying to convince himself that he could make it with all of his effort.

He also expressed “Another thing that urged me to take this mission was the desire to contribute to the development of the country from the moment I saw my country from the airplane. All I could see was only poverty left by the war. As I walked around, there were rarely any restaurants or stores and the whole city was in darkness from 6PM because the shortage of power. So, I knew that I got to do something to help building up the economy.”

One year later, he somewhat accomplished the mission. In September 4th 1985, the Vietnam – Philippines air route was officially confirmed by then-President Marcos. 5 days later, the first flight from Vietnam to Philippines went into operation, which paved the way for Vietnam to step out to the world.

In 1986, at the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party, Vietnam has made an announcement to implement new renovations to the country. From my standpoint, opening a new flight route along with the country renovation implementation has opened numerous opportunities for Vietnam, which then was the beginning of obtaining succession of investments from around the world and proceeding to incorporation with international economy.”

With success keeps knocking on the door, achievements and dedication to the nation of IPPG Chairman keep prospering. On the other side, he is also a prominent and reliable associate in acquiring international investors for venture and country refinement.

Alongside with the success on the market, tireless labor and keen minds to build the country, Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen also devoted himself in community services. Especially, putting trust in future generations and improving the society. In addition, Vu A Dinh scholarship is one of them.

He shared: “Vu A Dinh scholarship has received many meaningful political and societal contributions of overseas Vietnamese over the years. Chairman Ms. Truong My Hoa (Vice President of Vietnam, also currently is the head of “For Hoang Sa - Truong Sa beloved Club”), Vu A Dinh Scholarship has become the bridge between Vietnam with overseas Vietnamese citizens and business owners. Because of the impassioned love for the nation, whenever Ms. Truong My Hoa mentioned Vu A Dinh scholarship, For Hoang Sa - Truong Sa beloved Club received massive support from overseas Vietnamese from around the world.

IPPG Chairman always devoted himself to various actions regarding building the country. “I have visited soldiers living on Truong Sa Islands countless times, currently I am the Vice President of For Hoang Sa - Truong Sa beloved Club. At first, when the club beginning funding to build schools on Truong Sa Islands, Sin Cowe Island, there were great concerns from the people regarding the successful rate. Nevertheless, the result has exceeded expectations. Nowadays, children living on the islands can fortunately go to school.” This may consider to be a significant and amazing devotion of Mr. Johnathan Hanh Nguyen when contributing to the country, and always wholeheartedly dedicated himself to Vietnam.
