Associate Prof. Dr. Bui Quang Tuan, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Economics, said that the research and development of COVID-19 vaccine or cooperation in vaccine production technology transfer will facilitate Vietnam's vaccine diplomacy, creating bilateral partnership with other countries and reducing its dependence on outside sources of vaccines. He proposed that Vietnam restructure the National COVID-19 Vaccine Fund with more spending on research and development of COVID-19 vaccine and treatment medicine.

He said that it is necessary to complete mechanisms and policies related to vaccine diplomacy, while increasing the donation of vaccines and medical supplies to other countries to enhance the country’s influence and foster ties with other nations.
