Mr. Chinh made the remarks at the plenary session of the World Economic Forum’s 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, China, on Tuesday.
He urged efforts to effectively address regional and global issues based on principles of laws and ensure the harmonious interests of all parties involved, while not politicizing and discriminating against global science, technology, and innovation.
Vietnam’s success over the past four decades is attributed to the key terms: “Reform, Innovation and Integration”, he said. Vietnam has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging from a 30year position as a war-torn, embargoed country to a dynamic middle-income nation.
PM Chinh suggested that the WEF, its partners, and the business community enhance their roles in offering guidance, providing support, and advocating public-private partnerships while also taking the lead in guiding national development.
He called on developed countries to support and collaborate with poorer, developing countries, especially in improving institutions of a market economy; developing a strategic infrastructure with a focus on transportation, digital infrastructure, and climate change adaptation infrastructure, and social, healthcare and education infrastructure; and transferring advanced technologies and support for the training and development of human capital, particularly in high-quality human resources.
Vietnam has been playing a key role in actively contributing to an ASEAN Community, which is strong, united, cooperates with unity in diversity. Vietnam, alongside ASEAN, will deepen collaboration with China, the World Economic Forum, and other partners to champion new drivers of growth, said PM Chinh.
“Simultaneously, we will make every effort to maintain and strengthen an environment of peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world. Every nation, enterprise, and individual should unite in pursuit of the next frontiers for growth, prosperous development of the world, and a happier and better life for all people,” he noted.
