This morning (October 23), Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh led a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation to attend the BRICS Leaders' Meeting in Kazan, Russia from October 23-24.

The conference took place in the context of the world economic and political situation continuing to fluctuate in a complex manner. The global economy is showing signs of improvement but continues to face many difficulties and challenges, especially the risk of declining growth, prolonged high inflation, supply chain disruptions, climate change and traditional and non-traditional global security challenges that have a profound impact on the economic recovery and sustainable development efforts of countries.
In addition, new development trends of the era, especially digital transformation, green transformation and the outstanding development of technology and artificial intelligence, are also opening up development and cooperation prospects for emerging economies, including Vietnam.
