Next week, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will lead a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation to attend the 15th Annual Pioneers Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, China, and work in China from June 24-27.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Pham Thanh Binh spoke to the press about the meaning and importance of the working trip.

The 2024 WEF Dalian Conference, themed “New Growth Horizons”, is the second largest in scale after the WEF Davos Conference with the participation of 1,600 delegates. It is organized with the spirit of being a place to converge and create new ideas, new fields, pioneering and innovative models that will shape future economic sectors.

Deputy Minister Pham Thanh Binh said that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is one of the few heads of government invited by WEF and host country China to attend the conference for two consecutive years. This shows that WEF and China highly value Vietnam's position, role and contribution to global economic growth as well as Vietnam's development vision for the economy in the future.

Therefore, the Prime Minister's working trip has many important meanings.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs acknowledged that the conference is an opportunity for Vietnam to grasp and contribute its voice to new issues, trends, new connotations, and new driving forces for world economic growth, and to exchange development and governance thinking at the national and global levels.

The conference is an opportunity to promote Vietnam's achievements in economic and social growth and development, conveying a strong message about a dynamic and innovative Vietnam, an attractive destination for global corporations.

The conference is also an opportunity for Vietnam to strengthen exchanges and promote relations with countries, partners and international organizations, affirming our country's role and position in the international community, contributing to effectively implementing the foreign policy of the 13th Party Congress.

Special features of the business trip

The Prime Minister is expected to have a dense and continuous program of activities, both bilaterally and multilaterally. This year, for the first time, the Prime Minister will deliver a special speech at the opening plenary session with Chinese Premier Li Qiang and leaders of other countries. In addition, the Prime Minister will speak at discussion sessions, chair dialogues and seminars with the business community dedicated to Vietnam.

In addition, the Prime Minister will share Vietnam's assessments, comments and views on the world economy, prospects, opportunities, challenges, and "great changes" taking place in the world, affecting global economic development in the short and long term.

With Vietnam's growth and development achievements, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed his belief that the participation of the Vietnamese delegation, especially Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, will make an important contribution to the overall success of the conference.

The Prime Minister conveyed a message about Vietnam's socio-economic development achievements, shared the vision, policies, development orientations and experience in macroeconomic management of the Party and Government of Vietnam.

The Head of Government will also call for cooperation and synergy between WEF and partners, especially in high-priority, emerging industries, and future industries with spillover effects such as artificial intelligence (AI), science, technology and innovation...

The Prime Minister held bilateral talks and meetings with senior Chinese leaders.

The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs shared that the two countries have recently agreed to deepen and elevate the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between Vietnam and China, and to build a community of shared future of strategic significance between Vietnam and China.

Maintaining high-level contacts between the two sides is extremely important in enhancing political trust and concretizing common perceptions and high-level agreements. Deputy Minister Pham Thanh Binh emphasized that this will positively contribute to the well-developed relationship.
