On behalf of the Government, PM Phuc highly valued the Vietnam Executive Leadership Program (VELP), a collaborative initiative between the Vietnamese Government, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Vietnam Program at the Harvard Kennedy School.

PM Phuc said that Vietnam is selecting solutions to convert itself into a ‘new economic tiger’. Hence, he proposed experts research and propose appropriate themes for VELP.
