Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh gave the remarks during a meeting with leaders of the World Economic Forum (WEF) at the Country Strategic Dialogue on Vietnam in Tianjin, China today [June 26].

The event was part of the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champion of the WEF in the Chinese city from June 25-28.

At the dialogue, Chinh highlighted Vietnam's focus on establishing a socialist rule of law state, socialist democracy, and a socialist-oriented market economy.

“With the people at the core as the driving force for development, Vietnam consistently implements a foreign policy that emphasizes independence, self-reliance, and the diversification of foreign relations,” Chinh said.

The Prime Minister emphasized the country's efforts in three strategic breakthroughs: establishing comprehensive institutions, developing high-quality human resources, and building modern and synchronized infrastructure.

Regarding socio-economic development, Chinh acknowledged the significant impact of the global economy on Vietnam due to its high degree of openness.

Despite challenging circumstances, Vietnam has effectively responded to external risks, maintained macroeconomic stability, controlled inflation, and ensured major balances while promoting economic growth, Chinh said.

In addition, national defense and security have been firmly consolidated, creating a peaceful and stable environment for development, he noted.
