2020 is viewed as the most successful year of Vietnam in the past five years. Despite being battered by COVID-19 and natural disasters, Vietnam has completed its “dual targets”, and becomes a standout model in coronavirus prevention.

While many countries in the world suffered negative growth, Vietnam has posted a growth rate of 2.91 percent, among the highest in the world, with stable macro economy and inflation rate kept under 4 percent. Amidst global downturn and supply chain disruption, Vietnam enjoyed a record import-export revenue of 543.9 billion USD, with trade surplus exceeding 19 billion USD./.VNA
