Next week, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will attend the 15th Annual Pioneers Meeting of the WEF in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China, and participate in several official engagements in the country.
Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Sao Mai highlighted that this year's WEF Dalian is one of the most significant events in the Asia-Pacific region, attracting over 1,500 delegates, including Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Polish President Andrzej Sebastian Duda, and nearly 100 leaders and representatives from various countries, organizations, and international businesses.
The Prime Minister's consecutive invitations to attend the conference reflect the importance and appreciation of Vietnam's role and contributions to global and regional economic growth by the WEF and the international business community.
Ambassador Pham Sao Mai noted that the Prime Minister's participation opens up opportunities for interaction and integration between the Vietnamese economy and the global economy. This event allows Vietnam to showcase its recent socio-economic development achievements and present an image of a dynamic, actively integrating, and attractive country to global corporations.
Through the conference, Vietnam can gain insights into new global economic issues and trends, exchange development strategies and governance practices, and contribute to solving common global challenges. Additionally, it offers Vietnam the opportunity to strengthen relationships with countries, partners, and international organizations, further enhancing its international standing.
The Ambassador affirmed that the Prime Minister's participation will promote cooperation and partnership with the WEF in a more substantive direction, especially in areas such as green transformation, digital transformation, energy, and science and technology.

Six key topics will be discussed at the conference:

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will deliver a special speech at the opening plenary session and chair several discussion sessions. He will engage in dialogues with major economic groups and innovative enterprises on cooperation opportunities, new solutions to global development issues, and Vietnam's economic development strategy. Additionally, he will hold bilateral meetings with leaders of countries, international organizations, and large corporations.
This marks the second consecutive year that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has visited and attended the WEF Conference in China, reflecting the high regard of the Vietnamese Party and Government for the Vietnam-China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership.
Ambassador Pham Sao Mai stated that the Prime Minister's visit provides an opportunity for senior leaders of both countries to discuss specific measures to continue effectively implementing the common perceptions reached between the highest leaders of the two Parties and two countries.
The year 2025 is significant as it marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and China (January 18, 1950 - January 18, 2025).
Following historic visits by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong (October 2022) and General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping (December 2023), the two Parties have established a new position for bilateral relations, building a Vietnam-China Community of Shared Future with strategic significance.
To harness the potential and strengths of Vietnam-China relations, the two countries need to maintain close coordination at all levels, across all channels and fields.
"I firmly believe that, based on the advantages, potentials, needs, and existing foundation of bilateral relations, with the determination and joint efforts of the two Parties, countries, and peoples, the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership will develop strongly in the coming time, for the benefit of the two peoples and for peace and development in the region and the world," Ambassador Pham Sao Mai expressed.
