Vietnam has emerged as a remarkable example of how trade and investment can fuel inclusive growth and development, according to Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
In an interview with a Switzerland-based Vietnam News Agency (VNA) correspondent ahead of the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, to which Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is leading a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, Grynspan underscored that UNCTAD strongly advocates for trade and investment as key drivers of inclusive development, with Vietnam exemplifying the potential.
The UNCTAD leader expressed her impression of Vietnam’s socio-economic progress, praising its efforts in improving the welfare of its people and achieving sustainable development.
She highlighted Vietnam’s accomplishments in three critical areas: education, logistics and seaports, and innovation, which Grynspan noted, have been pillars in the country’s growth.
Vietnam’s commitment to multilateral cooperation is also evident in its active participation in global forums such as the WEF, Grynspan added. This year marks PM Chinh’s second consecutive attendance at the Davos meeting, a move she considers highly significant.
The meeting provides an excellent platform for Vietnam to showcase its achievements and share its development model with the world, Grynspan remarked./.
