Dalian (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on June 26 met Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), on the sidelines of the 15th WEF’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2024 in Dalian city, China’s Liaoning province.
The PM spoke highly of Schwab’s vision, and the WEF’s important role in promoting dialogues and cooperation globally, especially public-private partnership.
Stressing the success of the Dalian meeting, Chinh said its theme “Next Frontiers for Growth” has inspired countries and businesses to pursue innovation and join hands in building the global economy in the future.
Schwab expressed his impression of Chinh’s message delivered at the plenary session, noting the WEF and its member groups highly value Vietnam’s prospects, investment environment, and economic achievements. He described the Southeast Asian nation as a model of economic growth and the utilisation of opportunities generated by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The two sides noted with pleasure significant developments in cooperation between Vietnam and the WEF over the recent past, particularly the signing of the 2023-2026 memorandum of understanding at the 14th WEF’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions in China's Tianjin last year.
They agreed to effectively carry out the MoU and develop the centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Ho Chi Minh City, scheduled to be officially launched in September, into a leading connection centre in the region.
The WEF said it welcomes Vietnam to join its Fourth Industrial Revolution Network, calling this an opportunity for the country to share technology knowledge and enhance cooperation in science-technology and innovation.
Schwab conveyed an invitation to Chinh to attend the WEF annual meeting in Davos in 2025.
Later the same day, the Vietnamese leader travelled to Beijing for other activities there./.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
