The World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Country Strategic Dialogue on Vietnam draws dozens of executives of global firms.

Attended by WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab, and some 50 leaders of global corporations, the dialogue was the only national-level event organised by WEF during its 2023 Annual Meeting, aiming to introduce Vietnam's experience as a model for economic recovery and efforts in transitioning its growth model. It provided an opportunity to exchange views on Vietnam’s business-investment directions, policies, and environment.

PM Chinh said Vietnam is focusing on reforming the growth model, restructuring the economy, promoting innovation, digital transformation and energy transition, and developing a green and circular economy.

He suggested that the WEF and its members continue to collaborate with and support Vietnam in technology, finance, high-quality human resources training, and modern governance.
