The website article “The story behind Vietnam’s economic miracle” writes: “Today, Viet Nam is one of the stars of the emerging markets universe.” “Since 2010, Viet Nam’s GDP growth has been at least 5% per year, and in 2017 it peaked at 6.8%. With such rapid economic growth, the country grew from one of the poorest countries in the world to a comfortably middle-income one.”

The European Sting newspaper wrote: “While there is much for the region to consider as it sets its sights on ascending the global value chain, what is clear is that now is the time for ASEAN to shine. The theme of this year’s World Economic Forum summit, ASEAN 4.0: Entrepreneurship and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, could not be a more timely one.”
