PM Phuc welcomes delegates to Vietnam reform forum
VOV.VN - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc gave a reception to foreign delegates to the Vietnam Reform and Development Forum 2019 held in Hanoi on September 19.
He said as Vietnam is pushing ahead with global integration, the country highly rates feedback from the international community towards adopting sound development policies and combating corruption and interest groups.
The Vietnamese government leader was appreciative of the World Bank (WB) leaders’ active and responsible support in cooperation with Vietnam, and hoped that through the forum, the WB and the international community would offer policy consultancy to the country.
On behalf of foreign guests, WB Vice President and chief economist Pinelope Goldberg said the WB maintains closer ties with Vietnam and expressed her desire to step up cooperation with the country in the time ahead.
Vietnam is a successful model in socio-economic development but also faces challenges, especially in overcoming middle income trap. The WB will do its utmost to help Vietnam during its development process by giving proper consultancy, the WB official said.
