The symposium, entitled “The Vietnamese leaders in development program,” is held within the framework of the Foreign Ministry’s Dialogue Programme with the Kennedy School’s Vietnam Program and the Ho Chi Minh City-based Fulbright Economics Teaching Program.
In his opening speech on July 2, Deputy Foreign Minister Vu Dung said Vietnam has recorded encouraging economic achievements after 20 years of renovation and international integration but it is still facing the daunting challenge of stabilizing its macro-economy and creating a driving force for its further development.
Mr Dung said he hoped the participants will provide useful advice for the country’s economic growth in both immediate and long terms.
Dwight Perkins, who leads Harvard’s Vietnam Program, said since 1989, the university has trained and technically assisted researchers on Vietnam’s economic development and will help figure out the roots of its current difficulties.
The three-day symposium focuses on three main topics, namely Vietnam and its national economy, energy policy, and infrastructure development.
Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai is scheduled to chair a debate and hear opinions and recommendations on economic issues in Vietnam, particularly those related to infrastructure, energy and urban development.
