UNCTAD leader hails Vietnam’s role in global trade
VOV.VN - Vietnam has emerged as a prime example of how trade and investment can drive inclusive growth and development, according to Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
In a recent interview ahead of the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, where Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is leading a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, Grynspan emphasized that UNCTAD advocates for trade and investment as essential drivers of inclusive development, with Vietnam standing out as a prime example.
She expressed her admiration for Vietnam’s socio-economic progress, commending its efforts in improving the well-being of its citizens and achieving sustainable development.
Grynspan highlighted Vietnam’s successes in three key areas: education, logistics and seaports, and innovation—pillars that have supported the country’s growth.
She also noted Vietnam’s strong commitment to multilateral cooperation, demonstrated through its active participation in global forums such as the WEF. This year marks Prime Minister Chinh’s second consecutive attendance at the Davos meeting, which Grynspan deemed highly significant.
The WEF meeting provides an excellent platform for Vietnam to present its achievements and share its development model with the world, she added.
