PM concludes WEF Tianjin 2025 engagement, working visit to China
VOV.VN - A high-level Vietnamese delegation led by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh left Shanghai on June 26 evening, concluding a three-day working visit to China, where he also attended the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Tianjin.

With 30 intensive activities over three days, the Vietnamese delegation made a strong and constructive contribution to the success of the WEF meeting. In extensive discussions with WEF leaders, heads of state, and international organisations, Prime Minister Chính shared strategic insights on the volatile global economic landscape, and presented Vietnam’s inspiring development story. He highlighted the country’s bold vision, decisive action, and major reforms based on four key policy pillars, comprising science and technology, the private sector, deep international integration, and institutional reform.
Significantly, the Prime Minister proposed five strategic "pioneering priorities" for Asia, namely maintaining peace and stability; advancing science, technology and innovation; enhancing economic connectivity and global integration; promoting entrepreneurship and business development; and strengthening cultural and social ties with a people-centred policy approach.
He also introduced two specific initiatives - the "Asian Innovation Network" and the "Asian Innovation Portal" - aimed at connecting regional research institutions and universities while supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. These initiatives were well received and seen as positive contributions toward the vision of a peaceful, prosperous, and thriving "Asian Century."
At the forum, the Prime Minister held meetings with numerous heads of state, government leaders, and business partners. Notably, during talks with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, the two sides reaffirmed mutual political trust, promoted substantive cooperation, and agreed to better manage differences. The talks laid the foundation for a healthy, stable, and long-term development of the Vietnam–China Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership, in line with shared strategic interests.
