Those welcoming Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the Vietnamese delegation at Tianjin Binhai International Airport included Vice Mayor Wang Shufeng; Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam He Wei; a liaison officer for the Chinese Premier; Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Thanh Binh; staff from the Vietnamese Embassy; and members of the Vietnamese community in China.

This is the first official visit to China by a top Vietnamese leader in 2025, following the successful state visit to Vietnam by General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping in April. It also takes place as the two countries celebrate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations and jointly implement the Year of People-to-People Exchanges.

Under the theme “Entrepreneurship for a New Era,” PM Pham Minh Chinh will attend the opening session, a policy dialogue with the WEF Executive Chairman, a discussion on whether the Asian Century is facing challenges, and other related activities.

Together with leaders of governments, businesses, international organizations, and academia, the Vietnamese Government leader will engage in discussions across five main themes with a focus on decoding the global economy, China’s outlook, industrial transformation, investing in people and planet, and energy and new materials.

On the sidelines of the forum, PM Chinh is expected to meet with WEF leaders, heads of state and government, and representatives of international organizations to promote cooperation across multiple areas.

Vietnam’s participation in the event reaffirms its consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization, and diversification; and its active, proactive approach to comprehensive, extensive, and effective international integration. It also conveys the country’s message of determination and aspiration to enter a new era of national development.

In his bilateral meetings with China, the Vietnamese Government leader will hold talks with senior Chinese leaders; attend the Vietnam–China Business Forum; work with executives of major Chinese corporations; meet with the Vietnamese community and students in China; and visit several economic and social institutions, including a stock exchange and a free trade zone, to study China’s development models.

The PM’s visit will further translate into action the key common understandings reached between the top leaders of the two Parties and countries. It is designed to maintain and build on the positive momentum in Vietnam–China relations, while enhancing Vietnam’s role in global cooperation frameworks and creating new, practical opportunities to support the country’s sustainable and prosperous development in the new era.
