PM Pham Minh Chinh to attend “Future of Asia” forum
VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is scheduled to attend the 26th International Conference on The Future of Asia from May 20 to May 21, with the event set to be held in the form of a video conference and hosted by Japanese media firm Nikkei Inc.
The PM’s attendance at the function will come following an invitation sent by Tsuyoshi Hasebe, president and chief executive officer of Nikkei Inc.
The Future of Asia represents an international gathering that sees political, economic, and academic leaders from throughout the Asia-Pacific region freely give their frank opinions on regional matters and the role of Asia in the wider world.
The annual event was first launched in 1995, although it was cancelled last year due to the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It is widely regarded as one of the most important global conferences in Asia.
The 25th version of the event saw the conference open in Tokyo on May 30, 2019, with the theme of “Seeking a new global order - Overcoming the chaos.”
During that occasion, former Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh gave a speech on the first day of the conference.
