Agriculture, farmers, and rural areas have made important contributions in various aspects to stabilising macroeconomics, ensuring major balances, sustaining growth, and boosting economic recovery in 2021 when the economy faces serious COVID-19-induced impacts.

Vietnam’s successes in maintaining macro-economic stability and major economic balances over the past time were thanks to the sound and flexible policies adopted by the Party and the Government, Cuban Ambassador to Vietnam Orlando Nicolás Hernández Guillén said.
