The project aims to improve the Government’s capacity in economic diplomacy, build up a knowledge network of economic development policies, and boost the business-government dialogue.
Under the project, a training program for senior leaders of Vietnamese businesses will be organized annually to equip them with profound knowledge of managing financial markets, energy policies, infrastructure development and the globalization’s impacts on the business system.
According to Deputy Foreign Minister Vũ Dũng, with the effective supports from the UNDP, the Project would help Việt Nam timely obtain accurate information about the world’s business tendencies as well deepen its integration into the international investment and financial environment.
