Joo-Ok Lee said that Viet Nam plays an important role in enhancing cooperation with multilateral mechanisms.
Firstly, in the rapidly evolving digital economy, multilateral agreements can strategically position Viet Nam for growth. ASEAN member states are actively discussing the establishment of a common market and standards for the digital economy, with the WEF providing support for this regional initiative.
Secondly, the WEF highly values Viet Nam's cooperation with multilateral mechanisms, particularly as emerging technologies tend to favor bold, early adopters. Viet Nam's proactive and effective measures are evident, as reflected in recently released data from Ha Noi showcasing the country's remarkable economic growth.
Regarding Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's tour to Switzerland to attend the 55th WEF annual meeting, the WEF expert held that Pham's engagement represents confidence among all stakeholders, and signals their commitment to global cooperation while providing an opportunity to convey key messages and listen to feedback from all involved parties.
The WEF is making every effort to ensure that Pham's tour yields meaningful outcomes, such as expanding investment networks, forging partnerships.
He highlighted the theme of this year's forum: "Collaboration for the Intelligent Age" as it shows the world's shift from the industrial age to the smart age.
This transition underscores the need to anticipate the transformative power of emerging technologies, assess future scenarios, and leverage technological advancements for economic development.
As Viet Nam eyes a new era and the status of a high-income country by 2045, Lee recommended Viet Nam to grasp new technologies, transform itself and further train its workforce./.
