Meanwhile, the US investors expressed their delight over the sound Vietnam – US relations, which have been developed in a practical and effective fashion, with the economic – trade – investment cooperation having an important role to play.
A lot of measures were discussed at the meeting, helping concretise the targets that both nations have set during the state visit to Vietnam by President Joe Biden.
He also laid stress on Vietnam’s recent economic achievements despite complicated developments in the world, while pointing out several hindrances of the economy such as slow recovery of industrial production, inflation under pressure, and bottlenecks in corporate bond markets and realty market.
Vietnam always treasures the sound collaboration and valuable support from the US partners, and wants to continue receiving assistance from the US education establishments in education training and policy consultancy, the PM said.
US scholars and leaders from the Vietnamese ministries, branches and sectors discussed measures to help Vietnam develop new growth momentums, and enhance its resilience and competitive edge.
They highly valued Vietnam’s ability to handle crisis such as COVID-19, global economic recession, and disruption of supply chain.
They pointed to challenges faced by the world and Vietnam in particular, such as strategic competition, diseases, climate change, shrinking agricultural land and low productivity, and suggested Vietnam sharpen focus on key growth pillars, including exports, investments, consumption, and attraction of high-quality investment.
Vietnam should work to complete its institutions, develop digital infrastructure, and better innovation capacity while paying due heed to improving high-quality human resources, they added.
Chinh welcomed the US scholars’ suggestions, describing they are practical for Vietnam’s outlining of socio-economic development policy./.
