Tokyo (VNA) – Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh highlighted the role of openness and cooperation spirit as crucial to help Asia overcome global financial crisis and facilitate economic growth in his keynote address at the 24th International Conference on the Future of Asia held in Tokyo on June 11-12.
Binh said achievements that Asia has reaped over the past decade are the result of the open-door policy, trade liberalisation promotion, regional connectivity strengthening to ensure a stable macro-economic environment.
He proposed five main measures that help Asia maintain growth in the new situation, including abiding by international law in general and the World Trade Organisation regulations, speeding up comprehensive economic integration for the common goal of sustainable and inclusive development, accelerating economies’ open-door policy for own interests of each country and common interests of the region, taking humans as a central factor and creativity as a driving force to catch up with new trends and maintain sustainable and long-term growth, strengthening trust to ensure an environment of peace and stability for development.
The Deputy PM shared achievements that Vietnam has made over the past three decades of reform, stressing that trust and start-up spirit are driving force for the country to continue with its policy of reform, integration and effective use of resources for rapid and sustainable development.
In order to fulfil socio-economic development goals until 2020, Vietnam is striving to build a constructive, transparent, action and service-oriented government on the back of openness and transparency, build a favourable and competitive business environment, and push up global integration, he said.
He added that Vietnam’s economic growth prospect is opening up cooperation opportunities for global firms in general and Japanese ones in particular.
Reviewing 45 years of Vietnam – Japan ties, the Deputy PM affirmed that the bilateral extensive strategic partnership is at the best and believed that the bilateral ties will further develop comprehensively and practically in diverse areas.
Themed “Keeping Asia open – How to achieve prosperity and stability”, the event discussed ties among major countries, trade tension, prospect and significance of new-generation trade agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the Inter-Korean peninsula situation, the US-DPRK Summit, financial demand and tools for infrastructure development in Asia.
