Warsaw (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended the Vietnam-Poland business forum held in Warsaw on January 17 as part his official visit to the European country.

At the forum, Polish Minister of Development and Technology Krzysztof Paszyk and Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien reviewed the status of economic cooperation, introduced the potential and needs for investment collaboration, and proposed measures to boost bilateral economic, trade, and investment relations between the two countries.

In his remarks, PM Chinh said the countries have participated in the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), while making efforts to ratify the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA) and to facilitate Poland's accession to ASEAN’s Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC). He urged businesses to capitalise on these mechanisms to strengthen economic, trade, and investment ties between the two nations and their regions.

He shared that during his visit, he had meetings with all high-ranking Polish leaders. Both sides expressed mutual trust and sincerity and agreed to foster cooperation and support each other. They held that bilateral economic ties have yet to match the nations’ relations, potential, unique advantages, opportunities, and competitive edges.

Urging Vietnamese and Polish businesses to enhance connectivity, exchange experiences, and identify priority areas for joint work, PM Chinh assured that the Vietnamese Government will serve as a facilitator and leader, establishing policies and creating a foundation of trust for them to collaborate and thrive.

He said Vietnam will build an environment of peace, cooperation, stability and development; facilitate robust business operations; and issue preferential investment policies in high-tech industries, semiconductors, information technology, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and green energy transition, contributing to the country’s rapid and sustainable development.

Vietnam is pursuing its aspirations and vision to become a developing country with modern industry and high average income by 2030, and a developed country with high income by 2045. In the immediate term, Vietnam aims for a growth rate of at least 8% by 2025, with double-digit figures in subsequent years. Therefore, alongside three strategic breakthroughs regarding institutions, infrastructure and human resources training, Vietnam is focusing on renewing traditional growth drivers such as investment, export and consumption, while promoting new ones, especially in sectors with high intellectual content, he added.

The PM expressed a desire for businesses from both countries to strengthen their connections, building on their existing effectiveness and striving for even greater success. This should be achieved in the spirit of harmonised benefits, shared risks and listening and understanding each other; sharing a common vision, awareness, and actions; working together, benefiting together, winning together, and growing together; sharing joy, happiness and pride”.

In a direct call to Polish companies, Chinh urged increased investment in Vietnam, fostering a win-win partnership./.
