Paris (VNA) – A delegation from the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee’s Commission for Policies and Strategies, led by Nguyen Kim Son, Deputy Head of the Commission, had a working session with France’s Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) in Paris on July 6 to exchange experience in public policymaking.
During the meeting, Son briefed the French side on Vietnam's development process, its socialist-oriented market economy, and the Commission’s role in advising the Party leadership on major socio-economic policies, institutional reform and national development strategies.
The delegation expressed interest in learning from the CESE’s experience in policy consultation, particularly its mechanisms for engaging representative organisations and citizens in the policymaking process.
CESE representatives introduced the Council’s structure and advisory role to the French Government and Parliament on economic, social and environmental policies.
They also highlighted its role in promoting social dialogue, evaluating public policies and serving as a bridge between the State and civil society.
The discussions provided Vietnam with useful references on France’s policy consultation model, especially in mobilising social expertise and fostering inclusive dialogue.
The working visit to the CESE also contributed to strengthening bilateral cooperation in public policy development as the two countries continue to deepen their strategic partnership.
During the visit, the delegation also met officials at the Embassy of Vietnam in France and paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at his statue in Montreau Park, Montreuil city./.
