He shared Vietnam's priorities on attracting green finance and resources to take advantage of sustainable growth drivers, especially green growth, digital transformation, and sustainable energy transition; and strengthening cooperation with development partners, international financial institutions and global financial groups, including Standard Chartered.
The Government leader asked the bank to increase its support for Vietnam in the process of digital transformation, green transformation and energy transition towards sustainability and climate change adaptation.
