Dung affirmed that Vietnam persists in its open-door policy and international integration, remains an active and responsible member of the WTO, and always values and supports the multilateral trade system with the WTO at its core.
He appreciated the results achieved at the MC13 and the Director-General's personal contributions to the success of the conference, and affirmed the commitment of the Vietnamese delegation to maintaining its close and active coordination with the WTO Secretariat and other WTO members to fully and effectively implement the results of the MC13 in the coming time./.
