These are the foundation for Vietnam’s goods and services to access 59 markets and create favorable conditions to attract foreign capital inflows, Phuc added.
Fourthly, Vietnam has taken its global integration process to a new level. From being a responsible member of the world community, the country has actively involved and contributed to the formation of multilateral frameworks.
According to the prime minister, Vietnam’s internal strengths have been enhanced throughout the process, in turn contributing to the success of global integration.
In the time ahead, Phuc expected Vietnam to play a more active role in global integration, while taking into account the country’s own benefits and capabilities.
For economic integration, Phuc stated the country must not stand still to see opportunity pass by. However, internal strengths must be at the center of the process and integration in others fields must support economic integration.
Phuc noted the necessity to enhance capabilities in settling international disputes, protecting rights of the country, its people and enterprises.
Another important aspect of global integration is education, for which Phuc requested the sector must enhance its standards to develop high-quality human resources for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Phuc stressed the government would do its utmost to support enterprises in global integration. Each province and enterprise must be the beneficiary of the process itself, he stressed.
