Hailing the sound cooperation between Vietnam and WEF, the Government leader also asked WEF to support Vietnam in organizing events that could bring together leading world politicians and executives to talk about the country’s economic situation and developmental orientations as well as ASEAN’s prospects. He revealed that a high-level Vietnamese Government delegation would attend the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in January 2015.
