During his trip, Prime Minister Chinh held talks and meetings with most of the high-ranking leaders of the State, Government, and Parliament of Poland and the Czech Republic, and held talks with the Swiss President.

A key outcome is that all the three European countries expressed a desire and agreed to upgrade and enhance their relations with Vietnam. Specifically, Vietnam and Poland aim to elevate their relationship to a Strategic Partnership, Vietnam and the Czech Republic upgraded their ties to a Strategic Partnership, and Vietnam and Switzerland elevated their relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership.

At the WEF’s 55th Annual Meeting, PM Chinh had a packed schedule, as he participated in and delivered speeches at four discussion sessions, three of them exclusively designed by the WEF for Vietnam.

He held meetings with nearly 20 leaders from various countries and international organizations. Together with leaders from ministries, sectors, and localities, he engaged in exchanges and dialogues with nearly 250 top economic groups in five separate discussion sessions.

At the WEF meeting, the PM and the Vietnamese delegation conveyed a strong message of sincerity, cooperation, solidarity, and responsibility toward the international community; and expressed the country’s readiness and desire to foster effective cooperation with partners.

The Government leader’s trip continues to implement and affirm Vietnam's foreign policy, and helps further deepen the country's relations with its partners, enhance its position and role, and highlight its responsible contributions to the global community. It also conveys a message of determination and ambition to attract international resources to drive national development in the new era.
