The PM suggested FDI firms, along with Vietnam, take people as the centre, subject, resources, momentum and target of development, stressing economic growth should not be achieved at the expense of social progress and equality, and the environment.
The government leader noted that Vietnam has viewed green growth as a core element in economic restructuring and growth model reform towards higher productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness, and rapid, sustainable development. He called on foreign investors and partners to work together with Vietnam to achieve its net-zero commitments and green growth strategies and plans.
FDI firms and foreign investors should lead in changing both mindset and actions, pursuing sustainable development, transferring technologies, and promoting development research, he suggested.
The PM also called on development partners to enhance cooperation, especially in high-quality personnel training, share experience with Vietnam, provide consultations, and intensify financial and technological support to the country. He said Vietnam will ensure legal, legitimate rights and interests of businesses, guarantee political stability, social order and safety and national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity to help investors feel secured during operations; and ensure energy security towards green transition.
