Participating as part of the Vietnamese delegation attending the 29th Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum, Hang stressed that APEC should continue serving as the leading platform for economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.
She identified three key priorities through 2035 including promoting free and open trade and investment, strengthening the resilience of economies and supply chains, and leveraging science, technology, innovation, digital transformation, and green transition to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth.
