The 2024 WEF Dalian Conference will take place from June 25-27, 2024 with the theme "New Growth Horizons", the second largest in scale after the WEF Davos Conference.

With the participation of 1,600 delegates, WEF Dalian 2024 is organized with the spirit of being a place to converge and create new ideas, new fields, pioneering and innovative models that will shape future economic sectors.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is one of the few Heads of Government invited by WEF and host country China to attend the Conference for two consecutive years.

The Government Electronic Information Portal will continue to update information on the Prime Minister's speech and content at WEF Dalian.

Since Vietnam and WEF established relations in 1989, cooperation between Vietnam and WEF has been promoted and developed in many fields by leaders of both sides.

Leaders of the two sides will promote high-level contacts and exchanges, especially between Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and WEF Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab at the WEF Tianjin Conference (June 2023), the 41st ASEAN Summit (November 2022) and the 43rd ASEAN Summit (September 2023).

Vietnam and WEF have coordinated to organize many important conferences. Of which, the first National Strategic Dialogue (CSD) between Vietnam and WEF (October 29, 2021) with the theme "Strengthening public-private partnerships: A key driver of comprehensive recovery and sustainable, inclusive and innovative development" is considered the most successful national strategic dialogue that WEF has coordinated with a country to organize, in terms of participation level, content, timing and organization.

At the 2023 WEF Tianjin Conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh co-chaired the 2nd National Strategy Dialogue (June 26, 2023) with the theme "Promoting new growth drivers to create the country's future".

Also at the WEF Tianjin Conference, the two sides signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Vietnam - WEF cooperation for the period 2023-2026, witnessed by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Professor Klaus Schwab, which is an important foundation to promote bilateral cooperation in the new period.

At the WEF Davos 2024 Conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the 3rd National Strategic Dialogue (January 16, 2024) with the theme "New Development Horizons: Promoting Transformation, Opening Up New Growth Drivers in Vietnam".

On the occasion of WEF Davos 2024, Ho Chi Minh City and WEF signed a Memorandum of Understanding on establishing the Fourth Industrial Revolution Center in Ho Chi Minh City. This will be part of the WEF's global network - one of the first forums to discuss the fourth industrial revolution and is currently implementing a number of specific and substantive initiatives such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution Centers in the United States, India and Japan.
