Ms. Rebeca Grynspan emphasized that UNCTAD always considers Vietnam a model of development, confidence and optimism in the context of the current volatile world situation. She, also the former Vice President of Costa Rica, always considers Vietnam a model of development and wishes to visit Vietnam.

The UNCTAD Secretary-General shared that on the occasion of its 60th anniversary this year, UNCTAD will organize a global conference and hopes that Vietnam will send leaders to attend. At the same time, he hopes that Vietnam will participate and actively contribute to the organization of the UNCTAD Ministerial Conference in 2025.

The Prime Minister thanked the Secretary-General for his good feelings towards Vietnam; affirmed that Vietnam highly appreciates the role of UNCTAD in supporting developing countries, including Vietnam, in providing advice and support in building development policies, contributing to maintaining a prosperous life for the people.

The Prime Minister affirmed that thanks to UNCTAD's support, Vietnam is confident and steadfast in its proposed development paths; expressed his hope that UNCTAD will continue to support Vietnam in all aspects of development, help train human resources, and especially create conditions to recruit more Vietnamese experts to work at the UNCTAD Secretariat in the coming time.

The Prime Minister also hopes that UNCTAD will further promote its role in promoting global cooperation and South-South cooperation, especially the tripartite cooperation model between Vietnam and a developed country and a less developed country.

On this occasion, the Prime Minister invited the Secretary-General to soon visit Vietnam to continue discussing measures to strengthen cooperation between the two sides.

*Previously, at the discussion session The End of Development? within the framework of WEF Davos, the UNCTAD Secretary General said: The world is moving from a multi-crisis period to a prolonged crisis period with challenges such as geopolitical developments, global elections, the rise of nationalism and changing rules at the end of the 30-year super cycle.

She stressed that in the context of a rapidly changing world, the need for adaptation is more important than ever, especially a long-term vision with comprehensive policies on human resources, labor, education, health and the environment.

UNCTAD Secretary-General commented: Vietnam is a typical example. As a medium-sized country, no one thought that Vietnam would develop and diversify so quickly. Vietnam made good use of what was available and at the same time changed policies to adapt flexibly.
