DAVOS — Việt Nam has identified green growth, and green transformation as important growth engines in the long term and is actively implementing a roadmap to realise such goals.

Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Trần Hồng Hà made the statement as he attended and spoke at a session with corporations and investment funds on digital transformation, innovative start-ups, green finance and sustainable development held on Monday (local time) within the framework of the 53rd World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

Deputy PM Hà said Việt Nam was actively implementing a plan to amend and supplement the legal framework in order to mobilise and encourage green finance, technology, production, and investment, as well as properly implement green transition, energy transition, transition to a circular economy and low carbon economy.

In addition, with the need for digital transformation at all levels and in all fields, Việt Nam has strong demand for cooperation in digital transformation and exploitation of digital resources, he noted.
