The Vietnamese top legislator noted that economic cooperation between the two countries remains full of potential.

Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính stated that the Vietnamese Government always regards the WB as an important, close, and trusted partner that has provided great support and made positive contributions to the country’s socio-economic development, helping the Southeast Asian nation achieve significant accomplishments in its “Đổi mới” (renewal) process, international integration, and sustainable development.
