This diplomatic endeavour holds particular significance as Việt Nam is commemorating 75 years of diplomatic relations with both Poland and the Czech Republic this year. This is the first official visit by a Vietnamese Government leader to Poland in 15 years and to the Czech Republic in six years, aiming to strengthen ties with East-Central Europe. Notably, this will be PM Chính's second consecutive presence at the WEF Davos and his fourth WEF meeting participation as Prime Minister.

The Government leader’s European tour aims at concretising the Party’s foreign policy as outlined in a resolution adopted at the 13th National Party Congress, the Secretariat’s Directive No.25-CT/TW dated August 8, 2018, and the Politburo’s Conclusion No.12-KL/TW dated August 12, 2021. It will contribute to promoting the great national solidarity while delivering a message of Việt Nam's aspiration for a new era – the era of the nation’s rise.

PM Chinh’s working trips also affirm Việt Nam's consistent policy of valuing and strengthening political trust as well as bringing the traditional friendship and multifaceted cooperation with Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland to a deeper and more substantive and effective fashion in accordance with the new situation. Key areas of focus include discussions to elevate the relations and enhance collaboration across the areas of politics – diplomacy, defence – security, economy – trade – investment, education – training, culture – sports – tourism, environment, and health care, among others.

Additionally, WEF’s repeated invitations to PM Chính demonstrate Việt Nam's growing role, position and prestige in the international arena as well as reflect the country’s efforts to maintain peace and development, settle global issues, and share its perspectives on development mindsets and global governance amid profound changes in the world economy.

Việt Nam and WEF recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding on their partnership for the 2023-26 period. They inaugurated the Việt Nam Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in HCM City – WEF’s 19th such centre globally and second in Southeast Asia. — VNA/VNS
