Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh left Hanoi on June 24 morning for the 15th World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting of the New Champions in China, which will take place in Dalian city, Liaoning province, and working sessions from June 24-27.

The trip is made at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab.

The WEF meeting, themed "Next Frontiers for Growth", is expected to witness the participation of 1,600 delegates from nearly 80 countries and regions. It will harness collective insights to identify and advance new models of sustainable and equitable growth, with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation.

PM Chinh is among the few government leaders who have been invited by the WEF and host China to attend the event for two consecutive years. This demonstrates the importance they attach to Vietnam’s position and role in and contributions to global economic growth, as well as its development vision for the future economy.

While in China, PM Chinh and his entourage are scheduled to carry out bilateral activities with China.
