WTO Director-General praises Vietnam’s economic development

At a meeting with State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc on November 28 in Switzerland, WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweal emphasized that Vietnam has made many improvements since 2007, when the country joined the body, in GDP growth and poverty reduction, and in being in the top 20 largest exporting countries in the world. This is a miracle, she said, and Vietnam is an example for many developing countries to follow.
