VOV.VN - Vietnam always appreciates the World Trade Organisation’s cooperation and assistance to the country’s international economic integration, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
Meeting WTO Director General Okonjo-Iweala in Davos on January 17, Chinh expressed concern about rising trade protectionism and new standards related to climate change. He outlined difficulties faced by developing economies due to these barriers, and requested that the WTO discuss with developed countries to provide technical assistance to developing countries in this field.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala hailed Vietnam as a success story in socio-economic development, while appreciating the WTO’s cooperation with Vietnam.
She briefed the Vietnamese PM on a recent working session between a group of experts from the European Commission and the WTO to examine developing countries’ recommendations, and said the WTO has called for necessary technical assistance to developing economies.
She said a WTO Ministerial Conference on food safety and sanitary and phytosanitary measures would be held in late February 2024, and she expected that Vietnam would send delegates to the conference.
The visit to Vietnam by Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala from May 17-19 has reflected the significant attention of the WTO and its leader to the development of Vietnam since the beginning of its membership in early 2007, Ambassador Le Thi Tuyet Mai has said.
VOV.VN - Vietnam expects that the World Trade Oraganisation will continue its reform programme with the multilateral trading system forming the core so as to bring practical benefits to all countries, especially developing and underdeveloped ones, including Vietnam.
