The Government chief spoke highly of the OECD’s achievements over the past six decades.

With its mission “building better policies for better lives”, the OECD has become a leading international forum for policy debate, making positive contribution to improving economic policies and economic governance.

Based on science-based, multi-dimensional, inter-sectoral approach, the OECD has shared many valuable lessons and good practices on trade, investment, environmental protection, climate change, sustainable and inclusive development, with developing countries.

PM Phuc called on the OECD to continue promoting new growth driving forces and models, upholding rules-based multilateralism, formulating new rules and standards in global economic governance among others in favor of achieving sustainable and inclusive development goals for all.

He also expressed his pleasure at the positive and substantial growth of the Viet Nam-OECD cooperation over the past time and called for more support and assistance from the OECD for Viet Nam to realize the goal of becoming a high middle-income country by 2030 and high-income country by 2045.
