The nation has issued the National Digital Transformation Program by 2025, with an orientation towards 2030 and focused on training to meet the demands of a digital society, he added.

The summit attracted the participation of 10,000 delegations, including 20 heads of state and government from Egypt, Paraguay, Georgia, Serbia, Rwanda, Kuwait and Tunisia and leaders from international organizations.

In his remarks delivered at the summit, Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala stated that Viet Nam is an important link in the process of restructuring supply chains in the region and the world.

*On the sidelines of the WGS, Pham met Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Turkmenistan Raşit Meredow, and Foreign Minister of Maldives Abdulla Shahid.

He recommended these countries continue close coordination with Viet Nam at international forums and organizations and foster collaboration in prioritized areas including trade, tourism, investment, climate change adaption, transport and aviation.

* During the Deputy Foreign Minister's visit to the UAE, he co-chaired the political consultation with UAE's counterpart Saeed Mubarak Al-Hajeri, and had a meeting with UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade Thani Al Zeyoudi.

The bilateral trade value hit US$8.8 billion in 2022, up over 35 percent from the previous year, making the UAE the largest trade partner of Viet Nam in the Middle East.

Both sides pledged to join hands in implementing political-diplomatic, economic and cultural activities in 2023 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the bilateral diplomatic ties.
