Vietnam will closely cooperate with China and other Asian countries to overcome difficulties caused by the on-going global crisis, said Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) in China, on April 18.

PM Dung proposed all countries together step up the regional cooperation, particularly the Greater Sub-Mekong Region cooperation, by accelerating the construction of economic corridors and the implementation of the sub-regional agreement on facilitating cross-border transport.

The PM said Vietnam resolutely rejects trade protection in any forms, and continues its support to the trade liberalisation programme. He suggested developed countries to help developing ones, especially in capital, technology, marketing and trade expansion.

Briefing the forum of Vietnam’s economic situation, PM Dung stressed that the Southeast Asian country would continue to be a dynamic economy and a trustworthy destination for investors.

The Vietnamese leader highlighted the Boao Forum as a major economic forum of Asia, which gathers politicians, scholars and business people for exchanging experiences and sharing new ideas and solutions to an effective cooperation for the development and prosperity of each country, and for peace, stability, cooperation and development of the whole Asia.

He expressed his belief that at the forum, opinions and suggestions would be deeply discussed to find ways to overcome difficulties and fully tap potentials and advantages of Asia in order to maintain its position as a dynamically-developing economic centre in the world.

At the BFA, state leaders, businessmen and scholars of Asian countries will discuss ways to cope with challenges for Asia brought by the on-going financial crisis as well as long-term socio-economic prospects and trends in the region and the world.

The BFA, set up in 2001, is an annual high-level meeting of political leaders with business circle in Asia as well as the world. The forum aims to promote the regional development targets through intensifying regional economic integration.
