Mr Sang’s attendance aims to speed up the implementation of Vietnam’s foreign policy and promote the country’s role in APEC through its active contributions to APEC’s cooperation and the major contents of this meeting.
Vietnam will also take the advantage of APEC cooperation programmes to stabilize the macroeconomy, boosting the economic restructuring and maintaining a reasonable growth rate as well as strengthening cooperation and gaining APEC’s support for its security and development issues.
The country has been interested in APEC’s cooperation in strengthening regional economic connectivity, boosting creative growth, ensuring food and water resources security and coping with natural disasters, especially when it is working hard on economic restructuring and growth model shift in a sustainable manner.
Since it joined APEC in 1998, Vietnam has always been an active, dynamic and responsible member of the forum, proactively promoting APEC cooperation in various fields.
The country has also played host to more than 70 initiatives and activities in such areas as trade, investment, technical cooperation, health, emergency preparedness and anti-terrorism.
It has successfully organized the 14th APEC Leaders’ Meeting and the 18th foreign-Economic Ministerial Meeting, the APEC Business Summit, six ministerial meetings, three senior officials’ meetings and hundreds of group meetings.
Vietnam has made active and proactive contributions to the operations of working groups and the building of APEC’s strategies and action plans in all fields. The country has seriously implemented APEC’s commitments and proactively proposed many initiatives. It served as Vice Chair of the APEC Health Working Group in the 2009-2010 term.
Vietnam has increasingly heightened its prestige ever since other APEC members and agreed to support its role as Co-chair of the APEC Emergency Preparedness Working Group in the 2012-2013 term.
