As well as using its internal strength, Vietnam hopes the international community will join the WB in extending greater degrees of support and cooperation.
Ms Kwakwa congratulated Vietnam on the 2013 achievements elevating its international standing.
She recommended Vietnam take more practical measures to stabilize the macro economy, remove obstacles to free-flowing production and trade, maintain reasonable economic growth rates, and protect its vulnerable citizens.
The WB is united behind Vietnam’s development goals, she said.
