PM Dung made the statement while meeting Prof. Joseph Nye from Harvard University in Hanoi on January 12.

The Vietnamese government leader expressed his joy at the development of cooperation between the two countries in economics, trade, investment, education and training, as well as their diplomatic and political ties at bilateral and multilateral forums. He hoped that Prof. Joseph Nye will contribute to boosting cooperation between Vietnam and the US and between Vietnam and Harvard University.

He informed his guest of the country’s economic development and said that Vietnam has always pursued its policy of developing the market economy and boosting economic integration along with ensuring social equality and welfare and environmental protection. It has also followed its consistent policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, friendship and cooperation with other countries.
Prof. Joseph Nye said the Vietnamese economy and others in the world are showing signs of growth. The US professor predicted that the Vietnamese economy would grow strongly in the future in the context of globalisation and integration.
