 Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính attended the opening plenary of the World Economic Forum (WEF)’s 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, held on Wednesday in Tianjin, China.

The Vietnamese leader was joined by five other heads of state and government at the plenary, including Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Singaporean PM Lawrence Wong, Senegalese PM Ousmane Sonko, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, and Kyrgyz PM Adylbek Kasymaliev.

Hosting the event, Chinese Premier Li underscored its significance in promoting multilateralism, global trade and investment, and the spirit of entrepreneurship amid fundamental shifts in the global economic landscape.

Under the theme “Entrepreneurship for a New Era,” the annual meeting brings together more than 1,700 delegates, including high-ranking leaders, officials from ministries and agencies, representatives of international organisations, experts, scholars, and business leaders from nearly 100 countries.

During the conference, PM Chính is scheduled to speak at several key panel discussions.

On Wednesday, he served as a special guest at a policy dialogue themed “Việt Nam’s New Era: From Vision to Action.”

This marks the third consecutive time the Vietnamese Government leader has been invited to attend the WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions.

Taking place from June 24 to 26, the event features over 120 sessions focused on dialogue and collaboration.

Discussions will centre around five core themes of deciphering the global economy; China’s outlook; industrial transformation; investing in people and the planet; and new energy and materials.
