On the basis of the comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and the US, cooperation between the two countries in economy, trade, finance and currency has made positive progress, PM Chinh said at a meeting with Secretary Yellen while in the US attending the US-ASEAN summit at the invitation of US President Joe Biden.
He emphasized that Vietnam wishes to build an independent and self-reliant economy with sustainable development and deep integration, adding that stabilization of the macro-economy plays a very important role.
PM Chinh thanked the US for cooperation and support in managing and stabilizing the foreign exchange market, contributing to Vietnam’s macro stability.
He also mentioned the complex impacts on economies stemming from global instabilities such as strategic competition, pandemic, climate change, conflict and economic development, and armed conflicts.
In response to these issues, he noted, it is necessary to uphold internationalism and multilateralism with a balanced and just approach.
PM Chinh added that each country needs to build an independent and self-reliant economy derived from its own internal resources and strengths.
