Vietnamese State President Nguyen Xuan Phuc proposed countries ramp up cooperation to address global challenges, including COVID-19 and climate change, in his video speech at the 2021 Boao Forum for Asia in China’s Hainan province on April 20.

Solidarity, cooperation in dealing with challenges

The world is facing unprecedented challenges which cannot be solved by a single country, Phuc said, noting that only cooperation and solidary could bring about success.

He called on countries to take joint actions for inclusive, sustainable and safe development for all.

Due attention should be paid to certain issues, including promoting cooperation in disease control and prevention, improving the capacity of the public health system and ensuring the accessibility to vaccines at reasonable costs for countries.

Countries should also maintain macroeconomic stability, facilitate trade and investment, settle international trade barriers, secure supply chains, boost production, create jobs and improve the resilience of the economy against possible similar shocks in the future, he said.

It is necessary to mobilise necessary resources for sustainable and inclusive economic development, towards materialising the UN sustainable development goals set for 2030, especially those on climate change response, clean energy, sustainable management of natural resources, and education, the leader continued.

The President praised achievements the Boao Forum for Asia has recorded over the past two decades, expressing his hope that the forum continues to serve as a communications channel for politicians, scholars, and businesses regarding key regional matters.
