At the second meeting of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam, General Secretary To Lam clearly stated four principles to realise the goal of double-digit growth: Substantive growth; maintaining macroeconomic stability; efficient use of resources; and ensuring that all development achievements are directed towards the people and linked to social justice.

Standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh has voiced Viet Nam’s interest in deepening ties with Switzerland to develop its planned international financial centre (IFC), with a focus on institutional frameworks, operational know-how and quality workforce training.
