In the coming time, the Ambassador suggested that UNIDO continue to strengthen policy consulting support, build and enhance capacity, connect partners to support finance and technology transfer to promote green transformation, digital transformation, circular economy, sharing economy, science and technology and innovation, contributing to creating breakthrough momentum for the era of Vietnam's rise to prosperity.
Ambassador Vu Le Thai Hoang expressed his hope that UNIDO would increase the recruitment of Vietnamese personnel to coordinate more closely in effectively implementing UNIDO projects for Vietnam.
General Director Gerd Müller congratulated and expressed his special impression of Vietnam's outstanding socio-economic development achievements in 40 years of Doi Moi, considering Vietnam a model of successful development and wishing to share Vietnam's model and experience with developing countries, especially in policy and legal reform, infrastructure investment and high-quality human resource development.
