Regarding climate change, he emphasised that this matter requires a global approach, and all related policies must target people and businesses, and they themselves must actively participate in the implementation of these policies.

As the trade relationship between the EU and ASEAN is developing comprehensively in terms of scale, scope and nature, member countries must further improve the legal corridor and create the best foundation and conditions for businesses to continue increasing their capacity, creativeness and responsibility, and promoting the achieved results.

According to the PM, enterprises should focus on such fields as digital, green and circular economy; climate change response; food and energy security; and cybersecurity, with priority given to the development of wind and solar power.

Firms must participate in ensuring social security, pay attention to vulnerable groups to leave no one behind, and promote business culture and ethics.
