The Vietnam Economic Forum 2021 is scheduled to take place at the International Convention Centre on December 5, the National Assembly’s Office announced at a press conference on December 2.

The event will be co-organised by the NA’s Committee for Economic Affairs, the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission and the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences.

According to Nguyen Minh Son, deputy head of the NA’s Committee for Economic Affairs, the forum will review Vietnam’s economic development in 2020-2021, and policies adopted to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Specifically, it will give insight into the trend of economic restructuring and changes in production and business models due to pandemic impacts, along with policies that have been rolled out in the world to tackle COVID-19, thus withdrawing lessons for Vietnam in this regard.

Delegates are expected to propose solutions, focusing on both short and long-term economic policies, he said, stressing that apart from economic matters, the forum will touch upon social and environmental issues.

The forum is set to contribute to institutionalising the Resolution issued at the 13th National Party Congress, the 2021-2030 socio-economic development strategy, and other resolutions of the legislature.

On this occasion, the organisers launched the official website of the forum, at diendankinhte.quochoi.vn, in Vietnamese and English languages./.
