Following the introduction by corporate leaders, To Lam commended Beijing’s high-tech industries as a significant driver of economic growth. He acknowledged China’s dedication to advancing sci-tech innovation, which has resulted in remarkable achievements over the past 40 years of reform and opening up. Vietnam will also rely on sci-tech innovation as a key driver to accelerate its economic and social development. In addition, he highlighted the crucial role of talent in sci-tech innovation. In recent years, China has seen over 10 million college graduates annually, representing a large and high-quality talent pool.

The rapid development of high-tech industries has had a significant impact on economic growth. He said that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Beijing and Hanoi, and Beijing is committed to working with Vietnamese counterparts to implement the consensus  reached by the two leaders of the parties and states as well as the outcomes of their meetings. Beijing will further deepen sub-national cooperation and advance the friendship between the two cities, jointly contributing to the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future.
