With the above targets, the Prime Minister delivered an important speech, centering on the forum’s theme: “Opportunities and Challenges in Shaping the Region’s Future through Connectivity”. He had meetings as well with leaders of other countries and international organizations, including Thailand’s Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and the WEF President Klaus Schwab.

The Prime Minister shared opinions and put forward important proposals on regional cooperation and affirmed the importance of regional cooperation that served as a factor to promote economic-social development in East Asian countries, making a contribution to creating the dynamism in the region.
He said that countries should ensure the “synchronism” in regional cooperation, from participating in cooperation to creating harmony in policies, laws and procedures of economic connectivity projects; and countries should further promote connectivity cooperation frameworks, including ASEAN+1, ASEAN+3, the East Asia Summit, with ASEAN playing the central role.
The Prime Minister affirmed the importance of strengthening sub-regional connectivity, particularly the Mekong sub-region and stressed that it should promote “the adaptability of cooperation and connectivity in East Asia through cooperation among countries to prevent the risk of economic, financial and monetary crisis, promoting trade, fighting against trade protectionism, and effectively cope with increasing challenges, such as climate change, natural disasters, water resource security, energy and food security.
Prime Minister Dung emphasized that the region should ensure an environment of peace, sustainability and development, including peace, stability, security and safety and marine freedom on the East Sea; solving disputes through peaceful measures and respecting international laws and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and fully implementing the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and the Code of Conduct (COC).
