Attending the 23rd Asian Future Conference in Tokyo, Japan, on June 5, 1977, entitled "Globalism at the crossroads - the next step in Asia". , Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc made an important speech. The Government Vessel Portal would like to introduce the speech of the Prime Minister.

In 1776, the British economist Adam Smith discovered the key to the prosperity of a nation that was "natural freedom", understood to be free to produce and to exchange goods on demand. Naturally, opening the domestic market as well as internationally to compete on the principle of freedom, justice. That is the cornerstone of globalization and in fact this process took place hundreds of years ago.
Today's event in Japan reminds me of the 16th century, Hoi An, a trading port located in Quang Nam province of Vietnam, has gradually formed into one of the busiest, in Asia. The Japanese are the first-generation international businessmen, making important contributions to Hoi An's participation in the cross-border trading system, which remains to this day. Many traces of an international integration port model are at the dawn of global trade.
Historical fact shows that, whether we support or not support globalization, it is still inevitable. For centuries, the journey back and forth, legendary stories on the historic Silk Road have helped us understand one important thing: Globalization is not only an economic process but also a counterintelligence. The outlooks of the outreach, the pursuit of happiness and conquest challenges of mankind.
Thousands of years ago, in Japan, in Vietnam, in India, China, South Korea, the Middle East, etc ... cultural and religious values, including some technical achievements. Production and goods have spread across borders. It can be said that Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, etc., originated in Asia, reaching out beyond space, time, race, politics and culture, These are the forces that promote globalization very early on.
Asia, the largest continent in terms of area and population, religious, cultural and ethnic diversity with a long history of thousands of years, is a key driver of globalization. . In 2010, Asia's GDP ranks 3rd in six continents, behind Europe and North America, and by 2016 Asia's GDP has risen to the top of continents. The rise of Asia is the rise of a set of nations that are geared towards deepening and deepening international integration, such as Singapore, the world's most dynamic, dynamic economy; South Korea - the "Han River wonder" of Asia and the 11th largest economy in the world, an important member of the OECD India, the second fastest growing economy in the world, is an important destination Israel, a country without water resources, has developed cultivation techniques, such as small irrigation technology. Drops, an achievement that has important implications for the development of agriculture in many countries that are responding to droughts and climate change.
And in particular, we can not fail to mention the growing role and influence of China, the world's second largest economy, with decades of spectacular growth, bringing hundreds of millions of people out. poor. Along with Japan, China has become one of the most talked about economic developments in Asia.
With more than 150 freer and regional trade agreements, accounting for 58% of the world's total, Asia is at the forefront of international integration. In particular, the international sea route flows the annual $ 5,000 billion cargo volume, connecting Asia with Europe and the rest of the world. Many Asian countries are now at the center of many major innovations with the number of patent applications, research publications and R & D investment has increased rapidly. Technological trends from robots to renewable energy are spreading across Asia.
However, the process of global integration is also putting Asia ahead of many challenges. Territorial disputes, along with the rise of extreme nationalism. Socio-economic inequality tends to increase between countries as well as in individual countries.
Economic and technological development is too fast while governance capacity at both the global and national levels has not been adapted. Advances in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, cloud computing ... require Asian countries not only to innovate but to create new business models.
Complex developments of religious extremism, terrorist threats, nuclear tests, missiles on the Korean Peninsula; The tensions in the East China Sea, the South China Sea are still imminent danger of security, safety of navigation and aviation of the international sea route.
Climate change, along with catastrophic disasters and natural disasters, severely damaged property and people. Concerns about homogeneity and a universal culture will dilute the uniqueness and values of Asian identity.
Along with other challenges such as cybercrime, transnational crime, the sustainability of financial markets, the trend of protectionism is on the rise in developed and developing countries. In the face of that challenge, what should Asia do? I would like to say three groups of measures as follows: Group one measures: maintaining a peaceful and stable environment in the context of Asia is changing structural. This group of measures includes efforts to: (1) build healthy bonds of mutual confidence, strengthen national trust in security, politics and economic development through Bilaterally, multilaterally, regional and intercontinental strategic links; (2) Focus on resolving regional differences and responsible behavior of nations on the basis of equality, mutual respect, observance of international law; (3) Promote cooperation in seeking long-term solutions to the growing traditional and non-traditional security challenges, such as climate change, sea level rise, environmental pollution, and water security. , Food security, natural disasters, migration crisis ... (4) actively find solutions to demographic changes, population aging, gender imbalance, labor shortage, Marketing ... (5) Increasing Asian soft power through the communication, preservation and promotion of diversity, uniqueness of cultural identity and "Asian values" that late Prime Minister Lee The magic of Singapore has been mentioned as the spirit of hard work, sense of saving, studiousness, friendship and family cohesion ... (6) At the same time we open the door Interact, absorb the essence, cultural values of other continents. To create healthy cohesion between economies, to promote multifaceted and multilateral connections between countries: The second group of measures: to solve the problem of development model, to promote green economy , Sustainable and inclusive: (1) connecting soft infrastructure to create a favorable legal and policy environment for economic, trade and investment activities; To open markets and facilitate the flow of goods, services and capital flows between Asian countries and between Asia and the outside world; (2) To efficiently connect hard infrastructure / traffic, especially to ensure safe and convenient transportation of people and goods; To create a safe and convenient environment for the application of information and telecommunications technologies to socio-economic life; (3) Connecting people: promoting cultural exchanges, exchanges of people, tourism development to enhance mutual understanding and build trust; (4) Connected to the natural environment: working together to address the challenges of climate change, environmental pollution, water resources security, disaster management; (5) Harmonization of current cultural values and historical values, between modern and traditional, between globalism and national identity, preserving cultural diversity. Coordination and promotion of the active role of international institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Bank (WB), the Monetary Fund The International Monetary Fund (IMF); The Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Asian Investment Bank (AIIB) ... through the World Trade Organization (WTO) to ensure that Asian regional trade initiatives are compatible With the process of global trade liberalization. Through the International Monetary Fund (IMF) helps Asia monitor, correct and stabilize the regional financial markets. To learn good governance practices and to make effective use of loans from the World Bank, Asia Development Bank, Asian Investment Bank ... The institutions, principles, principles The rules developed by these international institutions together with regional organizations such as ASEAN and APEC have made important contributions to the maintenance of peace, stability and promotion of the development of the world as a whole and in Asia. Asia in particular. Ladies and Gentlemen, We often hear about the "American Dream" or "Chinese Dream", but it seems in terms of communication, Burmese dreams, Lao dream, Cambodian dream or Vietnamese dream Nam still little known. Asia must be a place where we will be heard about the "dream" of every nation, of a big country as well as of a small, developed and underdeveloped country. All are treated on the principle of freedom, equality without discrimination of religion, belief, color, race or gender. All work together, contribute for peace and prosperity for every nation, every Asian person. With a population of nearly 100 million people, a GDP growth rate of over 6% has been maintained over the past 30 years, Vietnam is becoming an attractive market with increasing purchasing power with the middle class taking over. 10% of the population and is growing rapidly. Currently, there are 52 million internet users in Vietnam, ranking fifth in Asia-Pacific. Vietnam is also a highly mobile country with 55% of Vietnamese possessing smartphones.
This is also an important foundation to help Vietnam take a leapfrog, quickly grasp the scientific achievements of the 4th industrial revolution in the country's development strategy in the coming period.
In the current trend of globalization, Vietnam is determined to build up the government of creativity, integrity, wholeheartedly serving the people and enterprises with the following major orientations:
· Create opportunities for the country through increased international integration, participation in global governance structures. Vietnam has signed 12 FTAs, is negotiating four FTAs and is a responsible member of the United Nations, cooperative mechanisms such as ASEAN, APEC, ASEM, ADB, AIIB and forthcoming. Is a regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement (RCEP) ...
· Creating an enabling environment that promotes the driving force of the private economy and the ability to participate in global value chains based on productivity and creative capacity of the economy. The Government of Vietnam continues to perfect the legal system and policies related to investment in the direction of consistency, facilitation, openness, transparency and long-term prediction. We not only strive for the ASEAN-4 business environment, but are also moving towards the OECD's advanced standards.
· The constructive government that Vietnam is building means a balance between policies that stimulate economic growth and the management of resource scarcity and environmental sustainability and pay special attention to raising High quality human resources suited to the realities required by the industrial revolution 4.0.
Dear friends,
When it comes to the Asian miracle, we can not fail to mention "Japanese miracle". I would like to conclude my speech with a brief review of Japan's role in Asian development and Vietnam-Japan relationship:
As a country heavily affected by the war, in just two decades, Japan has become one of the world's leading economies, the only G7 nation in Asia. Not only is the region's leading investor with advanced science and technology, leading in many fields, Japan is also a mirror of culture of discipline, patience and sacrifice.
The spirit of solidarity, discipline and calm of Japan in the double disaster of 2011 has been genuinely portrayed in the image of the Japanese orderly queue, the image of a 9 year old boy giving up his food for the others. Rescuers are not afraid of dangerous, persistent search for victims after the disaster. These simple, ordinary images that have made the world to respect the will, culture and spirit of the Japanese.
Thus, Japan is not the only flying bird in the "flying saucer" model of economic development in Asia in the mid-twentieth century, but continues to be a representative of human values. Beautiful. Economic cooperation, trade investment, official development assistance (ODA) resources of Japan, initiatives on "building high quality infrastructure"; "Mekong-Japan connectivity" will continue to strongly promote economic linkages, greatly contributing to the socio-economic development and poverty reduction of many countries, including Viet Nam. Male.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In 1905, the admiration of the success of the Meiji Restoration, the country's patriotic Phan Boi Chau, initiated the Dong Du movement, bringing hundreds of Vietnamese youths to Japan to study the achievements of education. And reform of Japan. After more than four decades, the Vietnam-Japan relations have been constantly strengthened and become "deep strategic partners" in March 2014.
- Economic: Japan is the largest recipient of ODA for Vietnam, the second largest foreign investor, the third largest travel partner and the fourth largest trading partner in Vietnam. . By the end of 2016, Japan has more than 3,200 valid investment projects in Vietnam with total registered capital of over US $ 42 billion, accounting for 15% of total FDI inflows into Vietnam.
- Politically, the two countries have built a stable and reliable relationship through dialogue, meetings and high-level visits between the two countries. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's official visit to Vietnam Mid-January 2017; State visit of the Emperor and Empress of Japan in March 2017; Visit of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Vietnam in April 2017; And today is my official visit to Japan and the delegation of the Government of Vietnam.
- About education: Japan and Vietnam have signed nine cooperative agreements between universities and cooperative education programs on education. Especially, Vietnam-Japan University is gradually becoming a symbol of educational cooperation between the two countries. In 2016, Vietnam will pilot the Japanese language teaching program for third graders at 5 elementary schools, and conduct exchange programs in Japan for students to experience the culture Symbol of Japan. The number of Vietnamese students and trainees to Japan has increased sharply, reaching over 150,000.
- Art and culture: Many activities such as Cultural Tourism Festival - Vietnam; Japanese Festival, Japan-Vietnam cultural exchange ... to strengthen and strengthen the spirit of solidarity and friendship between the two countries.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
