Vietnam presses ahead with commitment to sustainable development
This is evident through its strong commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 made at the COP26 conference and decision to join the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). Each country needs to fully consider the rights of all its people and ensure that no one is left behind. Big emitters of greenhouse gases in the past have the responsibility to fulfill their historical obligations and support developing countries in terms of finance, technology and capacity enhancement in energy transition. At the same time, developing countries need to have appropriate transition roadmaps that take into account their specific conditions and circumstances.According to him, France highly appreciates Vietnam's commitments and policies in the climate and environmental fields, the country's role as a partner in climate diplomacy, and its support for climate and environmental development. The French Development Agency (AFD) is also at the forefront of implementing France’s climate policies in Vietnam, providing significant funding for related projects./.

However, one bottleneck that foreign depository banks hope for a radical solution is the requirement of pre-transaction margin and securities blockade. She wishes to act as a bridge between the securities regulator and investment institutions, providing securities services so that they can frankly discuss and recommend solutions to help the Vietnamese stock market be upgraded.

Retail businesses improve quality to gain competitive advantage
The higher competitive pressure gives domestic enterprises more experience and motivation to improve their business capacity, product quality, service quality, and ability to capture the market. Domestic retail businesses needed to innovate, build sustainable brands, and strictly comply with regulations in production and business, retail market expert Vũ Vinh Phú said. To create favourable conditions for retail businesses, experts said that besides attracting foreign investment, it is also important to build Vietnamese retail channels by Vietnamese people.
