Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Kristalina Georgieva has expressed her hope that Vietnam will collaborate with the IMF to share its economic development experience with other nations, particularly in Africa. Her remarks came during a meeting with Vietnamese Party General Secretary and State President To Lam in New York on Tuesday.

Georgieva praised Vietnam’s strong institutions and inclusive macroeconomic policies, which have helped the nation weather global economic shocks. She pledged continued support for Vietnam’s reforms and its journey toward becoming a high-income country by 2045.

President Lam highlighted Vietnam’s rise from an underdeveloped economy to one of the world’s 40 largest, and called for ongoing IMF support in areas such as economic restructuring, digital transformation, and poverty alleviation.
