Upon receiving the official invitation to attend the summit from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son, Leoncini conveyed his support for Vietnam’s efforts and wished the nation success in hosting the event, as well as in advancing its green and sustainable development goals.

My highlighted Vietnam’s active and responsible participation in P4G since its inception, working closely with international partners to drive the forum’s agenda. As the world’s only public-private green growth platform, P4G aims to turn sustainability goals into action through green transition and climate initiatives, he added.

Vietnam is also among the world's first three developing nations to join the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), committing to ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and expanding renewable energy to phase out coal power.

Set to take place in Hanoi on April 16-17, the P4G Summit will be accompanied by a series of high-level bilateral meetings with global leaders and representatives of international organizations.

P4G is recognized as a premier global platform for fostering public-private partnerships, bringing together leaders of governments, businesses, and civil society organizations to develop breakthrough solutions for green growth. The initiative primarily supports partner countries through public-private collaboration, providing financial and technical assistance to small and micro-enterprises engaged in climate action.
