HANOI, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam on Wednesday urged UN and other international organizations to mobilize financial and technical resources to assist the country in building inclusive finance.
Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang made the request during a meeting in Hanoi with Queen of the Netherlands Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti, who also serves as UN Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development.
Vietnam has reaped a wide range of achievements in socio-economic development and poverty reduction, thanks to the implementation of policies and activities related to inclusive finance such as microfinance development, credit for agriculture and rural areas, and social security, the president said at a reception held for the queen, who is on a working visit to Hanoi.
Queen Máxima said inclusive finance will be a tool to effectively mobilize resources, which is expected to contribute to Vietnam's socio-economic development and sustainable growth and help people get easier access to official financing and banking services.
The queen also affirmed that the Netherlands is willing to share experiences and cooperate with Vietnam in the field of inclusive finance.
