World Economic Forum on East Asia: Rethinking Asia’s Leadership Agenda

Ms. Dang Thi Hoang Yen, Chairwoman of Tan Tao Group

The holding of the 2010 World Economic Forum on East Asia in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, was enormously significant for two key reasons. First, this was the first time in the nearly 20 years since this meeting was initially convened that it was taking place in one of Asia’s newly developing economies. Second, Vietnam is this year’s ASEAN chair and, in this role, will participate in crucial G20 summits in Canada and South Korea.
