On the morning of August 14 in Hanoi, Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade and ADB signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on cooperation in the energy and power sector.&nbsp;Attending the ceremony were Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hoang Long, ADB Country Director for Vietnam Shantanu Chakraborty, Director General of the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Vietnam Pham Nguyen Hung, along with leaders of functional units and representatives of international partners.&nbsp;This marks an important starting point for a new phase of cooperation between Vietnam and ADB, toward concrete goals in developing green, clean, and sustainable energy.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/08/14/z69052657124479d8c133cc5a5f8322be4bf7981e87d28-10154800-17423085.jpg" alt="Leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) pose for a commemorative photo with delegates attending the signing ceremony"></figure>Leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) pose for a commemorative photo with delegates attending the signing ceremonyFostering strategic cooperation and turning commitments into realitySpeaking at the event, Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Long affirmed that energy plays a pivotal role in the national development strategy. The Party, National Assembly, and Government of Vietnam have clearly set the goal of building a strong, prosperous, and enduring nation in the new era of development. In that journey, energy, particularly electricity, remains a key driver of industrialization, modernization, and socio-economic growth.On July 10, 2024, the two sides engaged in open and candid discussions on potential cooperation directions in energy and power. After a period of close coordination, the signing of today’s MOU is the concrete step to realize the ideas agreed upon earlier.According to the Deputy Minister, MoIT has been proactively advising on and developing legal and policy frameworks to foster the growth of the national energy sector, aiming to firmly ensure energy security while achieving a successful just energy transition.&nbsp;These efforts include amending the Law on Electricity, the Law on Efficient and Economical Energy Use; issuing and implementing the revised National Power Development Plan (PDP8), along with other relevant legal documents.In addition, MOIT has always valued strengthening cooperation with international partners in scientific research, power technology development, technology transfer, and mobilization of financial resources. ADB has been a key partner, accompanying Vietnam in rural electrification programs, grid development, and investments in renewable energy, clean energy, and sustainable development projects."Within this cooperation framework, MOIT expects to continue receiving effective technical support from ADB in the near future, focusing on areas such as fuel conversion at thermal power plants; cross-border grid interconnection and electricity trade; development of battery energy storage systems (BESS), along with other initiatives to help Vietnam successfully achieve its energy transition and meet its 2050 carbon neutrality target, as committed at COP26 and in the Political Declaration on the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP)”, Deputy Minister Long emphasized.The Deputy Minister also expressed confidence that with ADB’s support, the cooperation will deliver practical results and valuable research products, effectively applied in practice, contributing to the building of a green, clean, and sustainable energy sector for Vietnam.Three cooperation priorities and ADB’s support commitmentsSpeaking at the signing ceremony, Director General of the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Vietnam Pham Nguyen Hung said that since the two sides agreed to discuss building a cooperation program in July 2024, chaired by Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Long, the Electricity Regulatory Authority and ADB’s representatives in Vietnam have worked tirelessly, holding numerous consultations, drafting, and thoroughly reviewing legal procedures to officially sign the MOU on energy and power cooperation.“This MOU is not only a cooperation framework but also a symbol of the trust and shared aspiration of both sides to jointly shape a green, clean, and sustainable energy future”, Pham Nguyen Hung said.According to Pham Nguyen Hung, the MOU focuses on three main priorities for the next five years. The first is to study and propose a roadmap for applying co-firing biomass, green ammonia, and green hydrogen technologies at coal-fired and gas-fired power plants, contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing sustainability.&nbsp;The second is to develop regional grid interconnections, establish cross-border power transmission lines, promote cross-border electricity trade, and support the development of a strong and flexible power grid. The third is to expand the scale and improve the legal framework for battery energy storage systems (BESS), enhancing grid stability and adaptability as the share of renewable energy increases.Pham Nguyen Hung stressed that the cooperation will go beyond research and technical assistance to include knowledge sharing, capacity building, and raising public awareness of energy transition. These steps align with PDP8 and contribute to Vietnam’s international commitments, including the 2050 carbon neutrality target.On ADB’s side, Country Director Shantanu Chakraborty affirmed that Vietnam is an important partner in the bank’s energy support strategy. Since 1994, ADB has provided more than USD 2.6 billion in sovereign loans, USD 1.4 billion in non-sovereign loans, USD 35 million in technical assistance, and USD 3 million in grants. In 2021, under the JETP framework, ADB further committed USD 2.1 billion to support Vietnam.<blockquote>According to Chakraborty, the MOU paves the way for a technical assistance program worth up to USD 1.4 million, including feasibility studies on fuel conversion, enhancing ASEAN grid connectivity, and developing energy storage systems. ADB will also roll out a knowledge-sharing platform, workforce training, and explore innovative financial solutions to mobilize resources from the government, state-owned enterprises, and the private sector. “This is not just a symbolic gesture but a concrete action plan to help Vietnam achieve its sustainable energy goals”, Chakraborty emphasized.</blockquote>Le An

Powered by proprietary Vietnamese technology, these UAVs have earned high praise from international partners, including South Korea. The company's self-sufficiency in designing semiconductor chips for UAVs provides a competitive edge, demonstrating Viet Nam's readiness to compete in advanced technology sectors while boosting both its economy and global reputation.Viet Nam's UAV capabilities signal its entry into an era of spatial automation, where flying robots can enhance productivity across economic, social, and defense spheres. Countries with more advanced UAV specializations are set to gain strategic advantages in multiple domains.Alongside the UAV order, CT Group also signed an agreement to export 100 million semiconductor chips to a South Korean partner. Entering the semiconductor sector—long dominated by a few developed nations—highlights Viet Nam's ambition and capacity to succeed in complex, high-tech industries.Earlier, Viet Nam started with small-scale drone assembly and agricultural spraying models in the 2010s. By the early 2020s, companies began developing proprietary designs and shifting focus to cargo, surveillance, mapping, and defense drones. 2025 marks a turning point with CT Group’s 5,000-UAV export order to South Korea, signaling Viet Nam’s ability to mass-produce and export heavy-duty UAVs.The 2024 Law on Science, Technology and Innovation outlines a range of incentives to promote workforce development in these high-tech industries. The legal framework reflects the Party’s strategic priorities on innovation and national competitiveness. It is expected to accelerate the implementation of Viet Nam’s Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2050, and the Human Resource Development Programme for the Semiconductor Industry to 2030, approved in September 2024.&nbsp;Viet Nam also set a target to train at least 50,000 high-quality workers for the semiconductor and AI industries by 2030. This includes 42,000 engineers, 7,500 master's degree holders, 500 doctoral researchers and 5,000 AI specialists.Other Vietnamese tech firms are also advancing in UAV and semiconductor production. Viettel is developing dual-use drones for a "low-altitude economic ecosystem" integrating both unmanned and manned aerial vehicles for civilian and defense applications. FPT Semiconductor has secured international orders for 70 million chips, mainly PMICs and IoT chips for medical devices and electronics. Designed in Viet Nam, these chips are manufactured in South Korea and packaged in Taiwan./.

A Vietnamese company has secured its first-ever export order for 5,000 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to South Korea, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s UAV industry.

Its Terminal T2, which serves international routes, welcomed more than 7 million passengers compared to its annual design capacity of 10 million."This results in an exceptionally high frequency of operations and significant pressure on services," said a representative of the airport.Despite the mounting operational challenges, Noi Bai International Airport maintained an on-time performance (OTP) rate of 74 percent between June 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025. Of the total flight delays recorded, 93.8 percent were attributed to airline operational issues, followed by weather (1.8 percent), airport-related equipment and services (0.8 percent), air traffic management (2.5 percent), and other causes (1.1 percent).Recognizing the need to improve punctuality, the airport management authority is working closely with airlines and ground service providers to roll out a series of measures aimed at enhancing OTP.Since February 1, 2024, the airport has implemented Phase 1 of the Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) model. In the first six months of 2025, the system supported the management of 100,002 flights, optimizing runway and apron use, reducing ground waiting time, and improving flight punctuality.The airport is also coordinating with the Air Traffic Flow Management Centre (ATFMC), airlines, and ground units to apply Level 3 Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) procedures—improving scheduling efficiency and mitigating delays caused by weather, military operations, and national events.To address overcapacity, authorities are accelerating the expansion of Terminal T2 through a phased construction plan that allows the terminal to remain operational. The expansion, slated for completion by late 2025, is expected to ease overcrowding, improve passenger comfort, and enhance service quality.Other ongoing initiatives include a comprehensive review of all commercial service providers to ensure service quality, transparent pricing, and professional staff conduct. The airport is also investing in passenger-friendly technologies such as biometric check-in via the VNeID platform, expanded self-service kiosks, and the ACV iCute online check-in system.In 2025, Skytrax ranked Noi Bai International Airport among the world's Top 100 best airports, placing it at number 79—up 17 spots from the previous year.The airport reiterated its commitment to working closely with all aviation stakeholders to further improve operational efficiency and passenger experience./.

This year's theme, "Human Trafficking is Organized Crime – End the Exploitation," underscores the need to dismantle trafficking networks through coordinated law enforcement and justice sector responses while ensuring that survivors are fully protected.As Viet Nam prepares to host the signing of the Ha Noi Convention, the first-ever global treaty dedicated to addressing cybercrime, it marks a pivotal moment in international cooperation against cyber-enabled crimes, including human trafficking, said Pauline Tamesis, United Nations Resident Coordinator."Together, we must strengthen our commitments to protecting trafficking victims, especially vulnerable communities and children and to dismantling organized exploitation in the digital age", she emphasized.IOM Officer-in-Charge in Viet Nam Mitsue Pembroke praised the country's leadership in promoting safe migration and preventing human trafficking, particularly through the revision of the Law on Human Trafficking Prevention and Combat in 2024.This is a remarkable milestone for Viet Nam and reflects its strong commitment to tackling this crime. The revised law lays a stronger foundation for addressing increasingly complex trafficking trends, which are exacerbated by socio-economic challenges, she stated.In recent years, trafficking in persons has grown increasingly complex across the Asia–Pacific region. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Southeast Asia has witnessed a sharp rise in scam compounds operated by transnational criminal syndicates engaged in sophisticated online fraud.According to IOM's Regional Situation Report on Trafficking in Persons into Forced Criminality in Online Scamming Centers in Southeast Asia, the number of trafficking victims forced into criminal activities who received IOM's support tripled, from 296 in 2022 to 978 in 2023./.

The lychees undergo irradiation treatment in Viet Nam before being shipped by sea to the U.S., preserving freshness and quality upon arrival.Dragonberry representatives said that the entry of Vietnamese lychees into top retail chains like Safeway and Costco is a significant commercial milestone and a testament to the rising demand for high-quality Vietnamese agricultural products in the U.S. market. American consumers are increasingly drawn to the unique flavor of Vietnamese lychees, and the company remains committed to quality and sustainable branding.The presence of Vietnamese lychees in major U.S. retailers not only strengthens the fruit's export value but also boost Viet Nam's position in the global agricultural market. It showcases the effective collaboration between producers, exporters, and trade authorities.Viet Nam is now the second‑largest global lychee producer, with an estimated harvest of 303,000 tons in 2025, up nearly 30 percent compared to 2024.Vietnamese lychees are currently exported to over 30 countries, including China, the U.S., Japan, EU, Australia, Canada, Thailand, the UAE, and Singapore.In 2025, first batches of Thanh Ha variety supported exports to Japan and Australia, with expansion plans into Canada, the EU, and Middle East markets./.

Vietnamese lychees are available at Costco, the largest retail chain in the U.S. with 635 stores across the U.S. and Canada.

These providers are ramping up infrastructure development and expanding their subscriber base, with plans to scale up 5G services across the country.Despite these efforts, 5G adoption in Viet Nam remains limited. Deployment is still concentrated in major urban areas, while most users and businesses continue to rely on the well-established 4G network, which currently covers 99.8 percent of the population.The Ministry of Science and Technology plans to accelerate the rollout of commercial 5G services this year. It has set a target of reaching 99 percent population coverage by the end of 2025, with a minimum data speed of 100 Mbps.To support this goal, the government has introduced financial incentives through the National Assembly's Resolution 193. Under the policy, telecom operators that successfully install and activate at least 20,000 5G stations by the end of the year will receive a subsidy covering 15 percent of equipment costs.Viet Nam's 5G deployment officially began with lab and pilot tests in 2019, moving to commercial trials in 2020, and launched official services in October 2024, followed by rapid expansion through early 2025./.

Up to 26 percent of Viet Nam’s population can access to 5G services, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology. The current network of 5G base stations accounts for approximately 7.7 percent of the total number of 4G stations.

Therefore, the formation of trade partnerships, access to innovative technology, improvement of connectivity and attraction of investment in infrastructure are among BRICS' vital topics.The role of BRICS has been increasingly relevant given the unstable scenario of international relations, marked by the escalation of conflicts and economic fluctuations, associated with the resurgence of protectionist trends that hinder the normal flow of trade and the prosperity of nations.Some numbers clearly demonstrate the potential of BRICS, which currently represents 40 percent of the global economy, 23 percent of global GDP, 18 percent of international trade, 42 percent of the world's population, 30 percent of the planet's territory, 3.2 billion people, 36 percent of global GDP by purchasing power parity, and 72 percent of the global rare earth reserves.According to recent data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), while industrialized countries are witnessing a slowdown in the growth of their economies (2.7 percent in 2022 to 1.4 percent in 2023), developing countries in the so-called Global South have seen economic growth of around 4 percent this year. The emerging markets of BRICS are increasingly likely to consolidate the highest growth rates in the world.Viet Nam's objectives are in tune with BRICS actions and positive practices, in addition to naturally strengthening multilateral cooperation, he noted.During the summit, in addition of promoting connectivity and strengthening supply chains, Viet Nam will be able to cooperate with other members in the environmental field and partnerships for the energy transition, as well as in initiatives that promote access to innovative technologies.At the political and diplomatic level, like Brazil, Viet Nam has demonstrated its commitment to promote global peace and stability and to support more representative global governance on the international stage.Farani held that in an official statement, it was with great satisfaction that the Brazilian government welcomed the Vietnamese government's decision to join BRICS as a partner country.Viet Nam's entry will contribute to further increasing the potential, amplify the group's importance on the international stage and its centrality in the international trade value chain, in addition to reinforcing the relevance of multilateralism, noted the diplomat.Viet Nam is a stable country, with a dynamic and efficient economy and clear growth objectives. The Southeast Asian nation's admission to BRICS is very welcome and it is expected to work actively together to achieve the goals of progress in the fields of trade, investment, energy transition, environmental and social sustainability, connectivity and equal opportunities in access to innovation, underlined the Ambassador.Maturity of Viet Nam-Brazil relationsFarani said that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will make his third visit to Brazil, reflecting the special significance of friendship and degree of trust between the two countries.Pham visited Brazil in 2023, for the first time, opening up a new milestone in the bilateral ties following his summit meeting with President Lula da Silva.Last year, Prime Minister Pham participated on the G20 meeting that took place in Rio de Janeiro. Pham and Lula announced the upgrade of the bilateral ties to a Strategic Partnership."Now, the Prime Minister will be back to our country for the third time, to participate in the BRICS Summit, as a partner country. I am quite sure that he will bring a great contribution during the summit agenda discussions. With his contemporary vision and international experience, he will contribute with constructive views about crucial issues affecting the developing countries such as energy transition, economic and financial cooperation and equal access to innovation", shared the diplomat.Viet Nam and Brazil have cultivated a positive and balanced political and economic dialogue throughout the 36 years of diplomatic relations. "However, I must acknowledge that in recent years, bilateral relations have gained tremendous momentum with the increase in high-level visits and the interest of both countries in discovering opportunities and diversifying the niches of cooperation", the diplomat emphasized.As an outcome of this growing interest, bilateral trade has reached a new record of US$8 billion. Dialogue in science, technology and innovation has been strengthened, a plan of action in the field of defense has been signed, and closer contacts in the area of agribusiness have been established. Initiatives in the field of energy transition represent another important area of cooperation. The growing bilateral partnership is a clear evidence of the maturity of the Viet Nam-Brazil relations.This year was particularly promising for bilateral relations, marked by the state visit to Viet Nam by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in March this year, followed by a large business delegation and high-ranking officials from the Brazilian parliament and government.&nbsp;Great potential in areas of cooperation between Viet Nam, BrazilViet Nam and Brazil share similarities and complementarities - the factors that contribute to build up a stronger partnership and to increase bilateral trade. With the mastery of artificial intelligence processes, the green economy and the accelerated use of high technologies, it is becoming increasingly important to incorporate innovation into the agenda of economic and trade cooperation."I believe that Brazil and Viet Nam have good prospect for cooperation in the area of energy transition, a sector in which Brazil has an outstanding experience and has been a global example in the field of renewable energy and the diffusion of its ethanol program", asserted Farani.Cooperation in the agribusiness sector has also reached a new level. The recent announcement of the decision by JBS, one of Brazil's largest business groups in the agro-export sector, to invest in two meat processing plants in Viet Nam, for an initial value of US$100 million, will enable Viet Nam to emerge as a distribution center for this sector in Southeast Asia.There is also great potential for bilateral cooperation in the areas of cybersecurity, semiconductor, digitalization, green agriculture, biofuels and new planting technologies, including forest recovery."I have no doubts about the fruitful results in the years to come of the present fruitful dialogue between the two governments and about the solid cooperation in both bilateral and multilateral aspects", said the diplomat./.

As an example of dynamism, growth and stability, Viet Nam is expected to have much to contribute to the upcoming 17th BRICS Summit, thus amplifying the group's appealing on the international stage.

He will reaffirm Viet Nam's commitment to sustainable growth and showcase the nation's strategic vision, investment potential, and dynamism as a rising market economy.He will also emphasize the Government's efforts to enhance the business environment through institutional, infrastructure, financial, and human resource reforms. Priority investment sectors will include artificial intelligence, automation, biotechnology, clean energy, infrastructure, and financial services.Viet Nam's participation at the forum affirms its active role and sense of responsibility in promoting peace, stability, development, and prosperity in the region and beyond. The country seeks to contribute to global discussions on pressing economic and development issues, gain insights into emerging trends, and share its own strategic outlook—especially in the context of implementing four major Party resolutions that mark a pivotal stage in national transformation and development.Through engagements with global and regional stakeholders, Viet Nam will further promote its image, policy orientations, and development goals. These interactions are expected to open up new avenues for cooperation, particularly in trade persification and foreign investment, as Viet Nam adapts to a rapidly evolving global economic landscape.The Prime Minister's working visit to China also holds significant importance. It is the first official visit to China by a high-ranking Vietnamese leader in 2025, following the successful state visit to Viet Nam by General Secretary and President Xi Jinping in April. The visit also coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the launch of the Year of Viet Nam–China Humanistic Exchange.Amid an increasingly complex and unpredictable global political and economic landscape, this year's WEF Tianjin Meeting is a major international event. It will gather leaders from various countries, more than 100 ministerial-level officials, and over 1,700 participants from businesses, international organizations, and academia.Under the theme "Entrepreneurship for a New Era," discussions will center on critical topics such as global economic trends, China's economic outlook, industrial transformation, smart manufacturing, investment in people and the planet, and the shift toward new energy sources and materials./.
