Vietnam's development journeyAt the mid-fiscal year 2025 press conference of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Vietnam Office held on October 8 in Hanoi, Japanese representatives outlined a new cooperation direction focusing on human resource development, innovation, and institutional reform support.In the context of Vietnam’s goal to become a high-income country by 2045, international cooperation is evolving from “material support” to “strategic partnership,” emphasizing digital transformation, institutional reform, and private sector development. The Vietnam-Japan relationship remains a vital pillar, contributing to the formation of a knowledge-based, innovative, and modern governance ecosystem.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/10/08/z709558380305432be33bcad1a116f2c0c5f1e03401cc9-19531984.jpg" alt="Mid-term press conference for the 2025 term of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Vietnam Office"></figure>Mid-term press conference for the 2025 term of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Vietnam OfficeThis marks not only a change in approach but also a shift in development mindset from receiving financial assistance to acquiring knowledge and management expertise.Speaking at the event, Mr. Kobayashi Yosuke, Chief Representative of JICA Vietnam, highlighted: “The long-standing trust and friendship between our two nations form the foundation for every development partnership, not just in financial cooperation, but in knowledge and human exchange.”<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/10/08/z70955837411266de2bd50571e17ee835cf0fedfbe5f88-19535633.jpg" alt="Mr. Kobayashi Yosuke, Chief Representative of JICA Vietnam Office"></figure>Mr. Kobayashi Yosuke, Chief Representative of JICA Vietnam OfficeKnowledge and human capital: the new engine of cooperationIn 2025, several major projects will be implemented across infrastructure, technology, and human resource development. Among them, the Yen Xa Wastewater Treatment Plant, one of the largest in Southeast Asia and the first SABO dam in Son La to prevent landslides and protect northern communities, stand out. These projects demonstrate a new development cooperation approach that integrates technical solutions with sustainability goals for local communities.Parallel to infrastructure, human resource training in high technology is becoming central. Programs such as the Semiconductor Engineering Program at the Vietnam-Japan University and the “Global Consumer Intelligence” AI course at Hanoi University of Science and Technology have attracted thousands of students, reflecting Vietnam’s urgent demand for high-quality human capital amid digital transformation.Collaboration has also expanded into healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship. Initiatives include geriatric nursing training at Bach Mai Hospital, Japanese-style early childhood education programs, and “Keieijuku” management courses that have helped over 1,000 Vietnamese business leaders enhance leadership and operational skills.These efforts signal a clear transformation in bilateral cooperation from building infrastructure to investing in people. Knowledge, skills, and innovation have become the foundation for long-term sustainable growth.From a development perspective, this shift aligns perfectly with the needs of a deeply integrated global economy. Growth can no longer rely solely on capital and infrastructure; it must be rooted in human capacity. On Vietnam’s journey toward becoming a high-income nation, knowledge is emerging as its most valuable asset.Digital transformation and private sector growthBuilding on human capital and knowledge partnerships, Vietnam is advancing toward its next strategic phase: institutional reform, digital transformation, and private sector empowerment. While past cooperation focused on large-scale infrastructure, today’s emphasis lies in developing internal capacity, the true driver of productivity and competitiveness.Experts note that fostering skilled human resources and transparent institutions not only boosts labor productivity but also enables Vietnamese enterprises to integrate more deeply into global value chains. “As cooperation programs pivot toward training, innovation, and entrepreneurship, Vietnam will gain greater autonomy to drive its own growth,” they observed.At the same time, financial cooperation is becoming more inclusive and sustainable, notably through support packages for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and women-led businesses, a progressive step linking economic growth with social equity.Administrative reforms, such as restructuring the two-tier local government model, are also expected to enhance efficiency and transparency, paving the way for smoother project implementation and disbursement of development loans in the long term.<blockquote>According to development experts, Vietnam’s new approach represents a shift from “building structures” to “building capacity.” Knowledge, governance, and human capital are now the most enduring forms of investment. Rather than relying on aid, Vietnam is shaping a partnership model based on shared learning, mutual respect, and joint progress toward a sustainable future.</blockquote>Kim Bui

Vietnam-Japan cooperation is shifting from infrastructure projects to knowledge investment, institutional reform, and human capital development.

Industrial structure shifts toward international standardsAccording to the latest report from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, accelerated public investment has boosted the output of construction materials, electromechanical equipment, logistics, and construction support services. However, manufacturing industries that rely on imported raw materials face potential challenges in securing stable supplies, maintaining production plans, and ensuring timely deliveries through the end of the year. Selling prices of several products have fallen while input costs continue to rise, creating caution within the industrial business community.Notably, the Industrial Production Index (IIP) in August rose 2.2% from July and 8.9% year-on-year. Overall, in the first eight months, the IIP increased 8.5%, on par with the same period in 2024. This recovery was not confined to a few industries but spread across multiple key sectors.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/25/img4124-16035881.png" alt="Manufacturing continues to be the biggest driver of the industry. (Illustrative photo)"></figure>Manufacturing continues to be the biggest driver of the industry. (Illustrative photo)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Manufacturing remained the largest growth driver, up 10% year-on-year. Breakthroughs were seen in several industries: automobile production surged nearly 60%, textiles rose 13.9%, footwear climbed 13.4%, rubber and plastics jumped 17.5%, and non-metallic minerals grew 15%. Meanwhile, oil and gas extraction continued to decline, with crude oil output down 1.3% and natural gas falling 9.4%.Eighteen out of 34 provinces posted IIP growth rates higher than the national average during the eight-month period. Phu Tho grew 26.2%; Ninh Binh 22.8%; Thua Thien Hue 18.7%; Nghe An 16.4%; Quang Ninh 15.6%; Bac Ninh 15.4%; Tay Ninh 15.2%; Hai Phong 14.5%; Thanh Hoa 14.2%; Dong Nai 14.0%; An Giang 13.9%; Lai Chau 13.6%; Dong Thap 12.9%; Dak Lak 12.4%; Da Nang 12.0%; Quang Ngai 11.7%; and both Dien Bien and Hung Yen rose 11.4%.Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Thuong Lang from the Institute of International Trade and Economics, National Economics University, remarked: “From the perspective of industrial structure, we can see a clear divergence. Sectors that meet green standards, low-carbon requirements, and align with global economic restructuring—such as steel, construction materials, and electronics—are showing strong growth. Conversely, traditional sectors like mining and oil and gas are in decline, which is understandable.”He emphasized that this is not just a short-term fluctuation but reflects a long-term shift: “Vietnam’s industrial structure will increasingly tilt toward manufacturing with higher technological content and stricter environmental standards. Industries unable to keep pace with international norms will inevitably slow down, but this is the natural filtering process of development.”Turning challenges into driversOne bright spot, according to Dr. Lang, is foreign direct investment (FDI). “FDI is currently the strongest driver of Vietnam’s industry. It brings technology and global production networks at the same time. FDI enterprises in Vietnam not only produce for export but also create supply chains, generate jobs, and open new market connections.”“In fact, many major corporations have established production lines for electronics, phones, telecommunications equipment, and high-tech components in Vietnam. At certain points, Vietnam’s share of high-tech exports even surpassed China’s in some product categories,” he observed.Besides FDI, digital transformation is seen as the second growth catalyst. “Digital transformation and policy transformation are becoming key drivers. Enterprises that embrace digital technology can expand rapidly, while those who lag behind will fall back or be left out,” he added.In banking, services, and manufacturing, digital technology has helped reduce costs and improve management efficiency. Some agricultural and textile firms are already applying smart management systems to meet strict export standards, from traceability to carbon emission control.“This is encouraging,” Dr. Lang noted. “Vietnamese enterprises, even small and medium-sized ones, are aware of the importance of digital transformation. In footwear and textiles—sectors with traditional strengths—this shift helps complement the FDI sector, creating a more balanced growth picture.”Another highlight in his analysis is Vietnam’s ability to turn global trade challenges into opportunities. “When higher tariffs are imposed on steel, aluminum, or goods from certain countries, Vietnamese businesses find more room to enter those markets. What may seem like barriers for others can sometimes be drivers for Vietnam,” he explained.He called this a positive outcome of integration: “We have 17 free trade agreements that open vast markets. As global trade restructures, Vietnamese goods can seize the gaps left behind by other countries. Their challenges can often become our opportunities.”Still, he cautioned that to turn opportunities into tangible benefits, Vietnam must improve its domestic business environment: “Administrative costs, logistics, and compliance procedures remain high. Unless these hidden costs are reduced, cheap labor and land will no longer be enough to ensure competitiveness.”Despite rising input costs, export fluctuations, and slowing domestic demand, Dr. Lang remains optimistic about Vietnam’s industrial outlook. He explained: “The demand for basic industrial goods such as construction materials, steel, and cement is still very strong thanks to public investment. Electronics and textiles continue to enjoy stable markets. I believe the fourth quarter will see higher growth than the previous three quarters, and full-year 2025 may exceed the average of the first three quarters.”Le An

Advantages for the U.S. companies to expand investment in VietnamAs part of his working trip to the United States (U.S.) to attend the 80th United Nations General Assembly High-Level Debate in New York, on September 23 (local time), President Luong Cuong attended and delivered remarks at a roundtable with major U.S. corporations.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/24/luong-cuong---1-15420144.jpg" alt="President Luong Cuong Chairs the U.S. business roundtable"></figure>President Luong Cuong Chairs the U.S. business roundtableThe event was co-organized by Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Embassy of Vietnam in the United States, the U.S. - ASEAN Business Council (USABC), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC), and the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU).This was one of the important bilateral diplomatic activities, underscoring Vietnam’s determination to promote economic, trade, and investment cooperation with the U.S. - Vietnam’s Comprehensive Strategic Partner.Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien, along with leaders of relevant ministries and agencies, accompanied President Luong Cuong at this event.The roundtable brought together senior executives of many leading U.S. corporations in technology, energy, logistics, healthcare, finance and consumer sectors, including Amazon, Apple, Meta, Coca-Cola, Warburg Pincus, Amway, Atlas Air, Excelerate Energy, EXCEL Services Corporation, and Vantive.On the Vietnamese side, the event was attended by prominent corporations such as the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group, Vietjet, HDBank, and Kinh Bắc City Development Holding Corporation, helping to strengthen connections between the two countries’ business communities.Speaking at the roundtable, President Luong Cuong highlighted the significance, role, and importance of the event.Held at a time when Vietnam and the U.S. are marking the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations (1995–2025) and two years since the establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (2023-2025), the President affirmed that economic, trade, and investment cooperation has always been a key pillar and driving force for the substantive, sustainable and deeper development of bilateral ties.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/24/luong-cuong--4-15413942.jpg" alt="On the sidelines of the Roundtable, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son and Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien had a brief exchange with leaders of Amazon."></figure>On the sidelines of the Roundtable, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son and Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien had a brief exchange with leaders of Amazon.To help U.S. companies and partners better understand the business and investment environment as well as Vietnam’s advantages, President Luong Cuong reviewed the country’s economic development journey.According to the President, nearly 40 years after the "Doi Moi" reform, Vietnam has transformed from an inefficient economy with per capita income of less than USD 100 in 1986 into one of the world’s top 32 economies, with trade turnover ranking among the top 20 globally.Vietnam has signed 17 new-generation free trade agreements, creating a close-knit network with more than 60 major economies worldwide.Notably, amid global economic volatility, Vietnam has maintained macroeconomic stability, achieved a growth rate twice that of the average developing country, and kept inflation under control. Its international reputation and standing are steadily rising.Given these advantages, President Luong Cuong called on the American business community: “Seize the opportunities, expand your presence, and make larger and deeper investments in Vietnam. Together with Vietnam, create a new era of cooperation that is prosperous and sustainable. Vietnam warmly invites leading U.S. corporations to establish Asia-Pacific headquarters and Research and Development (R&amp;D) centers in Vietnam.”Affirming that the 30-year history of Vietnam-U.S. relations is living proof of the journey of reconciliation and trust-building, serving as a model in international relations, the President stressed that bilateral ties are a powerful engine for Vietnam’s sustainable development.“Economic, trade and investment cooperation has always been a key pillar of bilateral relations. In 2024, two-way trade surpassed USD 138 billion. The presence and effective operations of leading U.S. corporations such as Apple, Intel, and Nike in Vietnam testify to the trust and potential for cooperation between the two sides,” President Luong Cuong noted.He acknowledged and highly valued the contributions of foreign investors, including the U.S. business community, in achieving Vietnam’s significant economic accomplishments today.Sharing Vietnam’s strategic orientations and priorities for the future, the President emphasized that by 2045, Vietnam aims to build a prosperous, happy nation and become a developed, high-income country.Vietnam also envisions itself as a strategic link in global supply chains, a manufacturing hub, and an Asia-Pacific center for innovation, research, and development. “Vietnam is not only the world’s ‘factory’ but also its ‘intellectual hub,’” the President affirmed.To realize this vision, Vietnam has undertaken major institutional reforms, considering this the core driving force for development. The country has streamlined its two-tier governance nationwide, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness; revised key laws such as the Law on Investment, the Law on Enterprises, and the Land Law to create a transparent and open business environment; rolled out the National Digital Transformation Strategy; advanced administrative reform; built an e-government; and promoted innovation, green growth, and renewable energy.The President reiterated Vietnam’s readiness to create all favorable conditions for U.S. corporations to expand their footprint, establish regional headquarters and R&amp;D centers in Vietnam, while also calling on U.S. businesses to act as a bridge with the U.S. Government to promote a fair trade process that balances mutual benefits.Welcoming U.S. investment in strategic sectors&nbsp;Building on this strategic orientation, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien affirmed at the roundtable that the United States has always been identified by Vietnam as one of its top economic and trade partners, not only for trade volume but also for its strategic role in global supply chain stability.Minister Dien said the bilateral economic relationship is not only measured by trade figures but also reflects mutual trust, complementarity, and long-term strategic value.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/24/luong-cuong---3-15420198.jpg" alt="Minister Nguyen Hong Dien expressed his hope that U.S. businesses would continue to voice strong support to the U.S. Government, promoting a reciprocal trade negotiation process that is fair and balanced in interests."></figure>Minister Nguyen Hong Dien expressed his hope that U.S. businesses would continue to voice strong support to the U.S. Government, promoting a reciprocal trade negotiation process that is fair and balanced in interests.Vietnam has now become the third-largest economy in ASEAN, one of the world’s top 20 trading economies, and one of the 15 most attractive global destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI). “These figures reflect Vietnam’s strong appeal to the international community, including U.S. companies,” Minister Dien observed.He added that Vietnam is accelerating institutional reforms as a central driver of sustainable development, and welcomes U.S. investment in strategic areas such as digital technology, renewable energy, infrastructure, finance, and healthcare.On reciprocal taxation issues, the Minister expressed his hope that the U.S. business community would continue to voice strong support to the U.S. Government, facilitating trade negotiations that ensure fairness and balance for both sides. He emphasized that U.S. companies’ support is essential to secure long-term agreements and build a solid foundation for bilateral economic cooperation.Minister Dien reaffirmed the Vietnamese Government’s commitment to a transparent, stable and safe legal environment, standing side by side with businesses under the principle that “your success is also our success.”He expressed confidence that a stronger U.S. corporate presence in Vietnam will open a new era of effective and sustainable cooperation under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework between the two countries.Vietnam - a global strategic destination for U.S. corporations At the roundtable, U.S. corporations announced ongoing investment and cooperation activities in Vietnam, pointed out significant potential and opportunities, and shared experience and recommendations for contributing more to Vietnam’s development.The corporations expressed admiration for Vietnam’s economic and social progress, acknowledged the country’s forward-looking development strategies, and voiced confidence that Vietnam will become an attractive destination for global investors and achieve further success in the future.Amazon representatives expressed the company’s desire to expand cooperation in e-commerce, satellite technology, and cloud computing.Coca-Cola reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Vietnam, citing the opening of its new plant in Tay Ninh as proof of an investment strategy tied to sustainable development.Warburg Pincus, one of the largest international investors in Vietnam, highlighted its confidence in the country’s stable and transparent business environment, and stressed plans to continue expanding its footprint.Energy companies such as Excelerate Energy and EXCEL Services Corporation confirmed their interest in partnering with Vietnam on energy security strategies, clean energy development, and nuclear power projects.Other U.S. businesses expressed interest in scaling up manufacturing, boosting exports, and establishing research and development centers in Vietnam, viewing this as a promising path to align mutual benefits.Sharing many common priorities with Vietnam, from promoting digitalization and boosting exports to ensuring equitable development, leading U.S. corporations unanimously agreed that Vietnam holds strong potential to become a leading global destination for development across multiple sectors, reaffirming their commitment to expanding cooperation and investment in the country.Through candid and constructive exchanges, the roundtable with major U.S. companies demonstrated the shared determination of leaders and business communities from both nations to build a new phase of partnership, aimed at prosperity and sustainable development for Vietnam, the U.S., and the international community.This event, along with Vietnam’s activities at the 80th UN General Assembly, reaffirmed Vietnam’s increasingly proactive and positive role in both bilateral relations and global affairs.

At a roundtable with the U.S. businesses, President Luonng Cuong heard a range of priorities for cooperation and expansion of trade and investment.

He praised the contributions of UN agencies in supporting national development priorities, especially in pandemic response, socio-economic recovery, climate change adaptation, disaster relief – most recently during Typhoon Yagi – and in advancing a just energy transition.He reaffirmed Viet Nam's long-term development vision, aiming to become an upper middle-income nation with a modern industrial base by 2030, and a high-income developed country by 2045.&nbsp;To this end, Viet Nam is prioritizing international integration, green growth, science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, private sector development, legal reform, education, and universal healthcare.&nbsp;The State President called on UN agencies to expand support for Viet Nam, particularly in policy advice, scientific collaboration, and capacity-building.The State President also highlighted the significance of the upcoming General Debate, which coincides with both the 80th anniversary of the UN's founding and the 80th National Day of Viet Nam, as both sides are advancing reforms to strengthen effectiveness and responsiveness to global challenges. He expressed appreciation for the UN80 initiative of the Secretary-General, affirming Viet Nam's support for bold reforms and its readiness to host UN agencies and centers in the country.Luong also reiterated Viet Nam's support for the UN's role in shaping global cooperation on artificial intelligence governance, while reaffirming the country's commitment to climate pledges, including the implementation of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). He called upon the UN to work closely with Viet Nam in preparation for the upcoming official visit of Secretary-General António Guterres and the signing of the UN Convention on Cybercrime in Ha Noi this October.In response, the UN Resident Coordinator praised Viet Nam's strong leadership and commitment to multilateralism at a time of global challenges. She stressed that the 80th UN General Assembly represents a pivotal opportunity to strengthen international cooperation on peace, development, and human rights.She commended Viet Nam's remarkable achievements in poverty reduction, socio-economic development, institutional reform, gender equality, and inclusive growth, while particularly noting decisive policies on international integration, digital transformation, energy security, education, and healthcare – all of which put people and businesses at the center.The Resident Coordinator affirmed that the UN will continue to accompany and support Viet Nam in advancing sustainable development, tackling climate change, promoting gender equality, and achieving its long-term strategic goals./.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, Akamai Technologies reported the country's average Internet speed at just 3.8 Mbps, ranking 95th out of more than 100 markets worldwide.In mid-August 2025, Ookla—the company behind the Speedtest tool—announced its Speedtest Awards for the best-performing carriers in the first half of the year. Viet Nam stood out with two telecom carriers recognized among the world's fastest.Not only mobile networks but also fixed Internet services have surged. After months of strong performance, Viet Nam climbed to 10th place globally in the Speedtest Global Index—the highest position since the ranking was launched in 2017. This also represents the highest median Internet speed since Viet Nam first joined the global Internet in 1997.Recently, Viet Nam’s fixed broadband internet speed, powered largely by fiber-optic connections, rose to 13th place globally in July, its highest ranking ever.&nbsp;According to Ookla, the company behind Speedtest, Vietnam has recorded one of the strongest growth trends globally, with both speed and ranking rising month after month.Breakthroughs in 5G and Wi-Fi 7April 2024 marked a milestone when Viet Nam successfully held its first auction of 5G. Just six months later, the first commercial fifth-generation mobile network was launched. This not only demonstrated a major leap in mobile technology but also signified the official deployment of Vietnamese-made 5G equipment on domestic networks.Innovation extended further in October 2024, when VNPT Technology introduced the first "Made-in-Vietnam" Wi-Fi 7 device with a speed of 10 Gbps. "This is the first Wi-Fi device in the Asia-Pacific region using XGSPON technology, and we are also among the first carriers to manufacture and bring such devices to market," a VNPT representative said at the launch event, which was attended by ST Liew, Vice President of Qualcomm Technologies.By August 2025, FPT rolled out service packages supporting Wi-Fi 7 with XGS-PON technology, enabling users to experience speeds of 10 Gbps for both uploads and downloads.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:777px;"><img src="https://bcp.cdnchinhphu.vn/344443456812359680/2025/9/17/174395internet-1758098454077722956253.jpeg" alt="Viet Nam makes big leap forward after 30 years of global Internet connectivity- Ảnh 2."></figure>Toward universal high-speed InternetTo sustain momentum, Viet Nam is pursuing ambitious goals for digital infrastructure. Resolution 57 of the Politburo sets a vision that by 2030 the country will achieve advanced, modern infrastructure with ultra-large capacity and ultra-broad bandwidth, on par with developed economies.The Ministry of Science and Technology targets the deployment of 15 international submarine cable systems with a combined design capacity of 350 Tbps by 2030, including two under Vietnamese ownership, alongside two international terrestrial fiber-optic cables. By then, 100 percent of users are expected to have access to speeds of 1 Gbps.Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized that telecommunications infrastructure is a "national strategic infrastructure," as vital as transportation and electricity. He has called for Viet Nam to aim for a "top 5, top 10" global position.According to the Authority of Telecommunications, in the first half of 2025, Viet Nam's fixed broadband subscription rate reached 24.4 per 100 inhabitants, up 3.9 percent year-on-year. Household fiber-optic usage climbed to 85.3 percent, well above the global average of 60 percent.&nbsp;This year also marks Viet Nam's mastery of the VSTN terrestrial fiber-optic cable system, with a designed capacity of 4 Tbps, expandable to 12 Tbps. This provides the backbone for high-speed connectivity and widespread 5G deployment.Viettel Telecom, one of the country's leading carriers, has set an ambitious target of covering 91 percent of the population with 5G and attracting 12 million subscribers in 2025. To achieve this, the operator plans to deploy an additional 22,000 5G stations, bringing the total to 29,000.If successful, Viettel's rollout will exceed four times the number of stations it launched in October 2024, and more than double the total 5G stations currently operated by all other carriers in the country combined (around 11,000)./.

Over the past three decades, Viet Nam has transformed from a latecomer in global Internet connectivity into a fast-rising digital powerhouse, mastering core technologies in 5G systems, network equipment, and next-generation Internet solutions.

Therefore, leadership, direction, and investment in infrastructure and other necessary conditions must be concentrated to meet this target.Since the beginning of the term, the Government has focused on promoting institution-building and improvement, one of the three strategic breakthroughs and an important pillar to create strong momentum for the country’s advance into a new era. Accordingly, the Government has organized 42 thematic law-making sessions to review and give opinions on about 80 dossiers of draft laws and resolutions.In August and September 2025, the Government continues to focus on law-making work, holding thematic sessions to timely complete and submit to the National Assembly about 113 dossiers, documents, submissions, and reports, including 47 draft laws and resolutions at the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly.The Prime Minister emphasized that from now until the opening of the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly, time is limited, the workload is large, tasks and requirements are high, and the nature of the work is very complex. Therefore, ministries and agencies, especially their heads, must uphold responsibility, provide leadership and direction, and allocate time, personnel, and resources for law-making and institution-building. High determination, great effort, and resolute, effective action are needed to fulfill the goals set by the Central Steering Committee on Institution and Law Improvement, headed by General Secretary To Lam.The Prime Minister required ministers and heads of ministerial-level agencies to directly lead law-making and institutional improvement, taking main responsibility for the quality of legal policies in their sectors, especially the draft laws and resolutions to be submitted at the upcoming 10th National Assembly session. In the immediate future, they must ensure quality and timeliness of these draft laws and resolutions.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/08/q2-09344056-13121749.jpg" alt="The Prime Minister requested that ministers and heads of ministerial-level agencies directly direct the work of building and perfecting institutions and take primary responsibility for the quality of legal policies in the areas under their management - Photo: VGP/Nhat Bac"></figure>The Prime Minister requested that ministers and heads of ministerial-level agencies directly direct the work of building and perfecting institutions and take primary responsibility for the quality of legal policies in the areas under their management - Photo: VGP/Nhat BacAccording to the Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the issues discussed at the session are of great importance and necessity, including draft laws in the form of “one law amending multiple laws,” to improve the legal framework, enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of state management in key areas and in the context of deep international integration; create an open and favorable legal environment; ensure the legitimate rights and interests of people and businesses; promptly remove legal obstacles to promote socio-economic development; and strive to achieve the growth targets.The Prime Minister noted several major principles in law-making and institutional improvement: “What is ripe, clear, proven correct in practice, and has majority consensus should be codified into law; what is still changing or beyond the competence of the National Assembly should be regulated by Government decrees”; “regulations should be concise and go straight to current bottlenecks.”He requested that submitting agencies ensure their reports are concise and clear, specify contents to be removed, refined, amended, or supplemented, especially those related to delegation of power and responsibilities, resource allocation, enforcement capacity, strengthening inspection, supervision, and output control, and cutting at least 30% of administrative procedures, implementation time, and compliance costs. They must also clarify their positions on issues with differing opinions.<blockquote>The Prime Minister also required Government members to devote efforts, intellect, and resources to law-making work; continue the spirit of innovation; present reports and opinions concisely and clearly, going straight to the issues; focus discussions on important and major issues with differing opinions in the draft laws; and ensure the timeliness and quality of the session.</blockquote>According to Chinhphu.vnKim Bui

Despite wars, upheavals, and periods of crisis, the system has consistently evolved, leaving a profound imprint on the nation's development.1945–1954: Foundations and Illiteracy EradicationIn 1945, more than 90 percent of Viet Nam's population could not read or write. Amid economic collapse and existential threats, the government prioritized literacy. Movements for adult education flourished in liberated zones, schools reopened, and universities resumed teaching in Vietnamese.In occupied areas, education became a battleground of ideology. While the French colonial administration sought to suppress revolutionary ideas through its school system, underground classes maintained literacy efforts. Schools also became centers of surveillance, repression, and resistance.1954–1975: Divergent paths in the north and southAfter the Geneva Accords, the country was divided, leading to contrasting education models.In the North, illiteracy was nearly eliminated through a third major campaign. The 1956 reform introduced a 10-year general education system, standardized curricula, and professional teacher training. Education was tied to socialist construction, with curricula emphasizing labor and practical skills. Universities expanded rapidly despite wartime bombings.In the South, two systems coexisted: one under the Republic of Viet Nam and another in liberated zones. Revolutionary education thrived, particularly after 1961, with its own curricula and textbooks. By the late 1960s, schools spread widely in semi-legal and legal forms, especially following the Paris Peace Accords.1975–1986: National Unification and Comprehensive ReformFollowing reunification, education focused on stabilizing and unifying institutions across the country. By 1978, illiteracy was largely eradicated in the South, and most private schools were absorbed into the public system. Postgraduate education was also introduced.Resolution 14 (1979) launched the third comprehensive education reform, establishing a unified 12-year system with standardized curricula. However, the economic crisis of the 1980s strained the sector. Funding was limited, classrooms were makeshift, and teachers faced severe financial hardship. Despite these challenges, the ideological foundation — "education is the cultural backbone of a nation and the strength of its future" — was affirmed.1986–2000: Education as a National PriorityWith the Doi Moi reforms, education was officially declared a "top national policy." Resolution 6 (1989) called for diversification, expansion of non-public schools, and mixed financing models.The 7th Party Congress (1991) highlighted three strategic goals: raising public knowledge, developing human resources, and nurturing talent. These principles were codified in the Law on Universal Primary Education (1991) and the Education Law (1998).This period marked the start of educational socialization, encouraging community and private sector participation. Tuition fees were introduced, and new pathways for vocational training and higher education expansion were established.2000–2025: Reform, Digital Transformation, and Global IntegrationEntering the 21st century, Viet Nam achieved universal primary education and literacy, followed by nationwide universal lower secondary education in 2010.The Education Law (2005) replaced semi-public schools with private and non-public institutions, while vocational training was strengthened under the 2006 law. Quality accreditation was introduced for the first time.Resolution 29-NQ/TW (2013) called for fundamental and comprehensive reform, supported by the Education Development Strategy 2011–2020 and the Higher Education Law (2012). Investment in education was secured at a minimum of 20 percent of the state budget, solidifying its role as a developmental priority.The COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) accelerated digital learning, reinforcing the principle: "suspend school, but don't stop learning." Since then, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and STEM education have become strategic pillars, positioning Viet Nam's education system to embrace globalization and innovation.<figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://bcp.cdnchinhphu.vn/344443456812359680/2025/9/5/tong-bi-thu-to-lamjpeg-1756977748296-17570412859261781379141.jpg" alt="Viet Nam’s 80-year education journey: From illiteracy to internationalization- Ảnh 2."></figure>Party General Secretary To Lam (center) presents a state-of-the-art STEM lab to Cau Giay Secondary School during his fact-finding trip on May 14, 2025Proud milestones and strategic breakthroughsViet Nam's education sector has achieved many proud and groundbreaking accomplishments that reflect the strategic vision of the sector, contributing to raising intellectual standards, training human resources, and nurturing talent.The education network, from preschool to university, has been expanded and improved, with increasingly modern facilities. The number of national standard schools and non-public educational institutions has risen rapidly, creating diversity in educational models.The universalization of primary and lower secondary education has been firmly maintained, while many localities have achieved universal upper secondary education. Notably, in 2017, Viet Nam announced the completion of preschool universalization for five-year-old children, with nearly 99 percent enrolled.The scale of education and training has developed strongly: the rate of students attending school at the right age has increased, and dropout rates have significantly decreased. By 2020, about 70 percent of the workforce trained in vocational education had been certified; the number of university students per 10,000 people increased from 117 (in 2000) to more than 200 (in 2010) and has continued to rise since then.The first cycle of the 2018 General Education Program has been completed; vocational education has become more closely aligned with market demand; universities have expanded autonomy, strengthened quality assurance, and developed many programs meeting regional and international standards.Educational equity has improved thanks to policies supporting disadvantaged students, those in difficult areas, and ethnic minorities, thereby increasing enrollment rates among vulnerable groups.International integration and digital transformation have become new driving forces. Many institutions have established international partnerships, while digital transformation after the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of digital learning resources, online teaching, and modern governance, laying the foundation for Viet Nam's digital education ecosystem.Looking back on the 2000–2025 period, Viet Nam's education system has undergone strong transformation with many important achievements, most notably the completion of universal education and comprehensive fundamental reforms.Entering a new stage amid deep international integration, continued reform is essential. Therefore, comprehensive digital transformation, enhanced autonomy, and stronger connections between schools and society are strategic tasks to build high-quality human resources, meeting the requirements of the country's sustainable development./.&nbsp;

From mass illiteracy in the aftermath of war in 1945 to the current era of global integration, Viet Nam’s education system has undergone five transformative phases over the past eight decades.
