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./.

As a special guest, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will attend the opening ceremony of WEF Tianjin Meeting and deliver a keynote speech at a key session titled “Is Asia’s Century at Risk?” said Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Thanh Binh.

Photo: VGPFrench Ambassador to Viet Nam Oliver Bochet made the above remarks during a recent interview with reporters in Ha Noi.As a littoral country with a coastline of more than 3,200km, Viet Nam faces ocean-related challenges like climate change, coastal erosion, depletion of marine resources among others, making it meaningful for Viet Nam to join the UN Ocean Conference, said the Ambassador.The conference will also provide a good chance for Viet Nam and France to affirm their shared values and viewpoints on the international stage, while working together to address global challenges.On the sidelines of the conference, Viet Nam will chair an event focused on river deltas around the world, including the Mekong Delta, said the diplomat.France is particularly hopeful that the Vietnamese leader will announce the approval of the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement). France has already ratified the treaty and encourages Viet Nam and other countries to do the same to facilitate its early entry into force.France is keen to work closely with both E.U. and non-E.U. partners such as Viet Nam to build a shared understanding of the threats facing the oceans, and to take timely, effective action before the situation becomes irreversible, the diplomat stated.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:777px;"><img src="https://bcp.cdnchinhphu.vn/thumb_w/640/344443456812359680/2025/6/8/phap-17490908425251893440446-17493704703121795201465.jpg" alt="French Ambassador highlights significance of Vietnamese Prime Minister's participation in UN Ocean Conference- Ảnh 2."></figure>French Ambassador to Viet Nam Oliver BochetRegarding bilateral cooperation on sustainable marine resource exploitation, Brochet said Viet Nam and France have long collaborated at the international level, particularly in advancing governance for the high seas, which currently lack comprehensive regulations.He also highlighted the two countries' long-standing scientific collaboration, especially in marine research. French institutions such as IRD, IFREMER, and CIRAD are working closely with Vietnamese partners on a range of projects. In addition, France is supporting Viet Nam in addressing coastal erosion, with the French Development Agency AFD implementing projects across several Vietnamese provinces to tackle this issue.France is also assisting Viet Nam in meeting E.U. requirements to lift the 'yellow card' warning imposed on its fisheries sector. As part of French President Emmanuel Macron's recent visit to Viet Nam, France announced 700,000 EUR in funding for a pilot initiative using satellite-based monitoring devices on Vietnamese fishing vessels. If successful, the program could be extended across the entire fleet, thereby helping Viet Nam meet E.U. standards.Looking at broader cooperation, Brochet emphasized that higher education and research have remained pillars of the two countries' partnership for over three decades. In light of Viet Nam's recently issued Resolution 57-NQ/TW, which calls for stronger development of science and higher education, France hopes to deepen collaboration in this area.During President Macron's visit, the French Tech Summit in Ho Chi Minh City officially launched the France–Viet Nam year of innovation, which will run until the end of 2026. This initiative aims to foster connections among businesses, universities, and research institutions from both countries to jointly address development challenges.Brochet said one key objective is to increase the number of Vietnamese students in France, which remains relatively modest. At the same time, efforts are needed to further promote Francophone culture in Viet Nam. Beyond the hard sciences, bilateral research collaboration is expanding into areas such as healthcare, biomedicine, transport, nuclear energy, space technology, and applied sciences.Finally, the ambassador stressed the importance of culture as a cornerstone of the bilateral ties. He noted that cultural exchange continues to enrich both nations and that culture and innovation will serve as vital foundations for future cooperation.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's participation in the third UN Ocean Conference reflects Viet Nam's strong commitment to addressing global challenges such as global warming, environmental pollution and biodiversity conservation, a diplomat said.

Focusing on enhancing value for key local productsIn accordance with the provincial industrial promotion plan for 2025 approved by the Lao Cai Provincial People’s Committee under Document No. 79/KH-UBND, 7 rural industrial establishments will receive funding support to implement specific development initiatives.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/062025/04/17/ven-5-lao-cai-120250604170351.png?rt=20250604170353" alt="Lao Cai races to complete final leg of 2021–2025 industrial promotion program"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Carpentry and woodworking are among industries that Lao Cai 's industrial promotion programs prioritizes support for in 2025.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>The document emphasizes encouraging and assisting organizations, individuals, and all economic sectors in investing in and expanding industrial and handicraft production. The overarching goal is to leverage local strengths, conserve resources, and especially enhance the added value and competitiveness of local products.The plan also targets rural industrial establishments in high-potential sectors with strong domestic and export market prospects, particularly in the processing of agricultural and forestry products, medicinal herbs, and handicrafts.This year, district-level industrial promotion in Lao Cai is tasked with supporting five rural industrial facilities across Lao Cai City, Bac Ha District, and Muong Khuong District through five individual projects.These include support for investment in woodworking machinery at Ly Seo So's facility in Bac Ha District; provision of agricultural processing equipment at Sung Pao's facility in Muong Khuong District; supply of mechanical processing machinery for Minh Linh Construction and Trading Co., Ltd. in Lao Cai City; assistance with mechanical production equipment for Nguyen Ngoc Thai’s facility in Lao Cai City; and installation of an automatic tea bag production line at the Agricultural Medicine and Green Technology Joint Stock Company, also based in Lao Cai City.The total budget for these activities is estimated at over VND 4.1 billion, of which more than VND 1.2 billion comes from industrial promotion funds, while nearly VND 2.9 billion is contributed by the participating businesses themselves. Currently, the Lao Cai Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion is working closely with local districts and rural facilities to implement the approved projects.Alongside these efforts, the Department of Industry and Trade of Lao Cai is also conducting a comprehensive review of the 2021–2025 industrial promotion programs to ensure that all objectives are met on schedule.Laying the groundwork for a new phase of growthLao Cai has set ambitious targets for its 2021–2025 industrial promotion program. The province aims to generate over VND 5.31 trillion in output from cottage industries, create more than 3,000 new jobs, and increase the average production scale of rural manufacturing facilities from VND 1.27 billion to over VND 2 billion per facility. The program also seeks to refine management processes and improve the capacity for executing industrial promotion activities.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/062025/04/17/ven-5-lao-cai20250604170352.png?rt=20250604170630" alt="Lao Cai races to complete final leg of 2021–2025 industrial promotion program"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Through the industrial promotion program, Lao Cai supports the development of production and consumption of rural industrial products.

The initiatives have focused primarily on vocational training, skills transfer, managerial capacity building for rural industries, adoption of advanced machinery, and the development of signature rural industrial products.Initial assessments show that the program has effectively supported rural industrial enterprises and production facilities across the province, contributing to increased productivity, revenue, and employment. The outcomes so far suggest that the program is largely on track to meet its objectives.However, like many other mountainous provinces, Lao Cai faces certain challenges. Funding levels for industrial promotion remain relatively modest. There is also no unified software system for building a database on rural industrial development and product tracking. Furthermore, budget decentralization between provincial and district levels complicates implementation. Many districts still struggle to allocate the necessary funds to disburse support for the industrial promotion projects assigned by the province.These limitations have affected the overall effectiveness and progress of the province’s five-year industrial promotion plan. In the immediate term, Lao Cai is taking a proactive and flexible approach to ensure that funding-approved projects for 2025 are implemented and completed as planned.In the long run, the provincial Department of Industry and Trade will continue to advise the People's Committee on policy formulation to foster the industrial sector’s growth. The department will also coordinate with other provincial trade departments in the region to focus on developing key projects, value chain-based programs, and industrial cluster linkages. A close integration between industrial promotion efforts and trade promotion activities—including domestic and international trade fairs—will be emphasized, serving as a bridge to connect businesses and help build strong product branding.Hai Linh - Phu Quy

As 2025 marks the final year of the 2021–2025 industrial promotion program, Lao Cai’s Department of Industry and Trade is making a concerted push not only to fulfill this year’s targets ahead of schedule but also to review and align ongoing plans to ensure the entire program concludes with optimal results.

This would promote digital transformation, help businesses and household enterprises grow, contribute fairly to the state budget, and prevent tax losses, especially in sectors like food and beverage, and services, emphasized the Prime Minister.At the Digital Transformation Day of the banking sector in 2025, Prime Minister Pham underlined the need to improve the legal framework, mechanisms, and policies to align with practical realities.It is necessary to develop modern digital infrastructure and platforms that ensure system security, safety, and high interoperability, he noted, adding that the banking sector should diversify and personalize digital banking products and services to enhance convenience and user experience.Pham called for developing digital data resources, integrating with Project 06 to create momentum for digital transformation in the banking sector while prioritizing the development of human resources to meet the transformation needs of the banking industry.He also stressed the necessity of intensifying widespread communication efforts to raise public and business awareness about the benefits of digital transformation in the banking sector.Cashless payment activities have been widely implemented and have made remarkable progress. The percentage of adults with a payment account has reached 87 percent, surpassing the 2025 target of 80 percent.

By the end of 2024, American investors poured US$11.94 billion in over 1,400 projects in Viet Nam.Meanwhile, the Southeast Asian nation invested in 252 projects in the U.S., with a total investment capital of over US$1.36 billion, ranking 6th out of 83 outbound investment destinations.Viet Nam is the 8th largest trading partner of the U.S. in the world and 4th largest export market of the U.S. in ASEAN.At the session, American businesses representatives highly appreciated Viet Nam's investment and business environment, especially the Government's recent efforts to further improve transparency and efficiency, including eliminating at least 30 percent of unnecessary business and investment conditions, reducing the processing time of administrative procedures by at least 30 percent, and cutting administrative costs by at least 30 percent.Recently, Viet Nam has committed to promoting balanced and sustainable investment and trade cooperation with the U.S. by increasing imports of goods in which the U.S. has strengths and Viet Nam has demand, reducing import tariffs on U.S. products, and addressing obstacles faced by U.S. projects operating in Viet Nam, they noted.Addressing the event, Prime Minister Pham called on the business community and the U.S. Embassy to actively convey Viet Nam's efforts and goodwill to President Donald Trump's Administration, encouraging the U.S. to adopt the most favorable approach among possible solutions to promote balanced and sustainable trade cooperation with Viet Nam.He also expressed hope that the two sides would soon reach a tariff agreement that brings both immediate and long-term benefits to both countries, their people, and their businesses.Sharing Viet Nam's perspective on the ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, the Prime Minister said, Viet Nam does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and wishes for all nations to develop, in the interest of stability, peace, cooperation, and development in the region and around the world.Viet Nam especially hopes to avoid the outbreak of trade wars, particularly between major powers such as the U.S. and China and encourages nations to enhance cooperative relationships based on the rule of law, adhere to international commitments and the United Nations Charter, and avoid actions that negatively impact other countries.Prime Minister Pham expressed his hope that U.S.–China trade negotiations will make meaningful progress, resulting in mutually beneficial agreements for both parties and for the broader international community.The Vietnamese Government vows to create all favorable conditions and protect the legal and legitimate rights and interests of businesses, including U.S. businesses, to enable them to cooperate, invest, and conduct sustainable and effective business in the country, asserted the Prime Minister.Viet Nam continues to reform its visa policies to facilitate foreign arrivals, including those from the U.S.&nbsp; into the country, and wishes that the U.S. Administration will consider adopting more favorable visa policies for Vietnamese citizens, said Pham./.

Driving the Digital ShiftThe Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) is actively assisting Vietnamese supporting industry enterprises in embracing digital transformation to seize opportunities from the Fourth Industrial Revolution and move toward smart, sustainable manufacturing.According to Director of the Industrial Development Support Center, Chu Viet Cuong, under the MoIT’s Department of Industry, the agency has consistently organized initiatives through the center to aid businesses. These efforts include implementing digital transformation models and developing smart factory systems aimed at enhancing production efficiency and integrating into global supply and value chains.“We regularly conduct training programs and introduce intelligent production management systems for factories and enterprises in the supporting and industrial sectors,” Cuong emphasized.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/052025/13/18/screen-shot-2025-05-13-at-60648-pm20250513182806.png?rt=20250513182808" alt="Domestic supporting industry enterprises have also become increasingly active in applying modern standards and management tools in their manufacturing and production processes."></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Domestic supporting industry enterprises have also become increasingly active in applying modern standards and management tools in their manufacturing and production processes.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>The MoIT has also fostered partnerships with multinational corporations and major foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises operating in Vietnam. These collaborations focus on production improvements, workforce upskilling, digital transformation, and the development of smart factories for domestic industrial firms. These support programs have yielded promising results, spreading positive momentum across Vietnam’s industrial landscape and opening greater opportunities for local businesses to participate more deeply in global supply chains.Chief Executive Officer of Intech Group, Hoang Huu Thang, a leading enterprise in Vietnam’s supporting industries, noted that the firm has prioritized digital transformation and adopted a phased approach toward full integration. “With a digital operating platform, all data is meticulously recorded. This enables us to make strategic decisions based on science and data,” he shared. “It also enhances the customer experience by ensuring timely service, including maintenance and repair work.”Vietnamese-made supporting industry products are increasingly trusted by global giants such as Samsung, LG, Apple, Honda, and Toyota. Local suppliers are now providing key components for global production chains.Boosting support for businessesVietnamese component manufacturers have made significant strides in areas such as mold-making, bicycle and motorcycle parts, standard mechanical components, electrical cables, and high-tech rubber and plastic parts. These products not only meet domestic demand but are also exported worldwide.Local supporting industry firms are increasingly applying modern standards and management tools in their manufacturing processes. Major Vietnamese conglomerates like Viettel, Vingroup, Truong Hai (THACO), Thanh Cong, and Hoa Phat have developed strong industrial bases in materials, machinery, and basic industries, laying a solid foundation for supporting industries to integrate into global production networks.Despite existing support policies for digital transformation, many businesses still face challenges accessing these resources. Several firms reported that the cost of applying for state-funded support sometimes exceeds the benefits received. Moreover, information about available programs often fails to reach the enterprises most in need.Deputy General Director of Hanel Production and Trading JSC (Hanel PT), Tran Duc Tung, noted that digital transformation is far from easy. “The greatest challenge is leadership commitment. Without a clear and determined strategy from top management, transformation efforts are unlikely to succeed.”To move toward smart manufacturing, Hanel PT is focusing on standardizing both operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). “We’ve achieved around 60% automation in our operations, and our next goal is to raise that to 80%,” said Tran Duc Tung.He also highlighted the need for more accessible financial support. “We hope to access favorable loans and funding packages more easily, with simplified procedures. There should also be R&amp;D support, because digital transformation is fundamentally an R&amp;D activity within production.”“To successfully transform, we must improve workforce quality. We hope the Department of Industry and the government will expand training programs to help our staff manage and operate new systems more effectively,” he added.Strengthening the ministry's ecosystemHead of the Supporting Industries Division at the Department of Industry, Nguyen Manh Ha, acknowledged the difficulties businesses face during digital transformation. He noted that the government has introduced various mechanisms and policies to promote the development of both the general and supporting industries in recent years. The department has also engaged in multiple cooperation activities with domestic and international partners, including large FDI companies, to enhance the competitiveness of Vietnamese firms and support their integration into global supply chains.Looking ahead, Ha stressed the need for establishing specialized industrial zones in the north, central, and southern regions. He called for additional workforce training, support for importing used yet internationally standardized machinery, and stronger state-led efforts to guide local enterprises into production networks. He also urged better connections between major international corporations operating in Vietnam and local supporting industry firms.Digital transformation is rapidly unfolding across all sectors of the economy — especially in industrial production and, more specifically, in supporting industries. This trend demands that Vietnam’s manufacturing sector accelerate its digital shift to keep pace with the evolving requirements of modern development.Le An

As Vietnam accelerates industrial modernization, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is driving digital transformation in supporting industries, paving the way for smart, sustainable manufacturing and deeper integration into global value chains.

Consumer engagement with social media, onsite digital activations, mobile platforms and more offers data to better target and win over customers you might not reach otherwise.
