General Secretary of the Communist Party of Việt Nam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm's upcoming state visit to Russia, official visit to France and attendance at the International Space Summit in Paris are expected to mark new milestones in Việt Nam's comprehensive strategic partnerships with the two countries, according to Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Lê Thị Thu Hằng.
Paris views the upcoming official visit by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Việt Nam Central Committee and President Tô Lâm as an opportunity to strongly boost relations with a key Southeast Asian partner and to accelerate the implementation of the bilateral Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, said Julie Lê Saos, Advisor for Asia, Oceania and the Americas to the French President.
Korea and Việt Nam are each other’s third-largest trading partner, while Korea is Việt Nam's largest foreign investor. Against this backdrop, our two countries have continued to build a strong partnership. Our countries have set a goal of increasing bilateral trade to US$150 billion by 2030, and are exploring ways to expand cooperation in infrastructure projects in Việt Nam, including new city development, high-speed railways, nuclear energy, and power grids.
Parliamentary diplomacy complements high-level and government diplomacy while providing a channel to discuss issues directly affecting people’s lives, including education, employment, business, immigration and cultural exchanges, said Professor Park Yeon Kwan.
The visit signals that both Việt Nam and Russia attach great importance to their friendly cooperation, reflecting the aspirations and political will of their leaders and people to inherit and carry forward their long-standing traditional friendship, while sharing a strong determination to consolidate and deepen their comprehensive strategic partnership.
Dr Valeria Vershinina highlighted Việt Nam’s growing role as a “strategic link” in the region, noting it is a completely equal member of regional structures and has proactively promoted many important security initiatives, including the establishment of the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM+).
British researcher of Vietnamese politics and history Kyril Whittaker said stronger implementation capacity at home provides a foundation for Việt Nam to deepen international cooperation and integration. At the centre of both efforts should be people and sustainable development.
Australian Ambassador to Việt Nam Gillian Bird stressed the importance of translating the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership into tangible results for both countries. She cited General Secretary and President Tô Lâm’s state visit to Australia earlier in August as the perfect example of a substantive and outcomes-focused high-level visit.
Vietnamese Ambassador to the RoK Vũ Hồ stressed that the two legislatures could strengthen exchanges between specialised committees on AI governance, data protection, information security, carbon markets, clean energy, semiconductor industry development and oversight of major infrastructure projects.
As of August 25, the publishing house has printed and distributed 225 million textbooks and over 76 million workbooks and reference books, exceeding the initial registration targets set by local provinces.
Việt Nam is racing to build a domestic semiconductor industry as it rolls out a major push on science, technology and digital transformation. In an interview with Viet Nam News Agency, Tokyo-based professor Phạm Nam Hải outlines how deeper cooperation with Japan, a three‑tier research and training model and better use of overseas Vietnamese experts could help the country climb the chip value chain.
Việt Nam is preparing to overhaul its 2011 Law on Measurement to keep pace with digital transformation, new technologies and a changing economy. The proposed revisions would shift metrology toward risk-based, data-driven management, strengthen national capacity and give businesses a greater role, while cutting red tape and compliance costs.
Amendments to key laws, including the Investment Law and the Petroleum Law, along with broader authority for local authorities, unlocked resources and cut compliance costs for companies, marking a breakthrough in institutional reform and deeper decentralisation, according to the editorial.
Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Vũ Chiến Thắng speaks to Vietnam News Agency about the revised Law on Vietnamese Guest Workers under Contract recently passed by the 16th National Assembly.
Nguyễn Trung Kiên, chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, talks to Việt Nam News reporter Nguyễn Hằng about the most significant shifts in the Party’s thinking regarding the role and status of the overseas Vietnamese community as outlined in Resolution 23 and breakthrough solutions to bring about a distinct transformation in overseas Vietnamese affairs while building an effective ecosystem connecting the State with the diaspora.
Overseas Vietnamese are always looking back toward home, and though they contribute in many different ways, they all share the common goal of preserving and protecting our heritage, said principal of the Vietnamese-Khmer Friendship Primary School in Prey Veng Province in Cambodia, Nguyễn Văn Hào.
Việt Nam–Kyrgyzstan relations are gradually moving from potential to substantive cooperation.
Resolution 23 sets the goal of leveraging the overseas Vietnamese community to promote the image of the country and its people, thereby strengthening national soft power and reputation. I believe the áo dài is a beautiful "language" through which we can achieve this.
