Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has stressed the urgent need to enhance the effectiveness of the negotiation and implementation of international commitments and agreements so as to step up foreign affairs and international integration while strengthening Viet Nam’s prestige and stature in the world to support the realisation of strategic development goals, including double-digit growth for 2026–2030.

Achieving double-digit economic growth in 2026 will hinge on pooling and deploying investment resources, with public funds playing a pivotal role, according to experts.

The first Autumn Fair 2025 officially opened at the Viet Nam Exposition Centre in Dong Anh commune, Ha Noi, on October 25 evening.

In the first eight months of 2025, Viet Nam’s goods exports surpassed the target set by the National Assembly. Numerous key product groups recorded impressive growth. Amid tariff fluctuations, technical barriers, and signs of slowing demand in major markets, the pressure to sustain growth momentum in the rest of the year is considerable.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed the Viet Nam Electricity (EVN) to ensure power supply to meet the country’s development demands with double-digit growth set for the coming years.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung called for clear commitments based on investor proposals, Vietnamese law, and balanced interests at a July 31 meeting to boost foreign direct investment (FDI) projects from the Republic of Korea (RoK) in strategic sectors such as semiconductors and energy.

According to the socio-economic development report for the first half of 2025 released by the Ministry of Finance, Viet Nam's GDP grew by 7.31%, the highest rate for the same period in nearly 20 years.
