Viet Nam is no longer a low-cost assembly point at the end of someone else's supply chain but a node in a multi-directional network, importing high-value inputs from Taiwan and South Korea, adding manufacturing scale and sophistication, and exporting finished and intermediate goods back into the region and beyond. Two-way flows are deepening, and Viet Nam's position within them is strengthening", underlined Evans.The CEO of HSBC emphasized that rise reflects policy as much as geography. The government has set out a national semiconductor strategy with ambitions to train tens of thousands of chip engineers by 2030 and has made science, technology and digital transformation a declared pillar of national development.Global manufacturers have responded with major investments in chip packaging, testing and electronics production across the country, while partnerships with leading technology firms are bringing research and design capability onshore alongside the production lines, he added.Viet Nam is also beginning to build the demand side of the equation. Announced FDI in data centers globally exceeded US$270 billion in 2025, with Southeast Asia claiming a growing share, and Viet Nam's young, digitally native population and rapidly formalizing enterprise sector position it to become a meaningful consumer of AI services as well as a producer of AI hardware, told Evans.The economies that gain most from this era will be those participating at several points of the value chain at once, making the hardware, hosting the infrastructure and applying the technology to lift productivity across the wider economy, he added.In the decade ahead, the CEO at HSBC noted that the structural forces nonetheless favor Viet Nam. Supply chains are diversifying across Asia rather than concentrating in any single location, regional agreements such as RCEP and CPTPP continue to lower frictions, and Viet Nam has shown over successive waves of investment that it can absorb capacity, move up the value chain and deliver at scale.As Asia evolves from an export platform into an AI demand center in its own right, Viet Nam sits geographically and economically at the center of that transition, he highlighted.If Viet Nam converts its manufacturing momentum into a genuine AI ecosystem, pairing hardware scale with skills, infrastructure and enterprise adoption, the returns will show up well beyond export receipts, in the productivity of factories, services and the daily operations of hundreds of thousands of businesses, stated Evans./.

On June 29, at the headquarters of the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry in Jerusalem, Ambassador of Vietnam to Israel Nguyen Ky Son held a working session with Minister Nir Barkat on strengthening the implementation of the bilateral Free Trade Agreement (VIFTA), contributing to further expanding multifaceted cooperation between the two countries, particularly in trade exchange and industrial cooperation, as well as promoting the convening of the Intergovernmental Committee (Joint Committee) between Vietnam and Israel.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2026/06/30/lth11c7593-17274068.jpg" alt="Ambassador Nguyen Ky Son and the Vietnam Trade Office hold talks with the Israeli Minister of Economy and Industry."></figure>Ambassador Nguyen Ky Son and the Vietnam Trade Office hold talks with the Israeli Minister of Economy and Industry.Attending the meeting on the Vietnamese side were Le Thai Hoa, Commercial Counsellor in charge of the Vietnam Trade Office, and officials from the Embassy of Vietnam. On the Israeli side, there were representatives from relevant departments under the Foreign Trade Administration of the Ministry of Economy and Industry of Israel.At the meeting, Minister Nir Barkat emphasised that with a population of over 100 million people, along with the diligence and discipline of its workforce, Vietnam is emerging as a global manufacturing hub and an attractive destination not only for tourism but also for Israeli businesses seeking investment and commercial opportunities.The Israeli Minister affirmed that Vietnam - Israel relations have been developing positively across multiple fields, with expanding people-to-people exchanges and growing mutual understanding and goodwill between the two peoples.He also expressed a desire to further enhance cooperation in trade exchange, particularly through more effective implementation of VIFTA by deepening the complementarity between the two economies. He noted that it is now timely for both sides to convene the Intergovernmental Committee (Joint Committee), and proposed strengthening exchanges and contacts to review cooperation progress and identify directions and measures for future collaboration.Regarding investment cooperation, Minister Nir Barkat noted that Israel is one of the world’s leading innovation hubs and a country that widely applies artificial intelligence (AI) across sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare and more. Israeli enterprises have been effective in commercialising technological products for real-world applications globally. Around 80% of tens of thousands of Israeli companies operate in fields where Israel has strengths, including AI, cybersecurity, and healthcare-related technologies.He added that Israel is always ready to welcome Vietnamese business delegations to explore the Israeli market, and is also considering sending Israeli business delegations to Vietnam to seek cooperation opportunities with local partners.In response, Ambassador Nguyen Ky Son congratulated Israel on its recent economic achievements and affirmed that Vietnam attaches great importance to its multifaceted friendly and cooperative relations with Israel, particularly in areas such as economics, trade, science and technology. He expressed satisfaction with the strong growth in bilateral trade exchange.Since VIFTA entered into force in mid-November 2024, it has created strong momentum, pushing bilateral trade turnover to nearly USD 4 billion, making Vietnam one of Israel’s major trading partners not only in Asia but also globally.The Vietnamese Ambassador assessed that the potential and room for cooperation remain significant, stressing that both sides should fully leverage the advantages of VIFTA to expand cooperation, particularly in sectors where Israel has strengths and Vietnam has demand.He also outlined Vietnam’s key priorities in his tenure and expressed hope for continued close coordination and support from Israeli authorities, including the Ministry of Economy and Industry and Minister Nir Barkat personally, particularly in enhancing bilateral exchanges and creating more favourable conditions for Vietnamese goods to access the Israeli market, as well as prioritising investment cooperation in science and technology, combining Israeli technology with Vietnam’s resources.The meeting took place in an open and constructive atmosphere. Representatives of the Vietnam Trade Office and leaders of Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry agencies also exchanged specific proposals for future cooperation and agreed to maintain close communication channels to effectively coordinate implementation. This is expected to contribute actively to expanding multifaceted cooperation for the benefit of the people and businesses of both countries, and for peace, stability and prosperity in the region and the world.<blockquote>In 2025, bilateral merchandise trade reached USD 3.63 billion, up 11.8%, of which Vietnam’s exports amounted to USD 865 million, an increase of 8.9% compared to 2024. In the first five months of 2026, bilateral trade reached USD 1.6 billion, with Vietnam’s exports to Israel reaching USD 462 million, a remarkable increase of 30.6% year-on-year. It is forecast that if the current growth momentum is maintained and no abnormal market fluctuations occur, bilateral trade in 2026 could reach about USD 3.9 billion, with Vietnam’s exports exceeding USD 1.0 billion. In terms of investment cooperation, to date, Israel has invested approximately USD 155.90 million in Vietnam across 45 projects, while Vietnam’s investment in Israel has reached around USD 78.25 million.</blockquote>Translation by Le Van

Despite domestic difficulties, global uncertainties, and challenges to energy security, the energy sector in general and the power industry in particular have successfully overcome obstacles and fulfilled their assigned responsibilities.The Minister noted that growing energy demand and ambitious economic growth targets present both challenges and opportunities for the sector to continue innovating and developing. However, to meet the socio-economic development requirements of the coming period, particularly the country’s high-growth objectives, the energy sector must intensify its efforts and act with greater determination in carrying out assigned tasks.In this context, ensuring sufficient electricity supply for the economy and people’s daily lives remains EVN’s foremost priority.Accordingly, the Minister instructed EVN to continue working closely with Petrovietnam, TKV, and other relevant entities to ensure an adequate, continuous, and stable supply of fuel inputs, particularly coal and natural gas for electricity generation.At the same time, the Minister requested NSMO to coordinate with power generation companies to optimize maintenance schedules and avoid plant shutdowns during periods of peak heat and high demand.
