These measures include the 2017 Fisheries Law, allocation of resources for local management, compliance with IUU, SIMP, and FIP programs, and implementing “Dolphin-Safe” certification for tuna exports.VASEP has urged the government and relevant ministries to take urgent measures to protect domestic seafood enterprises, ensure market access to the US, and minimize risks from the January 2026 ban.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/16/bo-truong-bo-cong-thuong-19084981-11145877.jpeg" alt="Minister Nguyen Hong Dien sent a letter to Minister Howard Lutnick asking DOC and NOAA to reconsider their decision to refuse to recognize the equivalent of 12 Vietnamese fishing occupations."></figure>Minister Nguyen Hong Dien sent a letter to Minister Howard Lutnick asking DOC and NOAA to reconsider their decision to refuse to recognize the equivalent of 12 Vietnamese fishing occupations.In his letter, Minister Nguyen Hong Dien also requested that the US consider fair treatment for Vietnamese shrimp exporters, who have been reliable partners in the US market, in the ongoing 19th administrative review of anti-dumping duties.

Resolute management for rapid and sustainable growthIn a race against time, Vietnam is accelerating efforts to stabilize the macroeconomy, control inflation, and achieve a bold growth target of 8.3-8.5% in 2025. The government insists that rapid growth must also be sustainable.At a recent cabinet meeting focused on economic goals, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized: "Vietnam aims for fast, but sustainable development." As the 2025 deadline approaches, the government is urgently addressing persistent challenges while preparing the groundwork for the next development phase. Ministries, sectors, and localities are fully mobilized to identify and resolve bottlenecks.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/15/gdp1-1737981098327780556610-10194329-15113148.jpg" alt="The Government takes urgent and drastic actions to maintain macroeconomic stability, control inflation, and aim for a growth target of 8.3 - 8.5% in 2025."></figure>The Government takes urgent and drastic actions to maintain macroeconomic stability, control inflation, and aim for a growth target of 8.3 - 8.5% in 2025.Following the August 2025 regular Government meeting, the Prime Minister immediately chaired another session on September 12 to reinforce the urgency of economic management. His leadership signals a consistent, high-speed approach: no delays, no hesitation.The government's economic strategy hinges on dual goals ensuring this year's growth targets while maintaining macroeconomic stability and curbing inflation. The Prime Minister reiterated a guiding principle: “Stability enables development, and development reinforces stability. Growth must be fast, but sustainable.” Far from being a slogan, this principle is the foundation for every policy decision. The 8.3-8.5% growth target is ambitious but reflects strong political will.Achieving these goals while maintaining inflation control and macroeconomic balance including budget, public debt, food and energy security, and trade balance demands synchronized and well-grounded policy coordination across all sectors.If Vietnam’s economy is a massive machine, policy coordination is the lubricant that keeps its gears moving smoothly. Only when ministries and provinces operate in harmony with clarity and accountability can economic momentum accelerate without overheating or losing control.Unlocking public investmentA key directive from the Prime Minister is better coordination between fiscal and monetary policy. Fiscal tools such as public investment and stimulus packages must be deployed more effectively to reduce pressure on interest and exchange rates. This supports both growth and inflation control.Monetary policy will prioritize risk management and ensure capital flows into productive sectors. The message is clear: speculative investment must give way to real economic drivers.Simultaneously, the Government is pushing for synchronized development of financial, real estate, stock, science, technology, and trade markets. Notably, Decree 232 on the gold market and Resolution 05 on piloting a crypto asset market show the government’s willingness to explore new mechanisms under tight regulatory control.Public investment disbursement is another top priority, with a 100% disbursement target by year-end. Removing procedural obstacles in key infrastructure projects is essential, as public investment acts as a catalyst for private, foreign, and societal capital. Well-built infrastructure roads, energy, logistics encourages businesses and investors to scale up.Here, the government plays the role of a resolute conductor, ensuring the economic orchestra stays in tune. Ministries and localities must think boldly, act decisively, and take responsibility to keep projects on track.Proactive governance in uncertain timesAmid rising global uncertainties from financial market turmoil to natural disasters and epidemics the Prime Minister urges all sectors to anticipate, adapt, and steer the economy with both firmness and flexibility. Economic management must be agile steady in direction but ready to swerve when needed.Mobilizing all available resources domestic and foreign, public and private, central and local is a central strategy to not only withstand external shocks but also seize global opportunities.The Prime Minister’s post-August meeting directives reflect urgency without recklessness. His approach blends decisive action with thoughtful evaluation, ensuring fast but sustainable progress. The challenge is great but so is the commitment. With strong coordination and a spirit of accountability from central to local levels, success remains within reach.Above all, each step forward today is laying a firm foundation for tomorrow, where economic growth is not only strong and stable but also serves the well-being of the people.<blockquote>In a recent economic forum, economist Dr. Nguyen Dinh Cung emphasized the need to create a transparent investment and business environment. He proposed that the government immediately identify and categorize long-standing legal obstacles facing businesses. At least 20 of the most pressing issues ranked by scope and impact should be resolved by the end of December 2025. This, he argued, would significantly improve the business climate and unlock growth potential.</blockquote>Kim Bui

Strategic push for energy securityOn the afternoon of September 8, 2025, <a href="https://ven.congthuong.vn/moit-leader-inspects-80-years-of-industry-and-trade-exhibition-57807.html">Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien</a>, a Central Party Committee member and Party Secretary of the ministry, convened a pivotal meeting at the ministry’s headquarters in Hanoi to drive the implementation of the two-part electricity tariff system.&nbsp;This initiative is seen as a cornerstone for Vietnam’s energy sector reforms, aimed at ensuring long-term energy security and fostering a competitive electricity market. The meeting brought together key stakeholders, including leaders from various ministry departments, independent consultants, representatives from the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN), and executives from regional power corporations, all focused on addressing the complexities of the new pricing mechanism.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/09/a6cfd8da503fdb61822e-15595556-11342724.jpg" alt="The Ministry of Industry and Trade meets on two-part electricity pricing."></figure>The Ministry of Industry and Trade meets on two-part electricity pricing.Minister Dien opened the session by referencing <a href="https://ven.congthuong.vn/resolution-70-unlocking-energy-investment-for-sustainable-growth-57869.html">Resolution No.70-NQ/TW</a>, issued on August 28, 2025, by Party General Secretary To Lam on behalf of the Politburo. This resolution outlines a comprehensive strategy to secure national energy security by 2030, with a vision extending to 2045.&nbsp;It assigns critical tasks to the Government, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), and other relevant agencies, emphasizing the need for transformative reforms in electricity pricing to support sustainable energy development. The resolution underscores the urgency of modernizing Vietnam’s energy sector to meet growing demand, enhance efficiency, and align with global standards. The Government has mandated the MoIT to draft a detailed resolution to operationalize these directives, with a submission deadline of October 20, 2025.<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/09/2442144842980532003-15595581-11350087.jpg" alt="Minister Nguyen Hong Dien speaks at the meeting."></figure>Minister Nguyen Hong Dien speaks at the meeting.In response to Resolution No.70’s announcement on September 2, Minister Dien acted swiftly, directing Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Long and relevant ministry units to organize a conference on September 3 to disseminate the resolution’s objectives. This conference, attended by representatives from major energy corporations, including EVN, focused on accelerating the adoption of the two-part electricity tariff as mandated by article 50 of the amended electricity law (2024) and Government Decree No.146/2025/NĐ-CP.&nbsp;The oil, gas, and coal department, in collaboration with the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Vietnam (ERAV), was tasked with gathering stakeholder feedback within 48 hours and finalizing a draft resolution for government review by October 18. This rapid response reflects the ministry’s commitment to meeting the ambitious timelines set by the Politburo and the Government.The two-part electricity tariff represents a significant shift from Vietnam’s current pricing model. Unlike the existing single-part tariff, which calculates costs based solely on electricity consumption, the new system incorporates charges for both registered capacity (the maximum power a customer reserves) and actual energy usage.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/09/dai-dien-don-vi-tu-van-bao-cao-16122745-11354268.jpg" alt="Representative of the consulting unit presents the report."></figure>Representative of the consulting unit presents the report.This dual structure aims to reflect the true cost of electricity supply, including infrastructure maintenance, grid operations, and power generation. The current tiered pricing system, while effective in encouraging conservation, primarily accounts for consumption volume and fails to address the fixed costs associated with maintaining power capacity for diverse customer groups. By introducing a capacity-based charge, the two-part tariff seeks to create a more equitable and transparent pricing framework that aligns with the operational realities of the power sector.The meeting served as a platform to evaluate the progress of the two-part tariff framework, ensuring alignment with the amended electricity law and Resolution No.70’s overarching goal of fostering a transparent, equitable, and competitive electricity market.&nbsp;Nguyen Anh Tuan, the EVN’s General Director, delivered a comprehensive presentation on the development of the two-part tariff mechanism. He outlined the research process, proposed implementation conditions, and a phased roadmap for adoption. The EVN recommended initially applying the tariff to large industrial customers with monthly consumption of 200,000kWh or higher, connected at voltage levels of 22kV or above, who are eligible for direct power purchase agreements (DPPA) under Decree No.146/2025/NĐ-CP.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://img-ven.congthuong.vn/resize/th/upload/2025/09/09/34e664b5d950520e0b41-16001900-11362137.jpg" alt="Nguyen Anh Tuan, General Director of EVN delivers a report."></figure>Nguyen Anh Tuan, General Director of EVN delivers a report.This targeted approach prioritizes high-consumption industrial users, such as manufacturing and heavy industry, to test the mechanism before broader application. Residential customers were excluded from the initial phase due to the significant investment required to upgrade metering infrastructure across millions of households.The transition to a two-part tariff is designed to ensure fair cost recovery for the power sector, encompassing both fixed costs (e.g., transmission and distribution infrastructure) and variable costs (e.g., electricity generation). This approach promotes transparency by clearly delineating the costs associated with maintaining a reliable power supply, ensuring that customers who reserve significant capacity but underutilize it contribute fairly to grid maintenance. As this pricing model is unprecedented in Vietnam, it necessitates rigorous research, stakeholder consultation, and impact assessments to mitigate potential challenges and ensure a smooth rollout.Implementation roadmapDuring the meeting, representatives from ministry units, independent consultants, and regional power corporations provided detailed input on critical aspects of the two-part tariff framework, including its legal foundation, target customer segments, and strategies for public communication.&nbsp;A key focus was the need for robust outreach to educate consumers about the new pricing mechanism, enabling them to understand its implications and adjust their electricity usage accordingly. Transparent communication is essential to build trust and ensure that customers, particularly large industrial users, can manage their energy consumption effectively under the new system.Nguyen Anh Tuan’s presentation highlighted the EVN’s efforts to develop a scientifically grounded and practical framework for the two-part tariff. The proposed mechanism includes a clear methodology for calculating capacity and energy charges, tailored to the technical and operational requirements of different customer groups.&nbsp;The EVN’s initial focus on large industrial consumers reflects a strategic decision to pilot the tariff with users who have the technical capacity to adapt, such as those already participating in direct power purchase agreements. This phased approach allows the power sector to refine the system before expanding it to other customer segments, such as commercial or smaller industrial users.Minister Dien, in his concluding remarks, emphasized the consensus among stakeholders on the urgent need to implement the two-part tariff by January 1, 2026, starting with large-scale consumers. He commended the EVN and ministry units for their proactive efforts in developing the framework and preparing the necessary infrastructure. To ensure a successful rollout, the Minister outlined five critical tasks:1. The Electricity Regulatory Authority, in coordination with the EVN, must refine the two-part tariff proposal scientifically, incorporating global best practices, and submit it to ministry leadership and relevant authorities by October 15, 2025, accompanied by a comprehensive impact assessment.2. The Authority, alongside the EVN, will review and propose amendments to decision no. 14/2025/QĐ-TTg on retail tariff structures, ensuring compliance with current laws and practical implementation. Simultaneously, circular 16 must be revised to establish pricing guidelines, with EVN leading the development of a transparent cost-calculation methodology.3. The EVN will advise the government (or the Minister) on selecting eligible customer groups, develop transparent operational software by October 20, 2025, and adhere to the electricity Law, resolution 70, and upcoming decrees. Initially, the tariff will apply to large consumers, with dual billing (current and two-part tariffs) until December 31 to facilitate customer adjustment.4. The EVN must engage consultants to build transparent management software by October 20, 2025.5. From September 15, a comprehensive communication plan will be developed, highlighting the electricity law, resolution 70, the draft government resolution, and regional/international tariff comparisons. Initial implementation will target large consumers, with future expansions ensuring fairness through peak and off-peak pricing.“We cannot afford to hesitate. This is the collective will of the energy sector. With a robust political and legal foundation, our task now is to act decisively,” Minister Dien declared. He urged media outlets to partner with the MoIT in disseminating accurate information about the two-part tariff, emphasizing its necessity and benefits to help customers adapt to the new pricing structure.International experience demonstrates that two-part tariffs are widely adopted across the region and globally, encouraging efficient electricity use, optimizing load factors, and reducing the need for costly grid expansions. By charging for reserved capacity, the tariff ensures that customers who underutilize their allocated power contribute to infrastructure costs, promoting fairness and sustainability.&nbsp;Dr Nguyen Huy Hoach, an energy expert from the Vietnam Energy Institute, described the two-part tariff as a transformative policy, noting its widespread adoption among industrial consumers globally.&nbsp;Similarly, Ngo Duc Lam, former Deputy Director of the institute, emphasized that aligning pricing with market principles, as mandated by the amended electricity law and recent decrees, is essential for building a competitive electricity market. Without the two-part tariff, initiatives like direct power purchase agreements would face significant hurdles, underscoring the urgency of its implementation.The MoIT’s proactive approach and the EVN’s technical preparations signal Vietnam’s commitment to modernizing its energy sector, ensuring energy security, and fostering a transparent and equitable electricity market. As the country moves toward 2030, the two-part tariff will play a pivotal role in balancing supply and demand, encouraging efficient energy use, and supporting Vietnam’s sustainable development goals.Nguyen Hang

He called on the National Assembly to continue improving the legal framework in favor of innovating education and training; the Government to boost investment in education and training.The education sector itself, he said, must pioneer in reforming mindset and governance while teachers need to inspire students, and students, in turn, should nurture ambition and aspiration, and learn to become global citizens who meet international standards while preserving Vietnamese identity.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:777px;"><img src="https://bcp.cdnchinhphu.vn/thumb_w/640/344443456812359680/2025/9/5/c8f84243-e323-4fe1-b301-ced155-1282-5052-1757042975-1-1757066357108114628373.jpg" alt="Party chief outlines key tasks for building a modern education system- Ảnh 2."></figure>General Secretary To Lam beats the drum to kick start the 2025-2026 accademic yearTo drive success in this new phase, the Party chief outlined a shift from incremental tweaks to a bold, nation-building strategy, with quality, equity, integration, and efficiency as guiding principles. Strict discipline in execution was highlighted, alongside ensuring equal access to education to boost literacy nationwide. Priority must be given to remote, border, island, and disadvantaged areas through increased investment in schools, teacher training, student nutrition, and digital infrastructure, ensuring no child is left behind.He underlined that general education must go beyond knowledge transfer to shape character, foster physical and emotional development, and instill civic responsibility and discipline. The goal is to cultivate a generation that is "talented, compassionate, and resilient," while achieving universal secondary education as soon as possible.For higher education and vocational training, he called for transformation into hubs of knowledge creation, technology transfer, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Viet Nam, he stressed, should build universities of regional and global standing and modern vocational institutions to produce a skilled workforce for science, technology, industrialization, and digital transformation.The Party chief also urged stronger international integration in education through joint training programs, credit recognition, academic exchanges, and attracting international scholars.He welcomed the adoption of the Law on Teachers, which improves teachers' living conditions and ensure their rights while raising professional standards, ethics, and social status.Calling for accelerated digital transformation and application of AI in education, he described investment in education as an investment in the nation's future. He stressed efficient public spending, stronger public–private partnerships, and mobilization of social resources, alongside building a lifelong learning society as the foundation for a self-reliant nation.The Party chief also encouraged students students to set clear goals, practice self-discipline in learning, nurture curiosity, and strengthen their capacity to master digital technology and AI in a smart, safe, and humane way. He urged them to live with love, responsibility, and a sense of community, stating that every step forward of students is the future of the country.The Politburo has recently issued Resolution No. 71 on breakthroughs in education and training.

Over the past five decades, Viet Nam and UNDP have worked together to support the country's development. From post-war recovery to the transformative Doi Moi reforms, from lifting millions out of poverty to expanding access to education and healthcare - Viet Nam's human development story is one of sheer grit and perseverance.Towards quality growthViet Nam is on the cusp of upper middle-income status. But the real question, as we look toward 2045 and the centenary - is not just how fast its economy will grow, but how well it will grow. The next chapter must be about quality growth: growth that is resilient to shocks; green in its footprint; and fair in its reach.Viet Nam's planning already reflects this with commitments to productivity growth across multiple sectors, to renewable energy, a more circular economy, and to closing regional gaps. It is about preparing a future ready workforce and ensuring that many more are lifted to a higher level of well-being.But this transformation is unfolding in a world shaped by AI, automation, shifting trade dynamics, and the impacts of climate change – at a stage where Viet Nam faces the demographic challenges of an ageing population, while the fiscal space to expand healthcare and social protection for all in the "silver age" is still too narrow. This calls for smart planning and inclusive policies that go beyond the economic metrics and calculus.Three strategic shifts towards quality growthViet Nam can pivot from a capital and labor-intensive growth model to one powered by innovation, technology, and skills. The dual goals of economic progress and environmental protection demand new capabilities and an adaptive workforce, Investments in education and reskilling will need to expand, with current R&amp;D spending at just 0.2 percent of GDP, there is need for a major push. Public-private partnerships and international collaboration will be key to move to this new growth model.With a net-zero target by 2050 and its role in the Just Energy Transition Partnership, Viet Nam is stepping up. But transitions can be disruptive. Policies must ensure that green jobs are accessible, retraining is available, and vulnerable communities are supported. This is not just about economic growth with environmental sustainability, it is also about social justice. And specifically so, given an ageing population.Capable responsive institutions, especially at the local level, are essential for delivering quality public services. Viet Nam's shift to a two-tier government structure offers both opportunities and challenges. Proximity to communities enables reach and a deeper understanding of citizen needs, but it also places greater responsibility on the capabilities of local authorities. Investing in public institutions – through digital tools, data systems, and adaptive service models -- will also call on governance mechanisms to be responsive to deliver development efficiency.Walking together along the centenary pathViet Nam's innovations in digital public services, disaster risk reduction, community-driven development, and renewable energy are already inspiring the world. UNDP is committed to amplifying these lessons and it is encouraging and inspiring to hear Viet Nam's voice on the global stage in support of multilaterism.As both the UN and Viet Nam enter these octogenarian years, we are reminded that peace and progress are shared values and endeavors. The choices made today will shape not just Viet Nam's centenary, but the future of the region. The world needs this story./.

The large Vietnamese community in South Korea and the Korean community in Viet Nam, along with many multicultural families, have helped strengthen bilateral friendship. This, he said, provides a strong foundation for businesses of both countries to expand cooperation and investment.Pham applauded the efforts, determination and business performance of Samsung Group in general and Samsung Viet Nam in particular, which have contributed to the country's socio-economic development, as well as to the cooperation and friendship between the two countries.In reply, Roh thanked the Vietnamese leader for the warm welcome, noting that his visit coincided with the 80th anniversaries of National Day of both Viet Nam and South Korea.He said Samsung's total investment in Viet Nam had reached US$23.2 billion by 2024, covering multiple areas including electronics, display, and electrical devices, with plans for further expansion.By the end of June 2025, Samsung's mobile phone factories in Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyen provinces produced 2 billion handsets since operations began in April 2009. In the first six months of this year, Samsung Viet Nam recorded US$31.8 billion in revenue, including US$28 billion in exports. Its latest flagship, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, produced in Viet Nam and launched in July, has received strong response globally, particularly in the U.S. and Europe.Roh expressed deep gratitude for the consistent support from the Vietnamese Government and local authorities. He praised the dedication of 90,000 Vietnamese employees working at Samsung and reaffirmed the company's long-term commitment to accompanying Viet Nam in its development journey.Since 2015, Samsung has carried out a range of initiatives to aid Viet Nam's supporting industries. In early 2025, Samsung Viet Nam and its parent group set up a rapid response team to strengthen supplier search and evaluation, while offering smart factory consulting to help potential partners improve competitiveness and develop production experts.At the meeting, Pham also signed a commemorative plaque marking Samsung's 2 billionth mobile phone produced in Viet Nam./.VGP

Photo: VNAOn political aspect, General Secretary To Lam initiated the streamlining Viet Nam's political system. This involved reducing a bloated bureaucracy, merging government and administrative units, and disbanding overlapping structures in the Communist Party of Viet Nam, the Government, National Assembly, People's Courts and People's Procuracies, and the Viet Nam Fatherland Front and its affiliated organizations.The most significant change was to restructure the local administration system from a three-tiered to a two-tiered system by eliminating the district level, merging communes, and reducing the number of provinces from sixty-three to thirty-four, Thayer told VGP via email.On economic front, Viet Nam's economy rebounded from a relatively slow GDP growth rate of 5.1 per cent in 2023 to 7.1 per cent in 2024. GDP growth rose to 7.5 percent in the first half of 2025 despite the disruptions to global trade caused by President Donald Trump's imposition of across-the-board tariffs.Viet Nam appeared to have negotiated a favourable "free and fair trade framework agreement" with the US with tariffs set for most goods at 20 per cent and 40 per cent for goods transshipped from a third country.General Secretary To Lam set a target of 8 per cent GDP growth in 2025 and double digit growth in the following years.Regarding diplomatic front, Viet Nam scored remarkable success in diplomacy over the past year by raising relations with six countries – France, Malaysia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand – to comprehensive strategic partnerships.Significance of such changes in current global context?Thayer said Viet Nam's GDP growth rate over the last year made it one of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia. Viet Nam's maintenance of macro-economic and political stability have made it an attractive destination for foreign investment. In other words, Viet Nam's exports and a steady flow of foreign investment have been the principal drivers of economic growth.The Australian professor said Viet Nam's international competitiveness should be enhanced if its restructured political system successfully overcomes the "three bottlenecks" of institutions, infrastructure, human resources and becomes more efficient and productive through digital transformation. He emphasized that this will assist Viet Nam in meeting the goals set by the Thirteenth National Congress in 2021 of "becoming a developing country with a modern industry and high-middle income by 2030 and a developed country with high income by 2045."Viet Nam's economic success will enhance its ability to retain its independence and strategic autonomy, Thayer noted.Role of comprehensive strategic partnership/strategic partnership with major powersThayer said Viet Nam's network of strategic and comprehensive strategic partnerships with major powers is a key component of To Lam's "four pillars" to support Viet Nam's rise in the new era as his third pillar is Resolution No. 59-NQ/TW On International Integration in the New Situation (January 2025).The other three pillars have a domestic focus: Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW On Science, Technology, Innovation and National Digital Transformation (December 2024), Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW On Law-Making and Enforcement (April 2025), and Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW On Private Sector Economic Development (May 2025).Viet Nam currently has a network of thirty-five comprehensive, strategic and comprehensive strategic partnerships that reflect its high standing in the international community.The country has thirteen comprehensive strategic partnerships including four of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – China, France, Russia and the United States. The others are India, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.Viet Nam's network of strategic and comprehensive strategic partnerships are valuable to Viet Nam for two major reasons. First, they provide a conduit for political influence through the exchange of high-level delegations. Second, this network of strategic and comprehensive strategic partnerships serves to build interdependence across the spectrum of bilateral relations promoting cooperation in diplomacy, economy, energy, science and technology, innovation, education, human resource training, sports, tourism and people-to-people exchanges./.

Australian professor Carlyle Thayer has reflected on major developments in Viet Nam since To Lam become General Secretary of the Communist Part of Viet Nam Central Committee in August 2024.
