Photo: VGP/Nhat BacIn the morning, the Prime Minister visited the starting point of the first sub-project of the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway, located in Chau Doc Commune, An Giang Province.At the construction site, he praised the Party committees, local authorities, and residents of An Giang for resolving challenges and advancing the project ahead of schedule. He also commended the project management unit and particularly the contractors, including Truong Son Construction Corporation, for embodying the government’s directive by maintaining round-the-clock work shifts, including weekends and holidays, under all weather conditions to accelerate progress. Truong Son Corporation reported that the site currently operates 19 work fronts with approximately 240 staff and workers and 116 machines and vehicles.Although the official completion date is set for June 2026, this sub-project is considered the most favorable among the four sub-projects of the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway, particularly due to An Giang’s proactive sourcing of sand, gravel, and stone materials. Therefore, the Prime Minister directed that construction be accelerated to ensure completion no later than December 19, 2025.Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also approved in principle the investment in two new roads connecting to the international border gates of Tinh Bien and Khanh Binh in An Giang, linking them with the starting point of the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang expressway. He assigned the Ministry of Finance to allocate funding support for the province.The Prime Minister called on local Party committees, authorities, and the people of An Giang to continue supporting the engineers and workers both materially and spiritually, stressing: "No engineer or worker should feel alone on the construction site”.In the afternoon, the Prime Minister inspected the first sub-project of the Cao Lanh - An Huu expressway in Dong Thap Province, particularly at the junction connecting the first and second sub-projects.At the site, he instructed stakeholders to further shorten the timeline and strive to complete and open the first sub-project of the Cao Lanh - An Huu expressway by December 19, 2025, and the second sub-project by April 30, 2026. He also emphasized the need to invest in fully completing four express lanes, rather than the current limited four-lane setup.Regarding the funding needed for early completion, the Ministry of Finance was tasked with finalizing procedures to seek approval from relevant authorities to allocate capital. Meanwhile, related agencies were instructed to prevent corruption, misconduct, or waste.The Prime Minister also directed provinces with rock quarries (such as An Giang) to adjust their extraction capacity and prioritize supplying materials for the project. Contractors were urged to increase manpower and equipment, working in three shifts with four crews per day to accelerate construction.Alongside the push for speed, the Prime Minister underscored the importance of ensuring quality, engineering standards, aesthetics, safety, and environmental sanitation across all projects. “If anything is needed or lacking, it must be reported immediately”, he concluded.Le An

It also scores above the global average in indicators such as interest in AI, comfort in using AI, and perceived usefulness of AI.These figures reflect the rapid growth of digital trust in Vietnamese society, a key factor in maintaining the country's position in the global top 10 for AI.While this openness toward AI is a strong point, actual usage remains modest, with a score of just 37.6 points, placing Viet Nam 17th out of 40 countries.Data shows that around 60 percent of people in the four major cities have used AI technologies, but only 3 percent use them daily.According to analysis by Indochina Research, the 18–34 age group, especially in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City, is the most active user segment of AI. In these two major urban centers, 89 percent of respondents aged 18–24 in Ha Noi and 87 percent in Ho Chi Minh City reported having proactively used AI technology.In contrast, residents of Da Nang and Can Tho show significantly lower usage rates, highlighting a digital access gap between major urban centers and secondary cities—particularly among older age groups. For instance, only one among 10 people aged 55–64 in Da Nang have ever interacted with AI technology.A report released by the National Innovation Centre (NIC) showed that AI could add US$120–130 billion to Viet Nam's economy by 2040.By 2040, AI will become a core factor of Viet Nam's economic growth. The two main growth drivers that will help AI make a major contribution to the economy by 2040 are consumption revenue (US$45–55 billion) through the consumption of AI-powered products and services and the US$60–70 billion in costs saved due to increased productivity thanks to technology application./.

Viet Nam has recently made a strong impression on the global artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, ranking 6th out of 40 countries, according to the 2025 Global AI Index released by the Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research (WIN).

From oil and gas pillar to energy transition pioneer“The world is changing around us”. With that opening statement, Charlotte Wolff-Bye, Vice President of Sustainability at Petronas, the Malaysian state-owned oil and gas giant, took her audience on a journey into how the company is reimagining itself for a greener future in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.Her remarks were part of a media exchange on the afternoon of June 15, bringing together Petronas leaders, scientists, and journalists from across Asia, including Vietnam, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, and Japan. Beyond a platform for sharing information, the event reaffirmed Petronas’ commitment to sustainable development through a comprehensive energy transition strategy for the region.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.orangemedia.com.vn/images/Screenshot_2_20250710014812.png"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Charlotte Wolff-Bye, Vice President of Sustainability at Petronas.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Citing the Paris Agreement, endorsed by over 195 nations at the UN Climate Conference in France, Wolff-Bye noted that since then, tens of thousands of scientific studies have drawn increasingly clear connections between global energy systems and climate change. This reality, she said, presents both a formidable challenge and a historic opportunity for companies in the energy sector.In response to mounting international pressure and domestic expectations, Petronas has devised a green strategy based on three core pillars: enhancing its core business, expanding into new energy sectors, and realizing its net-zero ambition by 2050. The roadmap is designed not only to adapt to global shifts but also to secure long-term economic value and maintain the company’s strategic position.Rather than abandoning oil and gas, Petronas is focusing on natural gas, a lower-emission alternative to coal and oil. Today, gas accounts for roughly two-thirds of the group’s energy portfolio. According to Wolff-Bye, natural gas ensures energy security at home while serving as a key transitional fuel in decarbonization efforts across developing nations. Revenues from gas also allow Petronas to reinvest in clean energy and emerging technologies without compromising financial performance.A major turning point in its transition has been the group’s strategic move into six new business areas: renewables, hydrogen, biofuels, specialty chemicals, green mobility, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). Each of these segments is approached methodically, with clear commercialization goals in the medium to long term.Among them, biofuels, especially sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) stand out. Petronas is building its first biorefinery in Pengerang, slated for completion by the end of 2028. The facility will produce SAF, hydrotreated vegetable oil, and bio-LNG. The company is also working with global partners to secure feedstock and strengthen the supply chain.Beyond product innovation, Petronas is transforming its value chain and operating model. In motorsports, the group now supplies biofuels to the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team for European circuits. But, as Wolff-Bye emphasized, “We’re not doing this just for F1. The goal is to commercialize SAF for widespread use”. To this end, the company is testing and refining its fuels to meet Formula 1’s new sustainability requirement, 100% sustainable fuel use from 2026 onward.Petronas is also investing heavily in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, scaling up solar projects, and actively engaging in the promising hydrogen market. Its approach goes beyond the development of green energy products, it involves a fundamental reconfiguration of the entire enterprise to align with the future energy paradigm.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/062025/23/15/mercedes-1650066420250623155442.jpg?rt=20250623160241" alt="The Mercedes-AMG Formula One car, fueled by Petronas."></figure></td></tr><tr><td>The Mercedes-AMG Formula One car, fueled by Petronas.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>A key component of Petronas’s net-zero strategy is CCS technology, not only to manage its own emissions but also as a commercial service. The company envisions becoming a regional carbon storage hub.“We sell LNG to customers and take back CO2 for processing. That’s the circular economy model we’re piloting in several countries”, Wolff-Bye shared.A catalyst for bold moves by Vietnam’s key enterprisesVietnam, one of Asia’s fastest-growing energy markets, has also made a strong net-zero commitment by 2050. With rising electricity demand and mounting global obligations, the role of influential state-owned and private enterprises is more crucial than ever.At the center of Vietnam’s traditional energy ecosystem is the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (Petrovietnam), which possesses the scale, technical expertise, and financial capacity to lead the country’s energy transition. Rather than phasing out fossil fuel operations, Vietnamese firms could look to the Petronas model, enhancing efficiency, cutting emissions, and progressively shifting toward natural gas and LNG as transitional and strategic solutions.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/062025/23/15/gen-h-z6707570857219529a398fc3d6c9016ee2c022ab9f1420-1650246120250623155440.jpg?rt=20250623160340" alt="An exchange session between Petronas leaders, scientists, and journalists from various Asian countries.

With a rich agricultural base, abundant biomass byproducts, and advantageous geographic location, the country is well-positioned to develop a biorefinery project similar to Pengerang. Paired with key airports like Long Thanh, Chu Lai, or Can Tho, Vietnam could supply domestic SAF demand and eventually move into export markets.In carbon capture and storage, depleted offshore gas fields offer promising storage opportunities for CO₂, supporting both domestic industries and international clients. In fact, in 2024, the PetroVietnam Exploration Production Corporation (PVEP) outlined various emission reduction initiatives, including optimizing existing assets, expanding renewable energy, adopting low-carbon technologies, and forestation to offset emissions.Among these, CCS technology is a long-term priority for PVEP. It enables the capture and permanent storage of CO₂ emissions underground. Over 30 offshore oil and gas fields in Vietnam have already been identified as potential CO₂ reservoirs.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Meanwhile, the private sector has an equally pivotal role. Vingroup, with its expanding ecosystem spanning electric vehicle production and green real estate, could become a key integrator of sustainable energy.

Making growth more inclusive requires well-coordinated reforms to expand non-contributory social assistance benefits while maintaining strong incentives for formal job creation.Viet Nam is strongly affected by climate change and has committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Reducing emissions from electricity generation by phasing out coal-fired plants and accelerating the rollout of renewable energy sources will sustain more sustainable growth.Foreign-owned firms have been a driver of growth but have developed few supplier links to local firms. More investment in tertiary education, stronger competition in services sectors and a more even playing field between private and state-owned companies could boost productivity growth, told the report.Alongside the organization's Multidimensional Review of Viet Nam in 2020, the reports for 2023 and 2025 serve as objective and valuable reference sources for strategic and policy planners, researchers, and managers in both the public and private sectors of Viet Nam, as well as the country's development partners.These reports are also useful for reviewing the implementation of the 2021–2025 Socio-Economic Development Plan and for continuing the implementation of the 2021–2030 Socio-Economic Development Strategy.In a congratulatory message to the event, OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann praised Viet Nam's socio-economic development achievements, including its rapid economic growth, deep integration into the global economy, and significant progress in poverty reduction. The OECD leader reaffirmed his support and commitment to continuing to assist Viet Nam in achieving its high growth targets./.

A strong driving force for rural industrial productionThe province of Hung Yen is currently home to around 17,000 rural industrial production establishments, over 100 traditional craft villages and craft villages, providing employment for more than 60,000 rural workers. In recent years, the province has proactively reviewed its current status and development needs to propose and implement effective solutions to support enterprises and production facilities in addressing existing challenges.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/052025/27/17/anh-hung-yen20250527172924.jpg?rt=20250527172926" alt="Produced at Halo Mold Tech Co., Ltd.

Photo: Halo Mold Tech</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>According to Vu Quang Thang, Director of the Hung Yen Department of Industry and Trade, the province has implemented various programs and initiatives under its industrial promotion policy. These efforts have provided support to hundreds of enterprises producing key goods in value chain linkage with farmers in the processing of agricultural, forestry, and aquatic products. The support has helped them to upgrade technologies, apply scientific and technical advances, improve product quality to meet technical standards, build brands, gain credibility, and expand markets both domestically and internationally.One exemplary case is Vy Dung Trading and Production Co., Ltd. in Kim Dong District. Previously, the company relied on outdated machinery. With support from the Hung Yen Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion, the company was able to purchase new equipment, renovate its production system, and significantly improve efficiency and product precision.“We hope that authorities at all levels in Hung Yen will continue to provide greater support for mechanical enterprises like ours so that we can grow stronger, create more jobs for local people, and expand our reach and integration,” said Tran Van Vy, Director of Vy Dung Trading and Production Co., Ltd.Other examples of effective support include Viet Bach Food Co., Ltd. in An Thi District, which received funding to install two spiral mixers and an automatic packaging machine for food processing; Halo Mold Tech Co., Ltd. in Yen My District, supported to acquire a Hankook EDM CNC drilling machine for mechanical processing; and Minh Tien Agricultural Cooperative in Phu Cu District, which received support to apply a drying cabinet for longan processing. After being put into operation, the new machinery and equipment helped the businesses and cooperatives improve both productivity and product quality.Priority allocation of financial resourcesTo ensure industrial promotion serves as a strong driver of rural industrial development, Hung Yen has consistently allocated substantial resources to this effort in recent years. Annually, the province sets aside approximately VND 4 billion to support activities under the Industrial Promotion Program for the 2021–2025 period.This funding has helped many rural industrial establishments invest in expanding production scale, upgrading technology, and applying scientific advances to improve productivity, product quality, and competitiveness. Additionally, the funding has enhanced management capacity and encouraged businesses to actively engage in international economic integration, while also contributed to strengthening rural infrastructure and promoting rural development and industrialization.In 2025, the Hung Yen Provincial People’s Council issued Resolution No. 553/2025/NQ-HDND dated February 18, 2025, on the spending norms for industrial promotion activities in the province.Regarding support for the application of advanced machinery in production, the province allocates funding for model forums to disseminate new technologies and new product development. The support level is capped at 30% of the total cost, but not exceeding VND 1 billion per model.Support for high-performing rural industrial establishments that serve as good examples for replication is capped at VND 100 million per model.Funding for pilot models applying cleaner production methods in industrial activities is capped at 30% of the total cost, with a maximum of VND 500 million per model.Support for the application of advanced machinery and equipment, technology transfer, and application of scientific and technological advances in industrial and handicraft production is capped at 50% of the total cost, but not exceeding VND 300 million per establishment. In cases where only technological lines are supported, the support level shall not exceed 1.5 times the cap applied to advanced machinery and equipment support.Compared to many other localities, Hung Yen's maximum support levels for industrial promotion activities are relatively high. This reflects both the effectiveness of industrial promotion efforts in recent years and the province's strong commitment to further promoting these activities. It also demonstrates Hung Yen’s close attention to the industrial promotion sector in particular and rural industry in general.Hai Linh

The application of new policies in production has enabled enterprises and rural industrial establishments in Hung Yen Province to improve productivity and confidently compete in the market.
