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. (Yen My district). Photo: Halo Mold Tech"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Production at Halo Mold Tech Co., Ltd. (Yen My district, Hung Yen district). 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 Previously, the company relied on outdated machinery.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.

Public investment must be managed more effectively, focusing on both scale and quality, from project selection to implementation and monitoring. International experiences show that countries which escape the middle-income trap and transition to high-income status consistently improve the quality of their institutions.The second report highlights that climate adaptation investment is key to minimizing weather-related risks to Viet Nam's agriculture, businesses, and industrial infrastructure.A 2024 WB survey finds that 75 percent of businesses in Viet Nam's major export sectors such as garments and electronics are operating in areas frequently exposed to extreme heat, putting 1.3 million workers in vulnerable conditions.Without timely adaptation measures, climate change could cost Viet Nam up to 12.5 percent of GDP by 2050, compared to baseline scenarios, and this therefore would pose a serious threat to Viet Nam's goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045.In response to the growing threat of climate change,&nbsp; Viet Nam must act now to safeguard land, communities, and infrastructure from climate-induced shocks.WB recommended that Viet Nam begin implementing early adaptation measures, underlining the importance of creating supportive mechanisms and policies that encourage both businesses and citizens to actively respond to climate risks. Moreover, climate risk management should be mainstreamed across all sectors of the economy to ensure a resilient and sustainable development trajectory.According to World Bank calculations, strategic adaptation investments could cut climate-induced GDP losses by nearly half, from 12.5 percent down to 6.7 percent by 2050./.

Viet Nam can fully materialize its goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045 if the country is committed to pursuing two strategic drivers - institutional reform and green development, according to the World Bank (WB).

It reflects the State’s strong commitment to fostering a transparent, business-friendly environment that lays the groundwork for sustainable development and deeper global integration.Resolution 198/2025/QH15 marks a profound shift in the government’s policy mindset toward the private sector. Once viewed primarily as a supplementary component, this sector is now recognized as a key pillar of Vietnam’s market economy.To turn this vision into reality, tax policy has been designated as a catalytic tool—relieving cost burdens, boosting capital accumulation, enhancing technological innovation, and supporting business expansion.A notable highlight of the Resolution is the policy to reduce land rental fees by at least 30% for the first five years for high-tech enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and innovative startups operating in industrial zones, clusters, and technology incubators. This move aims to ease initial financial pressures, enabling companies to scale up operations, invest in equipment, and increase productivity.The exemption of business license fees starting from January 1, 2026, along with the waiver of fees related to the issuance and renewal of official documents during government restructuring processes, also contributes to lowering unofficial business costs. These are practical reforms that simplify administrative procedures, allowing businesses to focus resources on core production and commercial activities.Particularly noteworthy are the breakthrough tax incentives for innovative enterprises—those expected to lead Vietnam’s digital economy and technological transformation. Innovative startups and their supporting organizations are granted full corporate income tax exemptions for the first two years, followed by a 50% tax reduction over the next four years on income derived from innovative startup activities.Additionally, income from the transfer of shares or capital contributions by innovative startups is exempt from both personal and corporate income tax. This measure creates a favorable mechanism to attract investment and strengthen the financial capacity of startups.The Resolution also includes tax incentives for experts and scientists working at startups, research centers, and innovation hubs: Two years of personal income tax exemption, followed by a 50% reduction for the next four years. This is a crucial incentive for attracting top-tier talent and specialists, thereby boosting R&amp;D capabilities and accelerating the commercialization of high-tech products.Another bright spot in the Resolution is the provision allowing businesses to allocate up to 20% of taxable income to funds dedicated to science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation. Furthermore, companies are permitted to count 200% of R&amp;D expenses as deductible when calculating corporate income tax. This serves as a powerful incentive for enterprises to ramp up investment in R&amp;D, create high-value-added products and technologies, and improve global competitiveness.Moreover, the State will support micro and small enterprises, as well as individual business households, by providing free access to digital platforms, shared accounting software, and consulting services in legal, tax, accounting, and human resources. These supports not only reduce management costs but also improve internal governance and accelerate digital transformation.Dinh Tuan

Resolution 198/2025/QH15 is not only a financial stimulus but a long-term strategic roadmap that positions the private sector at the heart of Vietnam’s innovation-driven growth.

(Photo: daibieunhandan.vn)</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Howecer, Deputy Ta Dinh Thi proposed that the chemical industry should be added to the list of sectors eligible for corporate income tax incentives, as specified in Clause 2, Article 12 of the draft legislation.He provided three main reasons for this proposed amendment:Firstly, according to the National Assembly Standing Committee’s explanatory report No. 1275 dated May 7 regarding the amended Law on Chemicals, there is already consensus to include relevant provisions in the draft Law on Corporate Income Tax. This reflects an intention to integrate legal frameworks in a cohesive manner.Secondly, the chemical industry plays a foundational role in Vietnam’s industrialization, modernization, and national security. This has been clearly emphasized in the country’s 2021–2030 socio-economic development strategy, as well as in Resolution 29, issued on November 17, 2022, by the 6th Plenum of the 13th Party Central Committee.The resolution designates the chemical sector as a key and foundational industry that should be prioritized for development. However, the current draft law does not adequately reflect this priority.Thirdly, under the Investment Law—specifically Clause 3, Article 20—special incentive levels and their durations are governed by the Corporate Income Tax Law and land legislation. Yet, the draft law’s list of sectors eligible for tax incentives does not include the chemical industry, creating a policy gap.To address this inconsistency, Deputy Thi urged lawmakers to add the chemical industry to the list of sectors qualifying for tax incentives. This, he argued, would ensure policy alignment and coherence with the country’s broader socio-economic development goals.Thu Huong

It continues to be one of the best performers, having remained in the top five for an impressive 12 consecutive years. Key improvements in Quang Ninh were observed in land access, transparency, fair competition, workforce training, and institutional quality.Rounding out the top five were Long An, Bac Giang, and Ba Ria – Vung Tau. Other localities including Hue, Hau Giang, Phu Tho, Dong Thap, and Hung Yen were also in the Top 10.&nbsp;Meanwhile, centrally-run cities—Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Hue, Da Nang, and Can Tho—were placed among the top 30 provinces and cities for overall governance quality. Each of these cities saw improvements in their PCI scores compared to 2023, although the pace of progress varied.The PCI measures economic governance and administrative reform efforts across Viet Nam's provinces and cities, drawing from a survey of nearly 11,000 businesses nationwide.<h4 style="text-align:justify;"><a href="https://en.baochinhphu.vn/quang-ninh-retains-top-position-in-viet-nam-pci-rankings-2022-111230411160528064.htm">Quang Ninh retains top position in Viet Nam PCI rankings 2022</a></h4><h4 style="text-align:justify;"><a href="https://en.baochinhphu.vn/quang-ninh-leads-pci-rankings-for-4th-consecutive-year-11140892.htm">Quang Ninh Leads PCI Rankings for 4th Consecutive Year</a></h4><h4 style="text-align:justify;"><a href="https://en.baochinhphu.vn/quang-ninh-maintains-top-position-in-2018-pci-ranking-11134797.htm">Quang Ninh maintains top position in 2018 PCI ranking</a></h4>The 2024 PCI also comes at a time of structural transition in Viet Nam's local administration system.&nbsp;This is the final PCI edition that will include all 63 provinces and cities in their current form. Under Government Resolution 74 and Central Committee Resolution 60, several provinces are expected to undergo administrative mergers to create 34 larger provincial-level units.VCCI said that the performance gap in PCI scores between some of the merging localities underscores the need to harmonize governance quality as the new units are formed. Bridging these gaps will be essential to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the momentum in business climate reform.However, the 2024 PCI also highlights areas where many provinces continue to struggle. Land access, high compliance costs, and a decline in local government dynamism remain key concerns for the private sector."As Viet Nam targets an ambitious GDP growth rate of 8 percent in 2025 and double-digit growth beyond that, sustaining high-quality local governance plays the decisive role," said VCCI.VCCI also underlined the importance of improving the business environment for Viet Nam to stand by other leading economies in in the region and the world./.

Honoring past, building futureApril 30, 1975 marked the culmination of decades of arduous struggle and sacrifice by the entire nation. As noted in the Political Report presented at the 4th National Congress of the Communist Party in December 1976, this was a victory forever inscribed in the nation’s history as one of its most glorious chapters, a shining symbol of revolutionary heroism and human wisdom. It also entered world history as one of the greatest triumphs of the 20th century, a globally significant and epoch-making event.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/042025/21/16/420250421162933.jpg?rt=20250421162937" alt="Vietnam continues to stride firmly on the path of reform and progress"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Vietnam continues to stride firmly on the path of reform and progress</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>During the painful yet heroic years of war, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh, people from the North and the South stayed united, writing an immortal epic of national liberation. The moment tanks of the liberation army rolled into the Independence Palace on April 30, 1975 not only ended the oppressive regime of the past, but also opened a new chapter: a unified Vietnam, with full territorial integrity, independence, and freedom.April 30, 1975 stands as a brilliant milestone in Vietnam’s history, closing decades of war and opening a new era of peace, national unity, and the building of an independent, self-reliant, socialist-oriented Vietnam.In the years following 1975, Vietnam faced immense challenges in addressing the war’s devastating aftermath.Whether under the fire of war or the pressure of economic hardships, the spirit of national unity remained the core strength that became the torch guiding the nation forward. The past 50 years have demonstrated that one of the greatest lessons of development is the power of great national unity under the leadership of the Party.The Doi Moi (Renovation) policy launched by the Party in 1986 breathed new life into the country, transitioning Vietnam from a centrally-planned economy to a socialist-oriented market economy.Vietnam has gradually integrated into the global economy, becoming one of the fastest-growing economies in the region, and establishing open relations with countries and territories across the world.As the lyrics of Trinh Cong Son’s song “Joining hands in unity” go, “From the North to the South, we join hands…,” the spirit of April 30, 1975 remains a lasting source of motivation, empowering Vietnam to advance with confidence on its path of integration and development.The 50th anniversary of national reunification is not only a time to honor the past, but also a solemn promise to build a Vietnam that stands shoulder to shoulder with the great powers of the world, just as President Ho Chi Minh once envisioned.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/042025/21/16/220250421163111.jpg?rt=20250421163113" alt="Liberation troops advancing on National Highway 1 from Nha Trang toward the South – Photo: Lam Hong Long/VNA"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Liberation troops advancing on National Highway 1 from Nha Trang toward the South – Photo: Lam Hong Long/VNA</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>From reunification to new era of growthApril 30, 1975 is not only a historic milestone, but also a lasting source of inspiration for Vietnam to move confidently on its path of renovation.

Now, it remains the spirit that helps the nation overcome the challenges of development and prosperity.Over the past 50 years, Vietnam has journeyed from the dawn of reunification to the threshold of a new era.The spirit of that historic April 30, 1975 continues to hold its value, laying the foundation for the new era in which the entire nation rises together. This is the era of development and prosperity under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the era of building a prosperous, strong, democratic, just, and civilized socialist Vietnam that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s great powers.This is the era in which every citizen enjoys a life of peace, prosperity, and happiness, an era where all are empowered to grow and thrive, contributing to global peace, stability, development, the happiness of humankind, and the advancement of civilization.The ultimate goal of this new era is prosperous people, a strong nation, and a socialist society standing alongside global powers.Vietnam aims to become a developing country with a modern industrial base and upper-middle income by 2030; and a developed socialist country with high income by 2045.It is time for Vietnam to ignite the spirit of self-reliance, confidence, and national pride to develop the country.April 30, 1975 will forever be the glory and honor of every generation of Vietnamese, the triumph of victory carried into the future on a new avenue of development.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>April 30, 1975 is not only a historic date, but also a living inspiration for Vietnam’s ongoing journey of reform and rise.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
