Prime Minister to attend high-level General Debate of UNGA 73

Dũng’s message to Việt Nam’s business community was clear: the private sector must continue to evolve and innovate to maintain its role as a key driver of economic development in the face of new global challenges.

Growth is expected to moderate from 7.5 per cent year-on-year in H1 to 6.1 per cent in H2, driven by increased business activity and sustained foreign investment.

It is anticipated that the technology, renewable energy and logistics sectors would continue to expand rapidly in 2025.

The Government leader warns of a possibility of a trade war that may disrupt the global supply chain.

Trade remained smooth, with total import-export turnover estimated at $63.15 billion, down 10.5 per cent from the previous month and 3.5 per cent year-on-year.

Party General Secretary Tô Lâm praised efforts to ensure a well-organised holiday, but stressed the need for authorities and businesses to return to work promptly. He warned against extended celebrations and called for full focus on meeting February and first-quarter deadlines.

PM Phạm Minh Chính expressed his hope for continued support from the Party Central Committee, its Politburo and Secretariat, current and former leaders, the National Asembly, and the Việt Nam Fatherland Front for the Government to fulfil its tasks, creating momentum for the whole country to make development breakthrough and enter the era of the nation’s rise.

Business conditions in the Vietnamese manufacturing sector weakened in the first month of 2025 with drops in both output and new orders.

The past 95 years have formed a glorious and pride-worthy period for the Vietnamese people as they have gradually eliminated poverty and backwardness, steadily moving towards a wealthier and happier future.
