🇻🇳Vietnam – A Linchpin in ASEAN’s Growth Story🇻🇳
As global supply chains realign and economic headwinds gather strength, Vietnam isn’t standing still. Instead, this dynamic nation of 100 million is charging ahead with a clear mission: target 8 % GDP growth in 2025, accelerate digital transformation, and move toward milestone goals — attaining upper middle-income status by 2030 and becoming a developed nation by 2045.
This year also marks the 30th anniversary of Vietnam’s membership in ASEAN. As Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang notes, ASEAN remains central to Vietnam’s strategy: “ASEAN has been and will continue to be a cornerstone in our foreign policy. We see ASEAN as a new engine for global economic growth.”
As the gateway city of central Vietnam, Da Nang epitomizes this spirit of openness and opportunity. Through the Da Nang – ASEAN Business Group and the Vietnam – ASEAN Business Summit, we are working to transform national ambitions into regional realities, connecting investors, entrepreneurs and partners to shape the future of ASEAN’s growth.
