By 2030, its per capita GRDP at current prices is projected to reach VNĐ385-405 million, equivalent to $14,800-15,400.Key economic targets include maintaining the service sector’s share of GRDP at above 60 per cent, the industrial and construction sector around 27 per cent (with manufacturing contributing 22 per cent), and agro-forestry-fisheries approximately 0.4 per cent. The digital economy, meanwhile, is expected to account for over 40 per cent of GRDP.The city population is estimated at 11 million by 2030 and 14.5 million by 2050. Labour productivity growth is targeted at 7 per cent annually, with its human development index (HDI) exceeding 0.85.Urbanisation is set to surpass 90 per cent by 2030. Efforts will focus on doubling the city’s poverty threshold relative to the national standard and eradicating poverty based on national criteria by the decade’s end.The plan notes the formation of concentrated agricultural zones and high-tech agricultural areas in HCM City's Northwest, Southwest, and Southern localities. It also includes the reforestation of some 200 hectares in Cần Giờ District’s protected forests and the development of a fisheries hub there to support deep processing and port operations.The city plans to advance core industries such as design and manufacturing of electronic components, integrated circuits, flexible electronics, chips, advanced batteries, new materials, clean energy, and renewable energy, along with biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor materials production. Additionally, existing sectors, including footwear, apparel, and furniture, will undergo restructuring to increase value-added output.Also poised to become a leading e-commerce hub in the southeastern region, HCM City plans to enhance retail channels while professionalising and digitising wholesale supply chains. — VNS

In an interview granted to the Việt Nam News Agency (VNA) on the occasion of the New Year holidays, the diplomat noted “the relationship has never been better”.Việt Nam and Australia celebrated the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic ties last year. How do you evaluate cooperation outcomes over the past more than five decades?The Australia and Việt Nam relationship is one of mutual trust and the relationship has never been better. The upgrading of our relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) in March 2024 reflects the strategic and political trust between our countries and the ambition we both hold for the future here and for the region, one of stability and prosperity.Việt Nam and Australia are different in many ways, but 50 years of cooperation has created a very strong and positive relationship. Australia delivered the first submarine cable, the first satellite links, the first north-south 500 KV powerlines and the first bridges over the Mekong. As Việt Nam’s standard of living rises and its economy modernises, there will be even broader opportunities for collaboration with Australia.Việt Nam is an important country to Australia, and not just as a trading partner. A peaceful, prosperous and sovereign Việt Nam is essential for the stability and prosperity of our entire region. And while the challenges facing Việt Nam (and the world) may be significant, as comprehensive strategic partners we have the framework to forge ahead with optimism for future success.Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese agreed to upgrade the Việt Nam-Australia relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership earlier this year. What are prospects of cooperation between the two countries, especially after the establishment of the comprehensive strategic partnership?In October 2024, our Foreign Ministers met in Adelaide, Australia, and signed the Plan of Action to implement our CSP. In 2025, we will work together with Việt Nam to take the plan forward which means greater cooperation in six focus areas: Deepening Political, Defence Security and Justice Cooperation; Enhancing Economic Engagement; Building Knowledge and Connecting People; Strengthening Climate, Environment and Energy Cooperation; Supporting Science, Technology, Innovation and Developing Digital Transformation; and Reinforcing Regional and International Cooperation.The Australian business community is excited by the potential of Việt Nam’s economy, and we anticipate continued reforms to improve the business environment for foreign investors and in the visitor economy. With the recent release of revised regulations for education cooperation in Việt Nam, we hope to see more Australian universities establish operations here to support Việt Nam with high-quality, industry-relevant human resource development. Two-way trade is also another shining light with further growth expected in line with Việt Nam’s overall rise in living standards.How do you assess Việt Nam's achievements and its efforts to promote its role and position regionally and internationally over the past time?From the very beginning of our relationship, Australia has been a vocal supporter of Việt Nam’s international integration. Our region and the international community are stronger because of Việt Nam’s engagement and we have been pleased to see Việt Nam playing an ever more active role on the global stage.We acknowledge and support ASEAN centrality and recognise that ASEAN is central to regional stability and security. Australia was honoured to welcome ASEAN Leaders to Melbourne to celebrate our 50 years of dialogue partnership in March 2024 at the Australia-ASEAN Special Summit. The Melbourne Declaration signed at that Special Summit sets out a bright future for ASEAN-Australia relations, highlighting key areas of our cooperation, the importance of a rules-based Indo-Pacific region based on adherence to international law, and shared views on regional and international issues.We are also strongly supportive of Việt Nam taking an ever-greater leadership role in ASEAN, such as through establishing and hosting the annual ASEAN Future Forum in Hà Nội, an excellent and important initiative for ASEAN’s future which Australia is proud to support.Party General Secretary Tô Lâm has outlined strategic directions to bring Việt Nam into a new era - the era of the nation's rise. How do you think about this, and how about Australia's support for Việt Nam during the process?As an outside observer, there appears to be a broad consensus that a new period of renovation is necessary for Việt Nam to achieve its goals of becoming a high-income country by 2045. General Secretary’s speech to the special conference of the Politburo on December 1, 2024 was particularly striking in its tone, calling for action to create the necessary conditions to make change happen. While change can bring uncertainty, we have seen in Việt Nam the positive outcomes of similar efforts in the past such as the Đổi Mới economic reforms.Việt Nam Australia Centre (VAC) within the Hồ Chí Minh Academy of Politics has facilitated studies and exchanges on civil service reform. One of the most unique features of the bilateral development partnership is the prestigious leadership capability development delivered by the Việt Nam Australia Centre. The VAC demonstrates the prioritisation of both our countries on public sector leadership, including advancing women in leadership, research and knowledge exchange. We learn from each other to tackle the complex challenges Việt Nam and much of the rest of the world face.The New Era is dawning at a time when global conditions are becoming more challenging. In the face of rising geopolitical competition, we expect that Việt Nam will continue to maintain its careful neutrality and Việt Nam’s engagement with the world to increase, in line with its interests, needs and ambition. — VNS

He described the move as timely and appropriate in light of global and domestic energy demands, as traditional energy sources become increasingly unsustainable."Modern nuclear technology has reached safety levels far beyond traditional energy sources," he said. "Its scalability and flexibility align perfectly with Việt Nam’s geography and energy needs."He pointed out that the country’s long, narrow geography makes small modular reactors (SMRs) an ideal choice, especially in areas with abundant renewable energy potential. Combining SMRs with solar and wind energy could strengthen Việt Nam’s clean energy foundation while supporting its carbon neutrality goal for 2050.The minister also highlighted the country’s favourable conditions for nuclear energy development, including its demographic advantages."Việt Nam is a populous nation with a young, tech-savvy workforce capable of quickly adopting advanced technologies,” he added. However, the country faces a significant shortfall in nuclear energy professionals.Ly Quốc Hùng, Director of the Ministry's Department of Science and Technology, reported that Việt Nam lacks the quantity and quality of skilled personnel required for nuclear energy development.Key areas such as reactor technology, nuclear physics and radiation safety remain underdeveloped, compounded by limited experience in educational institutions in training nuclear energy specialists.In addition to fields directly related to nuclear power, more than half of the workforce required for a nuclear power plant involves expertise in mechanical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering, automation and environmental science.The country’s current education system has yet to fully address these interdisciplinary needs.An earlier Government initiative in 2010 aimed to train thousands of nuclear energy specialists by 2020. In six years, the Ministry of Education and Training has sent 429 students to study nuclear-related fields in Russia, while EVN sent 31 students to Japan and trained 24 engineers in nuclear energy.However, the programme was curtailed in 2016 when the Ninh Thuận nuclear power project was suspended. Many trained professionals have since transitioned to other sectors or moved abroad.The lack of a comprehensive review of these previously trained personnel further complicates efforts to revive the programme. Minister Diên called for an immediate reassessment of this workforce to determine how many could be retrained or redeployed.International experts, including the IAEA and France’s EDF, estimate that operating a nuclear power plant with two 1,000MW reactors requires between 600 and 1,200 skilled workers. For Việt Nam’s planned Ninh Thuận 1 and 2 plants (2,000MW each), the total workforce demand would be 2,400.The programme also requires advanced researchers, legal experts specialising in nuclear regulation and educators in nuclear sciences. Including personnel for state management, research institutes and academia, the total workforce demand rises significantly, with some critical roles taking up to 10 years to adequately train.The conference highlighted the need for an integrated ecosystem to support nuclear power development. Key recommendations included expanding or establishing university training programmes with courses in nuclear engineering, radiation safety, nuclear physics and related fields, as well as sharing resources between research institutions and universities to optimise efficiency.“We must determine how many of our previously trained personnel can be redeployed and identify gaps in training. Collaboration between institutions is critical to maximise the use of existing facilities and resources,” Minister Diên said.He also emphasised the importance of cooperation among educational institutions, research centres, and government agencies. He suggested shared use of specialised laboratories and joint programmes between institutions like the Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute and Dalat Nuclear Research Institute.Moreover, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will propose policies to support nuclear education and training. Educational standards for nuclear programmes will be established in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Training, ensuring nationwide consistency. — VNS
