At the APEC CEO Summit 2025 in Korea, Vietnam’s President, Mr. Luong Cuong, delivered a powerful vision to global business leaders. In a world often described as volatile and uncertain, his message was clear and compelling: Vietnam offers stability, safety, and a unique pathway to sustainable success. 

For international investors and tech giants looking to navigate the future, his speech positioned Vietnam not just as a stable investment destination, but as an active and ideal partner in the ongoing global technological revolution, particularly in Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

A Call for Responsible and Inclusive AI 

Speaking alongside world leaders from the US, China, and other major economies, President Luong Cuong emphasized that the world is entering the 4th Industrial Revolution, fundamentally differentiated by the unprecedented breakthroughs in AI. 

He stressed that this revolution must be guided by a spirit of cooperation from the very beginning, ensuring all economies have the opportunity to participate, contribute, and benefit. The President called on the APEC business community to join governments in a critical mission: to deploy AI responsibly and promote an open and inclusive AI ecosystem. 

This forward-thinking approach signals Vietnam’s commitment to not just adopting AI, but to shaping its development in a way that is ethical and beneficial for all. 

Why Vietnam is Your Ideal Partner for Sustainable Growth 

Building on nearly 40 years of Đổi Mới (Renewal), Vietnam has laid a formidable foundation. The President outlined the nation’s strengths including: 

• Political and Social Stability: A safe and predictable environment for business. 

• Robust Institutions: Policies and legal frameworks increasingly aligned with international standards. 

• Dynamic Economy: Deep global integration and a strong growth trajectory. 

• Strategic Advantages: A large market of over 100 million people, a young, well-trained workforce, and continuously improving infrastructure. 

To achieve its ambitious goal of becoming a high-income economy by 2045, Vietnam is pushing for aggressive reforms. These include three strategic breakthroughs: institutions, infrastructure, and human resources, alongside major upgrades in science & technology, digital transformation, and private sector development. 

Crucially, the President highlighted specific, high-potential fields for cooperation: AI, energy, biotechnology, and smart cities.
