HCM City (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son on the evening of November 24 inspected preparations for the Autumn Economic Forum 2025, which will take place in Ho Chi Minh City from November 25–27 under the theme “Green Transition in the Digital Era.”

At GEM Center, the Deputy PM, accompanied by Nguyen Loc Ha, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, reviewed facilities and venues that will host several key sessions of the forum.

While watching a rehearsal of the cultural programme “Huong Sac Viet Nam” (The Scents and Colours of Vietnam), Son praised the efforts and creativity of directors and artists. He stressed that the Autumn Economic Forum is also an opportunity to promote Vietnam’s beautiful landscapes and rich cultural identity to international delegates.

He called for the inclusion of more visually striking images that showcase the beauty of Vietnam’s regions and the richness of its culture in the slides used during cultural performances. He also emphasised strengthening the connection between performance segments to highlight the blend of traditional national identity with the modernity of the new era.

At Thiskyhall Sala, the main venue of the forum, Son examined preparations for the plenary session, youth inspiration talkshow, thematic panel discussions, parallel working sessions, dialogue events, and the exhibition space showcasing high-tech and AI products. He instructed organisers to promptly finalise detailed scenarios and ensure all arrangements meet required standards, enabling the forum to run smoothly and professionally.

Son and city leaders also inspected the venue for the third Ho Chi Minh City Exhibition on Green Growth Products and Services 2025, themed “Smart Intelligence – Innovations of Industry 4.0.”
