Geneva (VNA) – Swiss news outlet La Tribune des Nations has published an article which praises Vietnam's economic achievements and investment environment.
The article, titled “A Davos, le Vietnam veut attirer les investisseurs” (In Davos, Vietnam aims to attract investors) by Adrien Benoit, notes that the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos from January 20 to 23 presents a great opportunity to affirm the country's position.
The article states that Vietnam is confirming its growing role as a major player in the global economy. The Southeast Asian country, rich in potential, is attracting increasing attention from investors and businesses worldwide.
Emerging as one of the economies linking the US and China, Vietnam has made several achievements, including progress in import and export revenues, becoming one of the standout economies in the Asia-Pacific region.
Like other countries around the world, it has been implementing a number of significant politic and administrative reforms. These are unprecedented changes in a country which prioritises maintaining political stability for development.
According to the article, Vietnam's regular participation in the Davos forum recently also shows that the country places significant expectations in the multilateral environment for development goals. The presence of Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in the WEF underscores the country's emergence as a global economic power. Vietnam is not just an attractive economic partner; it is a strategic destination for the future.
The writing highlighted that Vietnam has shown impressive economic growth over the past two decades. In 2024, its GDP grew by about 7% despite global economic uncertainties. This economic resilience is based on several pillars including a young and dynamic population, rapid urbanisation, and an increase in foreign investment.
Vietnam is establishing itself as a global centre for manufacturing and export, particularly in the electronics, textiles, and agricultural sectors. Global companies such as Samsung, Intel, and Nike have set up significant production bases there. This is attributed to competitive labour costs, a skilled workforce, and continually improved logistics infrastructure.
The Vietnamese Government is actively encouraging innovation and the transition to a digital economy. Initiatives to develop tech start-ups, AI-based services, and digital transformation in key sectors are creating a fertile ecosystem for tech companies.
Vietnam has also set ambitious goals for sustainable development. By adopting policies focused on renewable energy and responsible business practices, the country is attracting environmentally conscious investors and green projects, added the article./.
