The conference focused on critical topics such as navigating US tariff policies, geopolitical shifts, and Vietnam’s role as a leading dynamic economy in ASEAN. It offered a platform for experts to exchange ideas on how Vietnam can leverage its competitive advantages to diversify its economy and export markets, develop sustainable infrastructure, foster an inclusive workforce, and implement gender-lens investment strategies.
