This is one of the activities of the Action Month for Cooperatives in 2025 launched by the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance, including: Propagating the Party's guidelines, policies and laws of the State on the development of collective economy and cooperatives; National Cooperative Forum in 2025 with the theme "Transforming green production for sustainable development"; Conference to support typical cooperatives to improve their capacity to access loans and connect trade; Survey and exchange of experiences at some typical cooperatives.

These activities became even more meaningful when the United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year of Cooperatives. The opening ceremony of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025 with the theme “Cooperatives Build a Better World ” was held in India on November 25, 2024 with the participation of more than 3,000 delegates who are leaders and members of national cooperative organizations around the world. This is the second time in history that the United Nations has dedicated an international year to cooperatives.

“The second International Year of Cooperatives will be an opportunity to call on all stakeholders to support and replicate the cooperative model everywhere and thereby promote their contribution to a better world,” said Ms. Li Junhua, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs.

The International Year of Cooperatives is expected to inspire cooperatives around the world, promote the contributions of the cooperative sector to society, celebrate achievements and further actions to develop the cooperative sector and improve people's lives.
