General Secretary To Lam emphasized that looking to the future, Vietnam is rapidly promoting strategic breakthroughs, making efforts to best prepare for a development process that is fast, green, inclusive and sustainable.
On the afternoon of April 16, in Hanoi, the Partnership for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Vietnam Summit 2025 opened with the participation of more than 1,000 delegates from over 40 countries and international organizations.
Delivering a policy message at the Conference, General Secretary To Lam said that, in the face of the great and rapid changes of the world today, Vietnam is making constant efforts to reach an era of national development, prosperity, and standing shoulder to shoulder with the world's great powers; successfully building a socialist society for the goal of a rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness, civilization, and happiness; by 2030, Vietnam will become a developing country with modern industry and high average income; by 2045, it will become a developed socialist country with high income.
With the experience of 40 years of Renovation, Vietnam has determined that the path to realizing the above goals must ensure the principle of "sustainability, inclusiveness, and harmony", including: (i) Rapid development must go hand in hand with sustainability, high quality, and harmony between economic development and culture, society, environmental protection, and adaptation to climate change; (ii) National development must go hand in hand with international responsibility, contributing more and more to peace, stability, and development of the region and the world, for the happiness of humanity and global civilization; international cooperation on the principle of "win-win"; (iii) The development process must take people as the center, goal, and driving force of all policies and strategies; people are the beneficiaries of the achievements of development.
Green institutions are the decisive foundation, green technology is the driving force for breakthroughs, and green human resources play a key role.
According to the General Secretary, Vietnam is focusing on promoting strategic solutions for national development, including:
Firstly, promoting institutional reform is the breakthrough of breakthroughs. Focus on reform, opening up, removing bottlenecks, liberating all resources for development, especially socio-economic development; creating conditions for economic sectors to develop together, with attention paid to the private economy; creating conditions for deeper international integration.
Second, promoting the development of science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation is a top priority breakthrough, a key driving force for rapidly developing modern productive forces, perfecting production relations and innovating national governance methods. In particular, data is a new resource, the "air and light" of the new era, and new means of production. Digital transformation is a tool for innovating production and business methods and innovating productive forces. Innovation is the "magic wand" to achieve sustainable prosperity.
Regarding green transformation, thanks to the right and timely approach, linking the Green Growth Strategy with the 10-year Socio-Economic Development Strategy, despite being a developing country with a transitional economy and limited resources, Vietnam has initially achieved some important results: (i) Being a leading country in supplying renewable energy in ASEAN, with wind and solar power capacity accounting for 2/3 of ASEAN's total capacity; (ii) Being a good example of promoting sustainable green agriculture. The 1 million hectare high-quality and low-emission specialized rice project is a pioneering model that many partners and international organizations are interested in and refer to; (iii) Being an active and responsible member of all multilateral mechanisms and major initiatives on green growth and energy transition (such as the Paris Agreement on Climate, the Partnership for a Just Energy Transition JETP, P4G, etc.).
In particular, in terms of institutions, Vietnam has basically built the necessary mechanisms and frameworks for green growth, including the National Plan, the energy master plan, strategies and plans for developing key sectors and fields, a list of key projects and decrees to remove difficulties for the energy sector and green growth. However, as a developing country with a transitional economy, Vietnam also faces many challenges in terms of financial resources, technology, human resources, resilience to the impacts of climate change and geopolitical fluctuations globally.
"Looking to the future, Vietnam is rapidly promoting strategic breakthroughs, making efforts to best prepare for a development process that is both fast, green, inclusive and sustainable. We will strongly transform political commitments into practical actions, creating motivation for businesses and the whole society to participate in green economic development, in which green institutions are the decisive foundation, green technology is the driving force for breakthroughs, and green human resources play a key role," General Secretary To Lam emphasized.
Promoting the role of developing countries in green growth and sustainable development
Vietnam's development path cannot be separated from the general trend of the world and human civilization. Vietnam advocates placing itself in the flow of the world, skillfully combining national strength and the strength of the times, creating Vietnamese strength in the era of rising up.
"We will continue to promote the opening up process, proactively and actively integrate into the international community in a synchronous, comprehensive, deep and effective manner," General Secretary To Lam emphasized.
The General Secretary said that hosting the fourth P4G Conference is of utmost importance to Vietnam. Firstly, to promote its role as a good friend, a reliable partner, and a responsible member of P4G and the international community. Secondly, to reaffirm its commitment to sustainable development, energy transition, and the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Thirdly, to contribute to raising awareness of international cooperation and to promote the role and voice of developing countries in the field of green growth and sustainable development.
"I believe that the Conference will create new momentum to promote cooperation between P4G and partners, between countries in the Northern and Southern hemispheres, between the public and private sectors to promote green transformation and sustainable development, and green finance," General Secretary To Lam expressed./.
