State President Luong Cuong and the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation arrived in Busan on the afternoon of October 29, to attend the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Week and conduct bilateral activities in South Korea, at the invitation of President Lee Jae Myun.
With the theme "Building a Sustainable Tomorrow: Connect, Innovate, Prosper," the APEC Leaders’ Week 2025 is expected to serve as a key platform for APEC economic leaders to sustain dialogue, strengthen trust, and promote cooperation in addressing global economic and trade challenges, as well as fostering inclusive and sustainable development across the region.
Vietnam has been an active and constructive member of APEC, making significant contributions to maintaining the momentum of cooperation and ensuring that the forum remains responsive to new global trends. Through its initiatives, Vietnam has helped enrich APEC’s agenda, promote innovation, and affirm APEC’s role as a vital driver of growth and economic integration in the Asia-Pacific and the world.
President Cuong’s participation in the APEC Leaders’ Week 2025 also brings an opportunity for Vietnam to promote the image of a dynamic economy that is deeply integrating and always accompanies the region towards the goal of connection, innovation, and prosperity. It also affirms the role of Vietnam as an active, responsible and increasingly proactive member in shaping the regional cooperation structure, preparing for hosting APEC 2027.
On a bilateral level, State President Luong Cuong's working visit is an opportunity for the two sides to continue to consolidate and deepen the foundation of good political relations, promote the effective implementation of high-level commitments and agreements reached in recent times, enabling the bilateral good cooperation to contribute more substantially and effectively to the development of each country in the current important development period.
During the APEC 2025 Summit, State President Luong Cuong is scheduled to hold meetings with leaders of APEC member economies, as well as with leaders of major global corporations. These engagements are expected to further deepen Vietnam’s bilateral ties with partners and attract more resources to serve the country’s socio-economic development objectives.
Notably, the Vietnamese President will attend and deliver a keynote address at the APEC CEO Summit 2025, thereby calling on international friends to continue to accompany, support and stand side by side with Vietnam in the new development stage.
