In his closing remarks at the Autumn Economic Forum 2025 on November 26, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized the historical opportunity for a breakthrough and clearly stated that Vietnam is ready to become the region’s "green-digital laboratory."
Regarding the insights gained from the extensive discussions at the Forum, the PM identified five crucial points of consensus:
First, in a volatile world, delegates strongly agreed on the need to further strengthen solidarity, cooperation, and dialogue. Solidarity generates strength, cooperation yields resources, and dialogue reinforces trust. They agreed to uphold multilateralism and international law, and to consolidate and promote the highest spirit of international solidarity to deeply address the common challenges of the era.
Second, the Forum unanimously agreed that green transformation and digital transformation are two fundamental elements constituting an inevitable and irreversible trend. "Dual transformation" (green and digital) has become an objective requirement, a strategic choice, and a top priority for every nation seeking rapid and sustainable development.
Third, delegates shared the view on "three key levers" to promote digital transformation, green transition, and sustainable development in the coming time: Institutions, Resources, and Innovation.
Fourth, delegates agreed on an approach that places people at the center. People are the subject, the goal, the driving force, and the resource for development; development must bring a prosperous and happy life to the people.
Fifth, delegates expressed high appreciation, support, and readiness to accompany and cooperate with Vietnam on its new development journey.
PM Chinh summarized the results of the forum with the following message: "Converging wisdom, consolidating trust, strengthening solidarity, harmonizing green and digital growth, looking toward the future, and sharing benefits."
He expressed his hope that partners, international organizations, and the World Economic Forum (WEF) would continue to accompany and support Vietnam in a spirit of cooperation that is "substantive, sincere, trustworthy, and effective." This aims to foster more effective exchange forums on shared development issues.
He called for support to transform Vietnam into a "green-digital laboratory" for the region, affirming that Vietnam is fully ready to assume this role. He also requested the continued sharing of knowledge and advanced governance experience, along with specific support regarding preferential finance, high-tech transfer, and technical assistance for Vietnam.
PM Chinh emphasized that the greatest success of the 2025 Autumn Economic Forum was establishing it as the starting point for a long-term, sustainable, and strategic journey of cooperation, bringing benefits to all countries, international partners, and interested stakeholders.
He urged continued close coordination to build the Autumn Economic Forum into a prestigious annual strategic dialogue platform of regional and international stature, focused on innovation and sustainable development.
