Vietnam pursues technological autonomy and infrastructure integration

Vietnam is focusing on integrating resources and technology to drive sustainable development. According to Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Manh Cuong, the nation is moving toward a 'Tech Connect' approach. This model emphasizes 'co-creating technology' rather than just accessing external resources, aiming to transform international knowledge into domestic capability to ensure strategic autonomy in key sectors.

In regional development, leaders in Gia Lai are emphasizing the need for the State to lead in planning and essential infrastructure. Business leaders, including Phan Thanh Thien of Truong Sinh Group, note that organized infrastructure and predictable environments are critical for businesses to invest long-term. The goal is to connect raw material areas, processing industries, and logistics to create cohesive value chains rather than fragmented development.
