Lecture

Training course

Preventing and resolving international investment disputes according to laws, international commitments of Vietnam and international experiences

As Vietnam continues its dynamic journey of deep integration into the global economy, the influx of foreign investment has brought both opportunities and challenges. Among the most pressing challenges are international investment disputes involving the Vietnamese Government and its agencies - issues that, if not effectively addressed, could undermine the country’s investment climate and long-term development goals. In response to this growing concern, and in alignment with key political and legal directives - including Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW (2022), Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW (2025), and the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 1960/QĐ-TTg (2020) - this training course on “Preventing and Resolving International Investment Disputes According to Laws, International Commitments of Vietnam and International Experiences” is designed to equip public officials with the essential legal knowledge and practical skills needed to navigate complex investment disputes. By fostering a deeper understanding of Vietnam’s international commitments and drawing on global best practices, the course aims to enhance the capacity of ministries and governmental bodies to safeguard national interests and uphold the rights of all stakeholders in the investment landscape.

Workshop

Strengthening legal implementation to support Vietnam’s modern development goals

Workshop co-organized by KAS and Department of Examination of Legal Normative Documents and Management of Handling of Administrative Violations, Ministry of Justice

The workshop "Enhancing the effectiveness of law implementation organization to meet national development goals in the new era" is designed to evaluate the current landscape of law enforcement monitoring and to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement in response to emerging governance challenges. Its overarching aim is to strengthen the role of law enforcement monitoring as a strategic tool in public administration and in advancing the development of a socialist rule-of-law state. Through a comprehensive review of legal implementation practices, the event will generate actionable recommendations to enhance enforcement effectiveness and support the refinement of the legal system. In addition, the workshop will serve as a platform for professional development, helping to build the capacity and expertise of officials responsible for law enforcement monitoring at both central and local levels.

Seminar

How FDI inflows contribute to the industrialisation in Vietnam?

Joint research by National Institute for Economics and Finance, Ministry of Finance and KAS Vietnam

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been and continues to be one of the most important driving forces behind Vietnam’s industrialization and modernization over the past three decades, since the country adopted the Đổi Mới (Renovation) policy in 1986. This capital flow has not only contributed to economic growth but also brought technology, management knowledge, created jobs, and helped Vietnam gradually integrate more deeply into global value chains. However, the limitations of FDI in supporting industrialization in Vietnam have also become apparent. Many FDI projects still focus heavily on processing and assembly activities with low added value; technology transfer and linkages with domestic enterprises remain weak; and Vietnam’s exports are heavily dependent on the FDI sector.
