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.

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.
