NCIF Research Launching Workshop
How the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) shapes supply chains in Vietnam?
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of ASEAN and five regional economies (Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan and Korea) which was signed on November 15th 2020 and officially took effect from January 1st 2022. Many assessments believe that the impact of the Agreement due to tariff reduction is not much, while the impact on shaping supply chains in the RCEP and Vietnam is significant. For a more in-depth discussion of the above, the National Centre for Socio-Economic Information and Forecast (NCIF), with the support of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), will launch the workshop on November 10th 2022 which will disseminate the research results.

EU's FDI to Vietnam in the context of EVFTA and EVIPA
Up to now, Vietnam has 15 signed agreements, two other agreements are under negotiation. Among them, the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is considered the most ambitious agreement that Vietnam has ever signed; at the same time, it is also the most ambitious FTA that the EU has ever signed with a developing country. Therefore, the EVFTA is expected to bring significant economic benefits to both sides, especially in trade and investment, thereby helping the two sides overcome the challenges of the current volatile world context
Expert talk
THE 9th OCEAN DIALOGUE
Marine scientific research: Confidence building and Environment sustainability
The South China Sea (SCS) is home to high marine biodiversity that merits marine scientific research (MSR). For a long period, MSR has been advocated as an area of common interest to restore ocean sustainability and build confidence among coastal states. In addition, rapid changes in climate and human activity demands MSR to identify shared solutions to environmental challenges such as the diminishment of fish stocks and coral reef ecosystems, marine plastic pollution, or climate change. Given its significance, the 9th Ocean Dialogue would explore possibilities to enhance MSR in the SCS. Experts will dwell on three specific topics, including: (i) the applicability of legal framework under UNCLOS for MSR; (ii) good practices in regional and international scope to offer some new ideas of what could be applied in the SCS, (iii) challenges coastal states could face in promoting science diplomacy in disputed areas, and policy recommendations accordingly.
Forum
THE MEKONG FORUM 2
ASEAN Centrality in addressing the challenges in the Mekong sub-region
The Mekong issue plays an imperative role not only for the sub-regional countries through which the river flows but also for the whole Southeast Asian region. The ASEAN – Mekong Basin Development Cooperation (AMBDC) was established as early as 1996 to enhance eco-nomic integration among member countries. However, the AMBDC has made no significant progress compared to other dynamic mechanisms in the sub-region. The reason and ra-tionale behind the vital need for ASEAN to put the Mekong sub-region on the agenda has been discussed by prominent scholars in and outside the region. In particular, ASEAN and ASEAN-led mechanisms can create strategic space for member countries to cooperate on is-sues related to the Mekong sub-region. As the ASEAN chair for 2020, Vietnam has put the sub-regional cooperation issues on the agenda of the Association.

HOPE Webinar#3
Green building design and sustainable neighborhood development towards public health in the built environment of Vietnam
The topics of energy, climate and environmental policy are of central importance to the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. This topic is not only a regulatory challenge, but also a core concern for the preservation of creation and the protection of the livelihoods of current and future generations. We therefore want to provide impetus for a sustainable approach to the environment at national and international level. Environmental protection is also a cross-sectional task that places previous fields of activity of KAS in the areas of development, economy, security and energy in a changed context and at the same time ties in with the existing fields of activity.
