HÀ NỘI ( WNAM MONITORING): The Foreign Trade University (FTU) released the Vietnam International Trade Report 2025, an in-depth publication that provides a comprehensive overview of the new drivers for trade growth in Việt Nam’s era of national rising, on October 10.
Within the framework of the 2nd Vietnam International Trade Forum (VFIT), the report provides scientific and practical arguments on the new drivers of Việt Nam’s international trade growth.
The Vietnam International Trade Report 2025 is built upon in-depth research and analysis of four new growth drivers, including new-generation Free Trade Agreements – the institutional foundation for comprehensive integration; Digital Trade – the technological driver for breakthroughs and innovation; Sustainable Trade – the normative driver enabling Việt Nam to secure a stronger position in the global market; and Global Value Chains – the structural driver that elevates Việt Nam’s position in the global value chain.
The report also proposes a comprehensive, synchronised and multi-layered action strategy, emphasising the need for close coordination among the “State as Constructors – Enterprises at the Core – Universities as Connectors.” This strategy is expected to help Việt Nam transform external drivers into endogenous advantages, foster sustainable international trade development, and enhance the country’s position in the global arena.
Speaking at the ceremony, President of Foreign Trade University Phạm Thu Hương emphasised: “The Vietnam International Trade Report 2025 was developed to identify and provide in-depth analysis of four new cross-cutting growth drivers — emerging from global trends but materialised and coordinated at the national and business levels.”
She further noted that the report puts forward a comprehensive, synchronised, and multi-layered action strategy, calling for strong collaboration among the State, the business community, and universities to transform external drivers into internal strengths, enabling Việt Nam to make breakthroughs and affirm its position as a high-value link in international trade in the new era.
