On June 8, 2026, Vietnam officially marked a strategic turning point with a new direction for the development of its foreign-invested economic sector through Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW. Accordingly, Vietnam is shifting its approach from primarily attracting capital to promoting the development of a national strategic investment platform, opening up a myriad of unprecedented opportunities and privileges to partner with international businesses.
This is not simply a policy change, but a commitment by Vietnam to a stable, transparent, state-protected, and opportunity-rich investment environment over the next decade. Below are the reasons why Vietnam is an ideal and safe destination for investors in the future.
Long-term partnership
The Vietnamese government recognizes the foreign-invested sector as "an important part of the national economy"— an integral constituent and a crucial driving force in development and international integration. The State encourages the long-term development of this sector, ensuring equal treatment and healthy competition with other economic sectors in accordance with the law.
Evidently, the message from the State is unequivocal: Vietnam is seeking partners who are willing to commit to a long-term partnership with its economy. This is distinctly reflected in its paradigm shift: moving from primarily attracting capital to developing a national strategic investment platform; transitioning from attracting investment based on administrative boundaries to an approach driven by industry clusters, value chains, and innovation ecosystems.
A stable and transparent investment environment.
The legal security and sustainable development of foreign investors is one of the pillars of Resolution 10-NQ/TW.
A stable, high-quality, and predictable economic playing field, along with a complete, transparent, and synchronized legal system, is the goal of Vietnam's strategic investment development plan.
Progressive and development-oriented policies
The strategic direction for investment is shifting from an administrative management mindset to a development-oriented approach. Priority support will be directly tied to operational performance and the fulfillment of commitments. Investors who introduce cutting-edge technology, invest in R&D, develop Vietnamese workforce, foster domestic suppliers, and promote green and digital transformation will be entitled to the most preferential support policies.
Instead of rigid policies, investors now benefit from modern, intelligent support mechanisms closely linked to the operational efficiency of the unit. The State encourages investors to invest cautiously and sustainably, promoting research and human resource training in the spirit of long-term, sustainable development.
Priority areas and spaces
The resolution identifies several core areas that Vietnam prioritizes for development in the coming period:
Beyond manufacturing projects, Vietnam strongly encourages multinational corporations to establish regional headquarters, operations center, R&D center, design and innovation hubs, data centers, treasury centers, procurement centers, and shared service centers — infrastructures that integrate Vietnam into regional and global networks of manufacturing, services, and financial markets. Furthermore, numerous breakthrough institutional models will be piloted at international financial centers, free trade zones, and high-tech parks.
Vietnam is entering a new phase of development, in which high-quality foreign investors are welcomed as strategic partners — protected in their rights, supported by practical policies, and given the opportunity to seize opportunities in the highest value-added sectors. Choosing Vietnam is not just a decision to expand markets — it is a strategic step to participate more deeply in the global value chain, bringing sustainable and breakthrough profits to businesses.
