The community also needs to act responsibly by overseeing the activities of businesses and regulatory agencies.

Contributions from these presentations helped the seminar move beyond theoretical aspects to connect with practice, offering feasible and highly applicable solutions to guide sustainable coffee production in Vietnam in the future.
The exchange of views and open discussion attracted considerable interest from participants. Contributions at the seminar will provide an important foundation for more extensive research within the CAFSUS project, while supporting effective policymaking to mitigate climate change.
4. Policy Dialogue Seminar on “Vietnam’s 30 Years of Development: Looking Back and Responding to New Challenges”
A. Objectives
To assess Vietnam’s development achievements over the past three decades, identify development challenges in the new context, and propose policy recommendations for Vietnam to achieve sustainable growth and become a high-income country. The seminar’s outcomes will provide additional information for research and advisory work for the Politburo, Secretariat, National Assembly and Government on major guidelines and policies for the country’s socioeconomic development in the new context.
B. Organization
Jointly organized by NEU and Japan’s National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies. Participants included representatives of the National Assembly’s Economic Committee; the Government Office; the Department of General Economic Affairs, Central Economic Commission; the Department of Banking and Finance, Ministry of Finance; the Department of Cadre Training and Development, Central Organization Commission; and the Department of General Statistics and Statistical Information Dissemination…
C. Outcomes
Several major trends are shaping Vietnam’s future. The rapid advancement of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital technology and artificial intelligence offers opportunities to enhance economic competitiveness and sustainability, as well as the quality of products, services and production processes. However, it also presents major challenges, including infrastructure challenges and an increasingly aging population… These are accompanied by political, social and institutional issues. The 2024-2030 period is decisive for Vietnam’s transformation into an industrialized country in line with Vietnam’s Socioeconomic Development Strategy for 2021-2030. This is an important milestone that opens up many opportunities for the country’s economic development, particularly under the influence of globalization, international economic integration and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Reviewing and assessing development achievements over the past three decades, as well as analyzing the capacity to respond to the new context, is therefore of vital importance.
