Henig: IMO: I like what I'm seeing here: "major progress on multiple issues" and "narrowing differences on outstanding matters." As we've discussed before, exchange rates are almost always going to be a part of any trade talks like this--especially given the fact that they're spurred on by President Trump's tariffs. Let's continue to watch and see how this situation develops.

Việt Nam, US make major progress in 5th round of trade talks
November 16, 2025 - 16:19
In the series of talks, the Vietnamese and US delegations made major progress on multiple issues, including services, digital trade, agriculture, technical barriers to trade (TBT), and sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPS), while narrowing differences on outstanding matters.
HÀ NỘI — According to the agreed plan, the fifth round of in-person negotiations on the Việt Nam–United States Reciprocal Trade Agreement concluded after the three-day session from November 12 to 14 in Washington DC, the Ministry of Industry and Trade reported.
Việt Nam’s negotiating delegation was led by Minister of Industry and Trade and Government Chief Negotiator Nguyễn Hồng Diên, joined by members of the negotiating team and representatives from the Ministries of Public Security, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Home Affairs, Agriculture and Environment, Science and Technology, Justice and the State Bank of Việt Nam.
During the talks, the Vietnamese and US delegations made major progress on multiple issues, including services, digital trade, agriculture, technical barriers to trade (TBT) and sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPS), while narrowing differences on outstanding matters.
In the closing session, both the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the Vietnamese negotiating team assessed the round as highly positive, creating favourable conditions for the early conclusion of the Việt Nam–US Reciprocal Trade Agreement.
The US highly valued the goodwill, effort and creative approach of the Vietnamese delegation, particularly the results of the direct meeting between Minister Diên and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer held immediately before the official technical negotiations. Responding to Việt Nam’s proposals, the US side offered initial positive feedback and indicated it could consider further steps based on the overall negotiation outcome.
The two sides also agreed on follow-up work after this round and consented to hold several online meetings in the coming days to continue addressing outstanding issues and prepare for a virtual ministerial-level negotiation between Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Minister Diên, expected later in November.
In addition to the negotiations, Minister Diên held working sessions with the US Under Secretary of State, members of the House of Representatives including the Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, and met with leaders of major US technology and semiconductor companies as well as the Footwear and Apparel Association, to promote bilateral economic, investment and trade cooperation and rally support for Việt Nam’s reciprocal trade negotiations. — VNS

Vietnam 2.0 investor conference to spotlight new “Dragon Rising” growth phase
November 17, 2025 - 07:26
Held under the theme “Vietnam 2.0 – Unlocking the Next Growth Phase,” the two-day event on December 3-4 will explore Việt Nam’s transformation into a new era of accelerated and sustainable growth.
HCM CITY — More than 100 leading investors from Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, Europe and the UK will gather in HCM City early next month for the Dynam Investor Conference 2025, one of the year’s most anticipated international investment events.
Held under the theme “Vietnam 2.0 – Unlocking the Next Growth Phase,” the two-day event on December 3-4 will explore Việt Nam’s transformation into a new era of accelerated and sustainable growth.
The conference, jointly organised by Dynam Capital Ltd (Guernsey), Vantage Point Asset Management (Singapore) and Shinec Vietnam, aims to open new channels for long-term foreign capital into one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies.
According to the organisers, the event will feature in-depth analyses, candid dialogues and direct networking with top Vietnamese business leaders and policymakers.
It will bring together global financial experts to discuss ways to strengthen Việt Nam’s capital markets and build a more transparent and sustainable financial ecosystem.
Key sessions will focus on macroeconomic trends, market outlooks and investment opportunities in infrastructure, energy, environment and technology.
The event follows a successful Melbourne VPAM Vietnam Investment Roadshow, which gathered major institutional investors such as Future Fund, Macquarie Group, Morgan Stanley, Smorgon Family Office, Myer Group, Farrer Capital, Bloomberg and Navigate Australia.
Discussions during the roadshow identified Việt Nam as one of Asia’s next key growth markets, reflecting growing global investor interest in infrastructure, manufacturing and capital markets.
“Việt Nam is no longer just a ‘rising star’, it has become a soaring dragon,” said Ken Atkinson, senior advisor to the organisers.
“This conference serves as a bridge for global investors to seize golden opportunities and help build a prosperous and sustainable future for Việt Nam.”
With billions of dollars in potential investments, the conference is expected to attract significant attention from the international financial community and provide a platform for Vietnamese enterprises to connect with high-quality foreign capital. — VNS

Henig: Hải Phòng speeds up establishment of specialised economic zone

The project to establish the zone has been submitted to the Prime Minister, and its setup is ongoing.
HÀ NỘI — Chairman of the Hải Phòng City People's Committee Lê Trung Kiên recently directed relevant agencies to speed up the establishment of a 5,300ha specialised economic zone with a total investment of more than VNĐ338 trillion (US$12.9 billion) in the city.
The project to establish the zone has been submitted to the Prime Minister, and its setup is ongoing.
The zone, which is designed with modern infrastructure and is set to become a comprehensive and multi-industry economic zone, is expected to be a driver for the city's socio-economic growth, with a contribution of about 3-4 per cent to the city's GRDP by 2030 and over 5 per cent after 2030.
It covers about 5,300ha in six communes in the core area of the dynamic industrial park to the west of the city: Thượng Hồng, Nguyễn Lương Bằng, Bắc Thanh Miện, Thanh Miện, Hải Hưng and Bình Giang. According to local authorities, it is a favourable location connecting the Red River Delta, where there are several industrial and commercial centres, large domestic markets and an abundant workforce, by road, waterway and airway.
It is also located on the main route of economic corridors linking Việt Nam with China, including Nanning - Lạng Sơn - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng - Quảng Ninh and Kunming - Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng - Quảng Ninh.
Aside from the specialised economic zone, Hải Phòng also aims to complete and approve plans for a Southern Coastal Economic Zone by the end of this year. The northern city also plans to develop a Hải Phòng City Free Trade Zone, after the Government issued a decision on establishing the zone on October 13. — VNA/VNS

Henig: Logistics Forum 2025 seeks to unleash development potential of central Việt Nam
November 10, 2025 - 08:13
Themed “Vietnam Logistics – Rising into the New Era,” the 2025 forum reflects Việt Nam ’s aspiration to elevate the logistics industry during a period of strong transformation.
The Vietnam Logistics Forum 2025, scheduled to take place on November 28–29 in the central coastal city of Đà Nẵng, is expected to be a strategic milestone, marking a new phase of development for Việt Nam’s logistics services amidst the ongoing global supply chain restructuring and rapid digital transformation.
According to the Foreign Trade Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), the forum, organised annually by the MoIT, aims to promote the development of logistics services, strengthen the linkage between logistics and production as well as import – export industries, and serve as a platform for dialogue, exchange of views, and updates on key domestic and international logistic issues.
Over the course of 12 editions, it has received strong attention and high evaluation from Government leaders, ministries, sectors, local authorities and the business community for its practical significance in fostering business cooperation, attracting investment, and driving the growth of Việt Nam’s logistics industry. Themed “Việt Nam Logistics – Rising into the New Era,” the 2025 forum serves not only as a continuation of the series of annual events but also as a reflection of the sector’s aspiration to elevate Việt Nam’s logistics industry during a period of strong transformation.
It will provide an opportunity for government agencies, experts and businesses to engage in discussions and propose measures for the sector’s development, promote the improvement of governance mechanisms and reaffirm logistics as a pillar of the national economy. On November 28, the agenda will feature field trips to ports and logistics centres in Đà Nẵng. The purpose of these visits is to showcase the logistics development potential and infrastructure in these areas.
On the morning of November 29, a plenary session will take place, with the participation of the Prime Minister, along with representatives from ministries, sectors, and localities. In the afternoon, a thematic workshop titled “Finding Opportunities for Breakthrough Logistics in the Central Region” will be held.
This session will emphasise the strategic importance of developing infrastructure, logistics, and trade in central Việt Nam, while encouraging self-reliance and regional cooperation with neighbouring countries such as Thailand and Laos to activate economic corridors. It aims to link logistics activities more closely with actual goods circulation, laying the foundation for sustainable regional connectivity.
After the presentations, the forum will hold a Q&A session for participants to engage in in-depth discussions. Đà Nẵng was selected as the forum venue as it is a key part of the East – West Economic Corridor that connects Việt Nam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar and also serves as a gateway to the East Sea for the Greater Mekong Sub-region. In particular, the central region is believed to hold huge logistics potential which hasn't been fully tapped into.
With the upgrade of Liên Chiểu Port, the expansion of Tiên Sa Port, the North – South expressway network and Đà Nẵng International Airport, the central region is expected to become an international logistics and goods transit hub in the near future, according to the MoIT. — BIZHUB/VNA
