Published

on

The Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC) coordinated with relevant units to organise the Green Business Forum with the theme “Sustainable logistics solutions in industrial transformation: From factories to industrial parks and seaports”, on September 24.

This is an important event to promote sustainable logistics solutions, accompanying the green and sustainable economic development strategy of Ho Chi Minh City.

At the forum, experts said that in the current context, preventing and responding to climate change and reducing greenhouse effects are becoming increasingly important and a common global responsibility.

Towards the goal of “zero net emissions”, Vietnam has shaped the trend of green economic development as an inevitable goal in the development process.

Cao Thi Phi Van, IPTC Deputy Director, said that ten days ago, Ho Chi Minh City issued the Green Growth Action Plan for 2024-2030 to implement the National Strategy on Green Growth towards sustainable development in Ho Chi Minh City for 2021-2030.

Accordingly, the City aims to promote a circular economy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, respond to climate change and contribute to the goal of hunger eradication and poverty reduction, thereby creating momentum for sustainable economic growth.

At the forum, speakers focused on presenting and discussing topics on sustainable logistics and green industry development. Specifically, green finance, green growth orientation in the logistics sector, and industrial transformation practices for sustainable development in the future.

Also, at the forum, speakers proposed sustainable development solutions in the logistics industry, such as solutions related to autonomous energy and efficient means of transport, solutions from technology and integrated solutions in the logistics industry, and investors and green solution providers.

Vietnam’s central coastal province of Ninh Thuan aims to complete the site clearance for Ninh Thuan 1 nuclear power plant in 2025.

Ninh Thuan Chairman Tran Quoc Nam made the statement during an on-site visit to the designated project site on Wednesday. The “whole political system” must join hands to make the move, including relocation and livelihoods for citizens, he added.

The new residential areas for citizens to be relocated must be better than the previous ones, Nam stressed.

In 2005, Vietnam’s Party Central Committee greenlighted a plan to build two nuclear power plants in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan. Four years later, the National Assembly, the country’s legislature, okayed the plan with an initial investment of VND200 trillion ($7.9 billion at the current forex rate).

In November 2016, the parliament decided to halt the 4,000 MW project, citing safety, funding and technology reasons. In November 2024, it agreed to resume the nuclear power project in Ninh Thuan after an eight-year suspension.

In February 2025, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has assigned state-owned groups Vietnam Electricity (EVN) and Petrovietnam (PVN) to be investors of Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 nuclear power plants, respectively.

The PM also requested the Ministry of Industry and Trade to coordinate with relevant agencies to get nuclear power plants built towards completion by end-2030, or end-2031 at the latest.

As part of the National Trade Promotion Programme, the Agricultural Trade Promotion Centre of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has selected 27 of the top companies in the agricultural sector to participate in showcasing their flagship products.

The Vietnamese booth covered an area of 210 sq.m, featuring popular products with export potential that offer competition in the Japanese market such as vegetables, processed and canned fruits, cashew nuts, pepper, cinnamon, dipping sauces, rice and rice products, dairy products, and confectionery of all kinds such as cocoa and chocolate.

Nguyen Thi Yen, deputy director of the Agricultural Trade Promotion Centre, explained that companies participating in Foodex Japan are those that have already established a certain presence in the Japanese market.

“Through Foodex Japan, Vietnamese firms have the opportunity to penetrate and explore the Japanese market, thereby increasing exports of agricultural, food, and seafood products to this market,” said Yen.

The Asia Ingredients Group (AIG) introduced typical products from Vietnam at the event, such as concentrated juices, purées, canned coconut water, and dried fruits. These products are researched and produced by AIG from high-quality agricultural sources grown in renowned regions of Vietnam.

“The AIG booth has attracted the interest of partners and customers from Japan, and many other countries. This is an opportunity for us to bring our products into the supermarket system, retail chains, and food industry in Japan. Meeting the strict standards of Japan will strengthen AIG’s reputation, laying a solid foundation for international market expansion plans and contributing to enhancing the position of Vietnam’s food ingredient industry,” an AIG representative said.

In the Japanese market, AIG has a strategic partnership with Marubeni – a top Japanese trading and industrial group with a supply network in many countries around the world.
