Vietnam affirms commitment to global ocean protection efforts

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh affirmed Vietnam’s commitment to being a trusted partner, ready to join global efforts to protect the oceans, at Plenary Session 4 of the Blue Economy and Finance Forum held in the Principality of Monaco on June 8.

The forum was part of the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC 3), scheduled for June 9-13 in Nice.

The Plenary Session 4 aims to mobilize large-scale financial resources to restore ocean health and accelerate the transition to a sustainable, regenerative blue economy. Representatives from Norway, Chile, Germany and others pledged to mobilize both public and private investment for this goal, laying the groundwork for a future that connects human progress with environmental preservation.

In his remarks, the Vietnamese Government leader thanked Prince Albert II of Monaco for hosting the forum, saying that the event reflects solidarity among nations and the private sector in regenerating the ocean economy.

He stressed that the ocean is not only a source of resources but also the origin of life and a vital connection between people and nature across all countries. For Vietnam, its more than 3,000 kilometers of coastline is not just a geographic reality, it is part of the nation’s cultural identity and spirit. Developing the marine economy in a sustainable and effective way is a strategic choice and an essential requirement for Vietnam to chart its future and realize its vision of becoming a strong maritime nation and a high-income country by 2045.

PM Chinh noted that while oceans cover 70% of the earth's surface, sustainable use and conservation receive the lowest level of investment among the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. He called this a paradox and a serious warning. Now more than ever, he said, countries must work together through inclusive, comprehensive and global cooperation.

Advocating fairness, equality, inclusion and sustainability, he outlined the following proposals: “Step up investment in marine science research and applications; promote technology transfer, joint research and experience sharing; and build a comprehensive ocean data system. Increase resource mobilization and ensure efficient, sustainable investment in the blue economy.

Let governments take the lead, businesses drive innovation, and people join hands. International organizations should play a catalytic role, and developed countries should offer support to shape a green ocean finance ecosystem. Vietnam is ready to pilot this model.

Enhance connectivity across continents, regions, and nations, and strengthen global ocean governance. The United Nations should take a central role, international law should serve as the foundation, and cooperation should be the key driver.”

To build blue growth hubs and link key economic centers, PM Chinh said Vietnam is ready to participate and make positive contributions to the development of this network in the East Sea, a strategic sea area of the world, cited VOV.

“Although countries differ in political systems, development levels and cultural traditions, we share a common mission-to preserve the ocean as a vital space for life and sustainable development for today and for future generations.

As a maritime nation, Vietnam pledges to be a reliable partner in global ocean protection. We pledge to join efforts in leading green and sustainable marine cooperation, and we stand ready to contribute to fair and sustainable blue finance initiatives,” he said.

In his closing remarks, French President Emmanuel Macron commended countries’ efforts in ocean protection, including those of Vietnam. He echoed and reviewed the views expressed by PM Pham Minh Chinh and other national leaders attending the forum, stressing that ocean protection is not only an environmental issue but also a political, economic, scientific and ethical one. What matters most, he said, is that every country, every business, scientist and individual must join hands to take action.

Wrapping up the forum, Prince Albert II of Monaco emphasized that the two-day event had seen strong and concrete commitments from countries along with specific solutions for sustainable ocean governance. These include appropriate tools to break the cycle of ocean degradation, such as ecosystem-respecting fisheries and the advancement of a new blue economy driven by biotechnology and the creation of new value.

Vietnamese PM meets with Jordanian King on UNOC 3 sidelines

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on June 8 met with Jordanian King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein on the sidelines of the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC 3) in Nice, France.

PM Chinh affirmed that Vietnam attaches importance to multifaceted cooperation with Jordan. He recalled his meeting with the Crown Prince of Jordan on the occasion of attending the 8th Future Investment Initiative Conference in October 2024, in which the two sides discussed many measures to promote bilateral relations.

On this occasion, PM Chinh conveyed the greetings and invitations from Party General Secretary To Lam, State President Luong Cuong and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man to the Jordanian King to visit Vietnam soon.

Pleased to meet PM Chinh, King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein expressed his admiration for Vietnam's socio-economic development achievements and strong rise as well as the hardworking and diligent Vietnamese people.

The two sides agreed to increase the exchange of delegations at all levels, especially high-level ones, to enhance political trust; and consider negotiating and signing a number of cooperation agreements on trade, investment and other fields, according to VNA.

PM Chinh suggested the two countries soon establish bilateral cooperation mechanisms, including a political consultation mechanism between the two foreign ministries; and study the negotiation and signing of a visa exemption agreement for diplomatic and official passport holders to facilitate delegation exchanges and exchanges between the two countries. He affirmed that Vietnam is ready to cooperate in agriculture and support Jordan in ensuring food security, and collaborate in digital transformation.

King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein welcomed the proposals of PM Chinh, and expressed his wish that the two sides would strengthen cooperation in science and technology, human resource training, cooperation in dealing with the consequences of bombs and mines, and support the production of artificial limbs.

The two leaders agreed to direct relevant ministries and sectors to speed up legal procedures to sign bilateral agreements within the framework of the upcoming visit to Vietnam by the Jordanian King.

On this occasion, the two leaders also discussed enhancing coordination at multilateral forums as well as international and regional issues of mutual concern. PM Chinh proposed Jordan continue supporting the stance of ASEAN and Vietnam on resolving disputes by peaceful means, and ensuring security and safety of navigation in the East Sea in accordance with international law.

Flexible adaptability fuels strong export growth

According to the General Statistics Office under the Ministry of Finance, Vietnam’s total export value in May 2025 reached US$39.6 billion, up 5.7% from April and 17% year-on-year. In the first five months of 2025, exports totaled US$180.23 billion, an increase of 14% compared to the same period from last year.

In the textile and garment sector, businesses reported stable orders and markets. Pham Van Viet, Chairman of the Board at Viet Thang Jean Co., Ltd, said the company is expediting shipments to the US before July 1. Consumption in Southeast Asia is stronger than in the EU, and the industry is aiming for double-digit growth this year.

Despite facing ongoing global economic uncertainties and weaker demand, enterprises said export performance has improved compared to last year, thanks to product diversification, market expansion, production improvement, and better resource optimization.

In agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, export earnings during the January-May period hit US$28.04 billion, up 15.1% year-on-year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.

Le Duc Huy, Chairman of the Members’ Council at Simexco Daklak, said the company’s coffee exports rose by 60–70% over the five-month period. Export volumes held steady while prices surged, and Vietnamese Robusta continued to be well-regarded in EU markets.

Pushing for greener, higher-value exports

Experts believe export prospects remain positive in the second half of the year, though the global outlook is still clouded by policy uncertainty, trade tensions, and inflation risks.

Le Duc Huy said the company is focused on quality improvement, working closely with supply chains to develop Vietnamese specialty coffee, especially Robusta, to meet rising and more demanding consumer expectations.

In textiles, Pham Van Viet noted that alongside traditional products, his company is expanding into eco-friendly, recycled, and high-value items to strengthen the value chain and reach untapped markets, VOV reported.

Vietnam is now among the world’s top three textile exporters, contributing 9% of the global fashion industry’s value. However, the sector still relies heavily on traditional manufacturing, which limits productivity and competitiveness. Viet called for more concrete government support policies for supporting industries and the development of green, high-tech production.

In the coffee sector, prices have hit a 47-year high since the start of the 2023–2024 harvest. But the industry still lacks a long-term development strategy.

Nguyen Nam Hai, Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA), said the sector must embrace reform, restructuring, and science and technology breakthroughs. Innovation and digital transformation, he added, are key to improving productivity, lowering costs, and enhancing competitiveness against global rivals.

EVFTA helps strengthen strategic trust between Vietnam, EU: Brussels seminar

The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) holds multifaceted significance in strategic political and socio-economic terms for both sides, as it has further strengthened the strategic trust that has been built between Vietnam and the EU over the past 35 years and served as an important instrument for connecting the two continents, according to Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang.

Addressing a seminar themed “EVFTA: 5 Years of Implementation and beyond,” held in Brussels on June 6 by the Vietnamese Embassy in Belgium and the Vietnamese Mission to the European Union, Hang said that the EVFTA is likened to a “modern expressway” that has strongly promoted trade relations between the two sides, and also helped enhance Vietnam’s position as an attractive investment destination in the region.

The commitments within the trade deal, particularly those related to intellectual property, the environment, labour, and sustainable development, have driven institutional reforms and the improvement of Vietnam’s legal system in line with international standards, thereby fostering a more transparent and open business environment, she added.

At the seminar, speakers discussed the impact of the agreement on both Vietnam and the EU, as well as the bilateral relations over the past five years, highlighting achievements, existing challenges, and lessons learned. They also assessed the evolving international and regional contexts and proposed several solutions to further enhance the effective implementation of the EVFTA in the next five-year period, from 2025 to 2030.

Nguyen Van Thao, Vietnamese Ambassador to Belgium and head of the Vietnamese Mission to the EU, emphasised that over the past five years, the EVFTA has proven to be a vital instrument for economic cooperation, especially in the context of major global upheavals that occurred shortly after the agreement came into effect, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and rising geopolitical tensions.

The deal has not only strongly boosted trade and investment relations between Vietnam and the EU but also contributed to mitigating disruptions in global supply chains. However, the ambassador also noted that, along with the positive outcomes achieved, the potential for bilateral cooperation, as well as the untapped opportunities within the EVFTA, remain substantial and should be further promoted in the coming period, cited VNA.

According to the diplomat, the economic structures of Vietnam and the EU are complementary rather than competitive, which helps expand the scope for cooperation, especially in a global context where supply chain diversification is increasingly essential.

In addition, both sides have shown strong interest in and commitment to the bilateral relationship. The presence of over 1,400 EU enterprises operating in Vietnam, along with recent high-level visits from EU member states, underscores Vietnam’s growing importance in the EU’s regional strategy, he noted.

To fully capitalise on the above advantages, Vietnam and the EU need to focus on five strategic pillars of cooperation, the ambassador stated. The first pillar is a shared commitment to supporting a rules-based multilateral trading system that ensures fairness, transparency, and sustainability. The second involves joint efforts to diversify cooperation and international integration, with Vietnam currently being a party to 17 free trade agreements and playing a central role in the EU’s Indo-Pacific Strategy. The third focuses on enhancing cooperation in high value-added sectors such as science, technology, and innovation - areas where the EU has strengths and Vietnam has an urgent need for development. The fourth is institutional reform, infrastructure development, and human resources improvement, aimed at increasing Vietnam’s competitiveness and improving its investment environment. And the fifth is promoting EU investment, not only in terms of scale but also in depth, to strengthen economic ties and foster sustainable development.

Both Iuliu Winkler, Vice Chair of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade and Rapporteur on Vietnam–EU trade relations, and Maria Martin-Prat De Abreu, Deputy Director-General for Trade and Economic Security at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Trade, affirmed that Vietnam and the EU currently share many common priorities and development orientations, particularly in areas such as green growth, enhancing competitiveness, and sustainable development, with a strong focus on high technology.

The EVFTA has not only brought bilateral benefits but also been considered one of the EU’s successful free trade agreements. While there are still some challenges and obstacles in the implementation process, the EU hopes that, based on the strong foundation of the existing partnership and the EVFTA, both sides will continue to expand cooperation, especially in trade and investment, they stated.

On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the EU hopes to work with Vietnam toward upgrading the relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, and also reaffirms its commitment to being a reliable partner, ready to closely cooperate with Vietnam to promote free trade and enhance the effective implementation of the EVFTA in the coming period.

North Vietnam faces more storms, East Sea may see tropical cyclone

Scattered showers and thunderstorms have already hit the Northwest and Viet Bac regions, with some areas experiencing heavy to extremely heavy rainfall. From 7 p.m. on June 6 to 7 a.m. this morning (June 7), Bac Quang in Ha Giang saw 162mm of rain, while Thach Lam in Cao Bang recorded 62.6mm.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, more showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected across the northern mountainous and midland regions tonight, with rainfall ranging from 15-30mm, and some areas possibly exceeding 70mm.

The South Central Coast, Central Highlands, and southern provinces are also forecast to see showers and storms this evening, with some localized areas receiving 20-40mm of rain, and others over 80mm.

Thunderstorms may bring tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts. Intense rainfall could trigger flash floods in small rivers and streams, landslides on slopes, and flooding in low-lying areas.

Weather systems and regional outlooks

Meteorological centers in the southern and Central Highlands regions report that an intertropical convergence zone stretching from Central Vietnam to the central East Sea is developing from ground level to the 700mb pressure level. It may connect with a developing tropical cyclone near eastern Philippines. Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon over southern Vietnam is currently mild to moderate but is expected to strengthen in the coming days.

These evolving systems are driving unstable weather patterns nationwide, bringing a new rain spell in the north and persistent rain across the Central Highlands and southern regions.
