2025 UNITED NATIONS IN VIET NAM ANNUAL RESULTS REPORT

"On its 80th anniversary of nationhood, 2025 marked a historic turning point for Viet Nam’s development trajectory. With preparations underway for the 14th National Party Congress Resolution, the country affirmed a bold, people‑centered vision for the 2026–2030 period—anchored in inclusive human development, deepening governance reforms, and large‑scale investments in innovation, green transformation, and digital advancement. This long‑term agenda reflects Viet Nam’s determination to safeguard development gains, strengthen resilience to emerging risks, and steadily advance toward its aspirational milestone of becoming a high‑income country by 2045.

In this dynamic context, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Viet Nam worked closely with the country’s government throughout 2025 to ensure that the UN development system is fit‑for‑purpose in responding to the nation’s evolving needs. Guided by the Secretary‑General’s UN80 initiative, the UNCT continued to enhance coherence, deliver as one, and ensure the multilateral system’s full potential was calibrated to drive momentum towards achievement of Viet Nam’s national priorities.

As Viet Nam moves into a new phase of high ambition and strategic transformation, the UN stands ready to deepen its role as a trusted, forward‑looking partner. Together with the Government of Viet Nam, development partners, civil society, and communities, we will build on the momentum of 2025 to advance inclusive growth, climate‑resilient development, and Leave No One Behind—supporting Viet Nam’s steady progress towards becoming a sustainable, resilient, high‑income country by 2045."
