LAND LAW 2024 DISSEMINATED TO VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY ABROAD
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese (SCOV) in coordination with the Hanoi Bar Association organised a conference on June 27 to popularise regulations and laws regarding the Land Law 2024 of Vietnam to overseas Vietnamese (OVs).
The event was connected online to embassies and consulates general in European countries, as well as some agencies in Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong, among others.
SCOV Vice Chairman Nguyen Manh Dong said this activity aims to realise the Party's guidelines and State's policies and laws related to OVs through providing legal information, especially newly-passed laws that directly relate to OVs.
On this occasion, legal regulations on conditions for owning houses and land in the UK were also disseminated to support Vietnamese expats with necessary information in case of relocating their lives, thus avoiding risks.
Dong stated that his office wishes to continue receiving contributions from OVs in the implementation of the Land Law 2024 in particular and legal regulations in general.
The committee will continue to coordinate with the Hanoi Bar Association and relevant agencies to introduce policies and laws of Vietnam, and those of several other countries in areas that Vietnamese expats are interested in or directly related to their lives, he added.
Under the Land Law 2024, OVs have the same rights and obligations to use land and the same access to land as Vietnamese citizens in the homeland, and Vietnamese citizens and those of the Vietnamese origin residing abroad are eligible to own land use rights at home.

VIETNAM'S MANUFACTURING STORY HAS CHANGED IN 2026

VIETNAM NEEDS OVER $200BN FROM STOCK MARKET IN NEXT 5 YEARS
Speaking at the event, Bui Hoang Hai, vice-chairman of the State Securities Commission of Vietnam, said total investment demand in the 2026-30 period is estimated at VND38,000 trillion ($1.4 trillion). The state budget can only provide approximately VND8,500 trillion ($323 billion), or 20 percent, leaving the remaining 80 percent to be sourced from private and international capital.
HUNG YEN BUILDS DIGITAL FOUNDATIONS TO DRIVE LONG-TERM GROWTH

CHINESE INVESTMENT WAVE OPENS NEW DOORS
As Chinese companies move beyond factory relocation to ecosystem-driven investment, Vietnam has a rare opportunity to evolve from a low-cost production base into a strategic node in regional value chains. When global companies first diversified supply chains, the focus was largely on relocating manufacturing capacity.
VIỆT NAM STEPS UP EXPORT TO ACHIEVE US$550-BILLION TARGET
Việt Nam is intensifying efforts to sustain export momentum in the second half of 2026 as the country works towards its target of US$550 billion in export revenue for the year, despite continuing uncertainties in global trade. Statistics show that exports reached $266.5 billion in the first six months, meaning the economy needs to generate around $245.5 billion more during the remainder of the year to meet the annual goal.
ASIA POWERS VIETNAM’S SHRIMP BOOM, LEAVING THE WEST BEHIND
In the first half of 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports surpassed the US$2.3 billion mark, driven largely by booming demand from China and a lobster craze. But behind that growth figure lies a lopsided picture: Asia is carrying the load, while the U.S. and Europe have yet to break out. These days, a container of frozen shrimp leaving a Ho Chi Minh City port is more likely to cross the East Vietnam Sea to Shanghai than the Pacific to Los Angeles.
