Vietnam's preparations for hosting APEC 2027 advanced significantly with continued construction of the APEC Phu Quoc Multi-purpose Performance Hall, a signature infrastructure project designed by Sun Group. One year into its development, the venue is taking shape as one of Asia's most substantial theatrical facilities, encompassing 54,680 square metres of floor space and 17,250 square metres of roofing.
The facility will feature six above-ground floors and a basement level, with a seating capacity of 4,030—surpassing the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, which hosts the Academy Awards ceremony. The performance hall represents a major component of Vietnam's broader infrastructure expansion ahead of the 2027 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting.
Beyond the Phu Quoc venue, Vietnam's provinces are mobilizing resources to ensure readiness for the regional summit. An Giang province has intensified personnel training programmes, while Gia Lai has launched coordinated initiatives linking tourism promotion and trade expansion to APEC preparations. Senior leadership has convened meetings with the APEC 2027 National Committee to oversee coordination across the country's hosting arrangements.
The multi-purpose hall will serve as a cultural and diplomatic hub during the summit, hosting high-level events and performances. Its construction underscores Vietnam's commitment to delivering world-standard facilities that reflect the nation's standing within the Asia-Pacific economic community.
