Vietnam is positioning itself to leverage APEC 2027 as a platform for advancing workforce integration and regional trade expansion, according to the country's Deputy Foreign Minister. By hosting the forum, Vietnam will contribute to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation's core objectives of facilitating trade and investment while promoting sustainable growth across member economies.
The country's capacity to deliver on this vision hinges on comprehensive infrastructure preparation. Phu Quoc island has emerged as a focal point for development efforts, with authorities in An Giang province accelerating construction of multimodal transportation facilities to meet the demands of the 2027 summit. Plans for upgrading Phu Quoc airport are being adjusted to accommodate the increased traffic expected during the forum.
Vietnam's infrastructure push aims to enhance regional connectivity and productivity while creating tangible business opportunities and employment for people throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The investments reflect Hanoi's commitment to delivering a successful and impactful APEC summit that strengthens regional economic cooperation and demonstrates Vietnam's growing role as a regional economic hub.
