Vietnam sets clear timelines for APEC 2027 hosting preparations

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung underscored the need for clear timelines in preparing for Vietnam's hosting of APEC 2027, stressing that a successful summit—particularly the Economic Leaders' Week—will demonstrate Vietnam's capacity on the regional stage and strengthen connections with international partners.

The premier highlighted how the summit presents an opportunity to leverage global resources for socio-economic development across the country, with benefits extending to local communities and businesses. APEC 2027 is expected to serve as a platform for advancing Vietnam's economic agenda and attracting international investment and cooperation.

Preparations are already underway across multiple fronts. The World Economic Forum has signaled readiness to mobilize support for Vietnam's hosting efforts, while An Giang province has intensified security and healthcare readiness measures. Additionally, Vietnam is positioning the summit to advance priorities including green agriculture and food security, aligning with regional development goals.

The establishment of clear implementation timelines reflects Vietnam's determination to deliver a high-level summit that meets international standards while maximizing benefits for the country's development objectives.
