Through keynote remarks and multi-perspective panel discussions, the program aims to clarify Vietnam’s current standing in the regional arbitration landscape, highlight areas requiring further development to enhance credibility and competitiveness, and identify possible directions to strengthen business confidence, increase Vietnam’s attractiveness as a venue for international commercial dispute resolution, and reinforce the role of VIAC in this ongoing process.

At the same time, the event provides a platform for multi-dimensional dialogue among state authorities, domestic and international arbitration institutions, businesses, and legal practitioners.
