Message from VIAC Secretary General 2026

"As VIAC marks its 32nd year of operation in 2025, I find myself reflecting on how profoundly the landscape of international arbitration has transformed - and how much VIAC itself has grown alongside it. We look back on 2025 as a year of bold decisions and purposeful action, in which VIAC advanced on multiple fronts simultaneously, both in dispute resolution activities and its active contribution to Vietnam's legal reform agenda."

Letter of VIAC President 2026

"In 2025, the global economy continued to face significant uncertainties, ranging from prolonged geopolitical tensions and inflationary pressures to supply chain disruptions and the ongoing restructuring of international trade and investment. At the same time, digital transformation and the green transition continued to reshape the way economies operate. Against this backdrop, Vietnam continued to promote international economic integration, improve its business and investment environment, and sustain positive growth momentum."
