Forty-nine years since Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - 2024), Vietnam has recorded significant progress in its socio-economic development and quality of life for its citizens has continually improved. The scale of its GDP has consistently expanded, reaching approximately 430 billion USD in 2023, making it the fifth-largest economy in ASEAN and 35th among the world’s largest 40 economies.
In its April 2024 Asian Development Outlook (ADO) report, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has maintained its earlier forecast for Vietnam’s economic growth this year, despite ongoing uncertainties from the external environment. Vietnam’s economy is expected to achieve a growth rate of 6.0% in 2024 and 6.2% in 2025.
The 10th National External Information Service Awards in 2024 continues to recognise works and products in 10 categories: video clips, initiatives and products with external information value, photos, TV broadcasts, radio broadcasts, books, print newspapers, electronic newspapers and websites in Vietnamese, and print newspapers, electronic newspapers, and websites in foreign languages.
