Vingroup inaugurates and breaks ground on six major projects nationwide to celebrate Vietnam's 80th national day
HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire – 19 August 2025 – To mark the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Vingroup inaugurated and broke ground on six major projects across the country. The highlight was the inauguration ceremony of the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Dong Anh, Hanoi, alongside five other landmark projects in the fields of socio-economic infrastructure, transportation, industry, urban development, and tourism in Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, Ha Tinh, Tay Ninh, and Dong Nai. The General Secretary, the Prime Minister, and other delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the National Exhibition and Convention Center – a key national project. These events form part of the official national program to inaugurate and commence construction of projects celebrating the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025). The inauguration of the National Exhibition and Convention Center at Tu Lien Bridge Road, Dong Anh, Hanoi, served as the central venue of the program, with the attendance of General Secretary To Lam, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, members and former members of the Politburo, members of the Party Central Committee, as well as current and former leaders of the Party, the State, and heads of central and local ministries and agencies. Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the National Exhibition and Convention Center, completed in just under 10 months, is poised to become a space that will foster the development of Vietnam's cultural and entertainment industries. The Prime Minister praised the determination of enterprises, particularly private ones, in building and developing national infrastructure with the spirit: "What we say, we do. What we commit, we deliver. Once we act and commit, there must be tangible results. And today, we have proved this." Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also affirmed that these projects demonstrate Vietnam's determination to achieve self-reliance and master technology in socio-economic infrastructure development, creating projects in Vietnam, for Vietnam, and by the Vietnamese people. "I hope that we will see more iconic projects of Vietnam, admired and recognized by friends across the region and around the world," the Prime Minister said. The National Exhibition and Convention Center spans more than 900,000 m², positioned to become the largest exhibition complex in Southeast Asia and one of the Top 10 largest in the world. At the core of the complex is the iconic Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, featuring a colossal 24,000-ton steel dome, 56 meters high, inspired by the legendary Golden Turtle God (Kim Quy) whose myth is closely linked with the heritage site of Co Loa. Covering approximately 130,000 m², the Kim Quy Hall comprises nine major exhibition halls and one central grand hall, offering an ideal space for specialized exhibitions and large-scale events, with versatile layouts optimized for diverse displays. The exhibition ecosystem also includes a permanent exhibition center (Block A), four outdoor exhibition areas (East – West – South – North), and VinPalace Co Loa, the largest international convention center in Vietnam, covering 16,800 m² with 12 banquet and conference halls that can host events from several hundred to over 5,000 guests. Complementary facilities include landscaped parks and lakes, a food court of over 3,000 m², and parking areas spanning more than 18 hectares, accommodating over 10,000 vehicles. After an accelerated construction period of just 10 months, the National Exhibition and Convention Center has officially been inaugurated and is ready to host the national milestone event celebrating the 80th National Independence Day: the exhibition"80 Years of Independence – Freedom – Happiness." The second project site was the inauguration of the May Chai Bridge (Royal Bridge) and its approach roads, part of the Vinhomes Royal Island project in Hai Phong. Spanning nearly 2.2 km in length and 21 meters in width with four lanes, the bridge connects Vu Yen Island with Le Thanh Tong Street, reducing travel time to the city center to under five minutes. With its twin arch towers symbolizing both soaring wings and a welcoming "World Gateway Bridge," the Royal Bridge is set to become a new landmark of Hai Phong, embodying openness to investment and economic opportunities. The third project site was the groundbreaking of an 18-hole international-standard golf course in Quang Hanh, Quang Ninh, covering 100 hectares. Nestled among natural forests with views of both mountains and Ha Long Bay, the course was designed under the philosophy of environmental preservation by renowned contemporary golf course designer Doug Carrick. Once operational, it will elevate Quang Ninh's reputation in tourism and sports. The fourth project site marked the start of construction on the Vinhomes Industrial Park in Vung Ang, Ha Tinh. Located on lots CN4 and CN5 of the Vung Ang Economic Zone, the project spans nearly 965 hectares, making it one of the largest in the region, with modern, synchronized infrastructure including factories, ports, and logistics facilities. The project is set to attract leading national and regional enterprises in industry, high technology, logistics, and exports—driving local economic growth and enabling Vietnamese enterprises to expand globally. The fifth project site was the groundbreaking of the Phuoc Vinh Tay New Urban Area in Tay Ninh, covering 1,089.6 hectares. Developed as an eco-smart sustainable city, it will feature a complete ecosystem of education, healthcare, commerce, and services, positioning it as one of the province's most significant future urban developments. The sixth project site was the commencement of Component Project 1: Construction of the Western North-South Expressway, Gia Nghia (Dak Nong) – Chon Thanh (Binh Phuoc) section, passing through Dong Nai province. The expressway spans 124.13 km (23.1 km in Dak Nong, 101.03 km in Binh Phuoc), designed for a full six-lane scale. Strategically, it will connect the Central Highlands with the Southeast region, particularly Dak Nong and Binh Phuoc with Ho Chi Minh City, unlocking regional economic potential and creating new growth momentum. By simultaneously inaugurating and breaking ground on national-scale infrastructure projects across six provinces and cities, Vingroup reaffirms its pioneering role in strengthening Vietnam's internal capabilities. These projects reflect the spirit of innovation and progress in the nation's 80-year journey of independence, renewal, and global integration.

Live PM Wong at National Day Rally 2025
14:30 Securing S'pore's economic future amid uncertainty With the global economy expected to remain troubled for some time, PM Wong is likely to elaborate on how Singapore plans to strengthen its competitiveness, deepen its capabilities and secure its future. Earlier in August, five committees – each headed by two political office-holders – were formed to look at different aspects of the economy, including competitiveness, technology and entrepreneurship. While the Republic's economy has been resilient so far, the outlook remains highly uncertain, he noted in his National Day Message on Aug 8. Singapore will have to look at applying new technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics meaningfully across the economy. While this transition may cause some disruption, the Government will expand opportunities for learning and skills upgrading, strengthen social safety nets and help those facing setbacks to bounce back, he said.

The long-termists: Lessons from GIC's pioneers relevant as ever
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Singapore's reserves were not built in a day. Here's how Yong Pung How and Lee Ek Tieng moulded GIC to manage them. Though the pioneers are no longer among us, the writer hopes that the GIC of today remains a continuation of their vision and values. Every year, National Day invites us to reflect on Singapore's remarkable journey and the people who made it possible. At GIC, this day reminds us of the work done by our founding leaders and their teams who shaped our mission: to secure Singapore's financial future by preserving and enhancing the international purchasing power of our reserves over the long term. These pioneers laid the foundations for Singapore's economic security. The late Mr Lim Kim San once said that financial security was the cornerstone of a nation's sovereignty – the ability to be the 'master of its own fate'. This conviction still guides us today. Our reserves have been built up prudently over the decades, giving Singapore a buffer to weather crises ranging from the Asian financial crisis to the global financial crisis to the Covid-19 pandemic. But the reserves are more than a rainy-day fund. They are also, as the CNA documentary Singapore Reserves Revealed described in 2023, a 'secret weapon' for nation-building – funding, for example, public infrastructure or supporting land reclamation projects. These capabilities were made possible by the foresight and discipline of the early stewards of the reserves. The founding of GIC has been well documented. We are a brainchild of Dr Goh Keng Swee, who envisioned a bold future under the aegis of our founding chairman, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. But vision alone was not enough – it needed the right people to bring it to life, and Dr Goh enlisted a few trusted individuals. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed. Singapore Over 100 people being investigated for vape offences, say MOH and HSA Singapore Bukit Merah fire: Residents relocated as town council carries out restoration works Singapore askST: What to do in the event of a fire at home Singapore Jalan Bukit Merah fire: PMD battery could have started fatal blaze, says SCDF Singapore askST: What are the fire safety rules for PMDs? Asia AirAsia flight from KL to Incheon lands at wrong airport in South Korea Asia India and China work to improve ties amid Trump's unpredictability Singapore From quiet introvert to self-confident student: How this vulnerable, shy teen gets help to develop and discover her strength Among them was Dr Yong Pung How – no stranger to Singaporeans as our second chief justice but who, in 1981, was better known as a veteran banker. Dr Yong took on the challenge of building a global investment organisation from the ground up in two years, establishing legal structures, governance, talent, systems and strategy. He recruited GIC's first investment managers and helped to develop a robust governance framework with the ministries. Though Dr Yong never sought attention, those who worked with him recall his exacting standards, clarity of mind and genuine concern for people. He built something enduring by defining GIC's purpose from the start. Dr Yong advised incorporating GIC as a private limited company, wholly owned by the Government, to manage, but not own, the foreign reserves under its charge. This avoided complications from owning foreign assets and safeguarded the reserves entrusted to GIC from the outset. While Dr Yong later went on to serve as chief justice, his legacy to Singapore began long before that – in a modest office, working late into the night, building the plumbing and wiring of an organisation to protect and grow the country's reserves. Thinking long-term With the foundations laid, Mr Lee Ek Tieng joined GIC as group managing director to build on them. Mr Lee, who sadly passed away this April, is best remembered as the 'green general of Mr Lee Kuan Yew', transforming our built environment as the first permanent secretary for the Ministry of the Environment. But his contributions to Singapore's economic resilience were equally vital. In his typical unassuming manner, he met the demands of the moment, while keeping a clear vision for the long road ahead – critical in protecting and growing the reserves in a fast-changing investment landscape. Under his leadership, GIC expanded its global footprint, ventured into emerging markets ahead of the curve, and developed new capabilities in private markets to navigate a more complex world. By diversifying into private markets and building a global reach, he reinforced the resilience of the portfolio and, by extension, the reserves placed under GIC's management against external shocks. What stood out most about Mr Lee, though, was his warmth. Over 30 years ago, as a young investment officer, I experienced it through simple gestures, like his words of encouragement or genuine interest in the well-being of staff of all levels. I witnessed his acts of empowerment not through elaborate processes or grand speeches, but through verified trust. He took the time to get to know you and, once confident in your character and work quality, gave you the space to excel. His commitment to values like prudence, respect and collaboration helped shape GIC's culture in ways that still resonate today. Alongside them were other key figures – Mr J.Y. Pillay, Mr Lim Siong Guan, Mr Ng Kok Song and more – whose steady hands and principled approach strengthened GIC's foundations in governance, people and global investing. They never lost sight of the importance of staying long-term, doing what's right and not what is easy, for the singular purpose of ensuring Singapore would have the financial strength to weather storms and seize opportunities. Their long-term perspective continues to be our anchor. The decisions we make today may only bear fruit years from now. It's a lesson grasped by our early leaders that we continue to honour. Lessons still relevant Today, we face foundational shifts – profound changes that are harder to predict and prepare for: artificial intelligence, the climate crisis and unprecedented geoeconomic fragmentation. In such times, it can be tempting for a fund manager to chase the short-term hype or retreat into excessive caution. At GIC, we do neither. Our response draws directly from the strengths of our founding leaders: Dr Goh's bold vision, Dr Yong's clarity of purpose, Mr Lee's global perspective, and the prudence, long-term thinking and discipline of all our early stewards. It enables us to ride through cycles, avoid overreaching for returns, and remain steady when others are unsettled. We stay focused on building long-term value and avoiding 'permanent impairment' – the kind of loss that is very hard, or even impossible, to recover from. We take an 'inversion' approach to risk – thinking about problems in reverse and studying the typical causes of permanent impairment so we can steer clear of them. Historically, such losses have come from weak business fundamentals, having to sell early to repay debts, external shocks, or even fraud. We work hard to guard against such pitfalls. Less obvious but equally damaging is overpaying. History offers many reminders: the Japan stock market bubble in the late 1980s, the crash in the early 2000s, and the repeated bursts of meme stock bubbles in recent years. In these cases, even if prices eventually recovered, the time lost would have been too great. This is why we remain disciplined on price. For Singaporeans, these principles are more than an investment philosophy – they reflect our country's ethos of long-termism. Our founding leaders approached every endeavour with the intent to make it endure for generations. This National Day, we remember not just how GIC began, but why it was established – and who made it possible. Dr Goh had the foresight to imagine a different path. Dr Yong had the resolve to build it. Mr Lee had the skill to grow it. Each of them served with humility and dedication, handing down something precious: a clear purpose and a culture of integrity. Along with many others, playing roles both big and small, these pioneers contributed to growing the reserves and, in turn, securing Singapore's financial future. We are fortunate to inherit this foundation, and though they are no longer among us, we hope that the GIC of today remains a continuation of their vision and values. Many key institutions in Singapore share similar origin stories – visionary leaders and dedicated teams united by a shared purpose and the spirit of public service. In this respect, GIC is not unique. However, remembering our past and recounting our stories deepens our understanding of how we got here today, and offers valuable lessons and inspiration for tomorrow. Happy SG60. Lim Chow Kiat is the chief executive officer of Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, GIC.
