From Laojie Province to Jin'ou Province, the north-south highways are closely connecting this narrow land; In the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, the tower lights of Long Thanh International Airport have begun to flicker in the night sky; Hanoi's smart transportation system is capturing the pulse of every road in real-time. On December 19, 2025, with the simultaneous promotion of 234 major infrastructure projects, Vietnam is announcing a new cycle of national development with a "Infrastructure Parade" - not only an unprecedented wave of construction, but also an industrial invitation from this Southeast Asian emerging economy to the world.

Shaping a new economic artery

Vietnam's infrastructure is achieving a historic leap: the total length of highways has exceeded 3800 kilometers, and the five-year construction volume is close to the total of the past decade; Longcheng International Airport will be put into operation in 2026, with an annual designed throughput of 25 million passengers; The old street Hanoi Haiphong railway that runs through the north and south has officially started construction, directly connecting the China Vietnam border and deep-water ports. This multi-dimensional infrastructure upgrade covering transportation, energy, digital and other aspects is laying a "hard skeleton" for efficient circulation of the national economy.

Accelerating foreign investment layout

A well-developed infrastructure network has become a key chip in attracting investment from the manufacturing industry. In the first three quarters of 2025, foreign investment in Vietnam's manufacturing industry increased by nearly 17% year-on-year, and the electronics industry has contributed over a quarter of the country's GDP. With an increasingly sound logistics system and cost advantages, Vietnam is becoming an important carrier of global industrial chain transfer, attracting international leading enterprises such as Samsung, GoerTek, BYD, etc. to continue expanding their layout and forming an industrial agglomeration effect.

Release new growth momentum

It is worth noting that in this round of infrastructure investment, private capital participation exceeded 75%, and market forces became the main driving force for construction. This not only effectively alleviates the financial pressure on the government, but also improves project efficiency and sustainability through market-oriented operation. Large scale infrastructure investment has directly driven economic growth - Vietnam's GDP growth rate reached 7.52% in the first half of 2025, a new high in 15 years, with the industrial and construction industries contributing over 43%, demonstrating the strong driving effect of infrastructure on the economy.
