At the event, Professor Nguyen Duc Khuong, Chairman of AVSE Global, stated that the VGL Forum has been held twice, in 2019 and 2024, with the themes “Vietnam National Brand – Elevating the National Brand” and “Vietnam Rising Amidst Turbulence”, respectively. Through these forums, numerous recommendations and advice have been developed, aligned with Vietnam's key strategic programs.
According to Professor Nguyen Duc Khuong, the year 2026 holds special significance as Vietnam approaches two important historical milestones: the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 2030 and the 100th anniversary of the country's independence in 2045. This is a time to prepare long-term development directions, mobilizing strength from within the country and the overseas Vietnamese community.

Gathering 100 influential Vietnamese from nearly 30 countries
According to Dr. Dinh Thanh Huong, Executive Director of Knowledge and Projects at AVSE Global, the core mission of the VGL Forum is to connect high-level knowledge and transform that knowledge into concrete actions through strategic reports, consulting activities, forums, and development research projects.
The VGL Forum 2026 is expected to gather approximately 100 influential Vietnamese and Vietnamese descendants, selected from various fields, from nearly 30 countries. The forum will also feature the participation of leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, and representatives from domestic and international organizations, creating a multidimensional dialogue space and connecting resources across borders.
Guests are divided into five main groups, including leaders of major corporations; economists, investors, and major fund owners; influential individuals in culture, society, and sports; figures with influence in social and political life, including former international leaders; and experts, those influential in ideas and thought.
Notably, the Organizing Committee pays special attention to the “Emerging Vietnam Global Leaders” category, aiming to honor the young generation of leaders, ensuring continuity between generations and preparing human resources for the country's development vision by 2045.
The program focuses on five main content areas: people; social values; culture and history; science and technology; growth and prosperity. According to the Organizing Committee, the story of Vietnam 2045 is not just about economic growth targets but also about building a society with ambitious, resilient people, a culture rich in identity, an advanced knowledge system, and an increasingly high quality of life.
