Petrovietnam Expands Development Space in Global Energy Value Chain
Implementing Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW of the Politburo on developing the foreign-invested economy, Petrovietnam is proactively transforming its approach from attracting foreign capital to creating a strategic national investment platform, expanding its development space and strengthening international investment cooperation.
In the context of deepening globalization and international integration, the implementation of Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW by the Politburo on developing the foreign-invested economy presents a significant opportunity for state-owned enterprises, including Petrovietnam, to restructure and enhance their competitive capabilities.
Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW - A Strategic Lever for Petrovietnam
Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW, adopted at the 6th Plenum of the 13th Party Central Committee, sets out strategic orientations for developing the foreign-invested economy in the new period. The resolution emphasizes a strong shift from the mindset of attracting capital to creating a strategic national investment platform, establishing an open, transparent, and effective investment and business environment.
For Petrovietnam, the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group, this resolution is not only an opportunity to attract high-quality international resources but also a driving force for the Group to proactively expand its development space, strengthen overseas investment cooperation, and gradually move up in the global energy value chain.
