Hanoi (VNA) – 💙Russia's Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening ties with Vietnam, especially in quantum technology.
Ekaterina Soltseva, Director of Quantum Technology at Rosatom, shared this commitment during an interview with the Vietnam News Agency on the sidelines of the Moscow Future Technologies Forum 2025, held on February 20-21. During the event, Rosatom showcased its latest advancements, including significant developments in quantum technology, an area considered to hold great potential for international collaboration, especially with Vietnam.
♛ Soltseva emphasised the transformative impact of quantum computing, noting its application across various sectors such as nuclear energy, pharmaceuticals, vaccine research, and the development of advanced materials. With its ability to optimise complex processes, quantum computing is expected to enhance healthcare, extend human lifespans, and improve daily life.

Currently, only a select few countries, including China, the United States, and Russia, operate quantum computers across all four major platforms: superconducting, ion, neutral atom, and photon. Russia is one of six nations that have developed quantum computers with capacities surpassing 50 qubits, with a focus on ion and neutral atom platforms.
Rosatom has expressed strong interest in fostering collaboration with Vietnam in this advanced field. As a first step, the corporation has extended an invitation to Vietnamese scientists to attend its international quantum technology conference, scheduled to take place in Moscow this July.
The conference is expected to be a key platform for deeper engagement, providing Vietnamese researchers with insights into Rosatom’s latest innovations and exploring opportunities for potential partnerships.
🍸 As cooperation between Vietnam and Russia in nuclear energy continues to grow, Rosatom’s quantum technology initiatives represent a promising area for synergy. The corporation is also working with universities worldwide to develop quantum technology training programmes, particularly within the BRICS framework, creating further opportunities for Vietnam-Russia collaboration./.
The friendship and sympathy between the Vietnamese and Russian people have overcome the test of time and political circumstances, said Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov on February 11.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov said Russia is proud to have supported heroic Vietnam during the years of fighting for freedom and independence as well as during the period of peace building.
VietNEST (Vietnamese Nurturing Education for Science & Traditions) is a mobile app and digital platform for Vietnamese language learning among overseas children.
The networks bring together universities, research institutes and domestic and foreign businesses. Members will work closely in training, research, and technology transfer by sharing curricula, improving faculty capacity, providing access to laboratories and research facilities, and jointly implementing science and technology projects.
The Better Choice Awards (BCA) 2025 is a key highlight in the lead-up to Vietnam Innovation Day that falls on October 1, an annual event expected to attract hundreds of innovative enterprises, research institutions, investment funds, and startups from both Vietnam and abroad.
The new line serves as a critical backup route, strategically complementing existing submarine cables and enhancing the resilience, proactivity, and security of Vietnam’s telecommunications infrastructure.
Vietnam is actively yet cautiously preparing for the construction of its first nuclear power plant in Ninh Thuan (now the south-central coastal province of Khanh Hoa). The resumption of the programme after years of suspension carries considerable significance for the nation’s development in a new era as it strives to gradually reduce and ultimately phase out coal-fired power to realise the Government’s commitment to Net Zero by 2050.
The government leader reaffirmed Vietnam’s goal of achieving self-reliance in the design, manufacturing, and test of necessary semiconductor chips by no later than 2027.
With the launching of its two-tier local administration model, the city is incorporating technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain to enhance service delivery for citizens and businesses, aligning with the Politburo’s Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation.
Vietnam has issued many key policies to support semiconductor development, notably the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Other initiatives include the Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2050, and the Human Resources Development Programme for the Semiconductor Industry.
Vietnam is no longer just an emerging blockchain market, it is stepping into a leadership role, with global investors, developers, and experts recognising its growing potential to become a leading hub for digital assets in the region.
Taking place on August 1–2, the event features more than 20,000 attendees and over 200 speakers from Vietnam, the h Korea, Singapore, the UAE, Hong Kong (China) and the US.
Dung directed the Ministry of Science and Technology to revise the national startup scheme, ensuring it clearly defines the scope and content, grounded on strong political and legal foundations, international best practices, and well-reasoned arguments for submission to the Government.
The two-day academic forum, themed “Resilience, Sustainability & Digital Transformation in a Changing World: Perspectives from Southeast Asia”, aims to share interdisciplinary research insights, focusing on adaptive capacity, sustainable development, and digital transformation amid evolving global and regional landscapes.
With such a rapid economic growth, Vietnam must diversify energy sources and nuclear power is a rational choice to ensure the national energy security, said Associate Professor Kei Koga from the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore).
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung emphasised that Vietnam has a clear strategy and ambition in this field, and is rapidly emerging as a central hub and key link in the regional and global semiconductor value chains.
According to Cushman & Wakefield’s latest Asia-Pacific Data Centre Investment Landscape report, Vietnam now ranks second in the region for data centre investment returns, with a yield on cost (YoC) of 17.5–18.8%, just behind Singapore’s 21–23%.
Vietnam is taking drastic yet cautious steps in building a culture of nuclear safety and security, with the aim of having its first nuclear power plant operational by the end of 2030 and using this specific energy source effectively and sustainably.
Vietnam’s 5G strategy has been clearly outlined in national digital technology and infrastructure policies. A wide range of solutions is being vigorously implemented to achieve the target of an average internet speed of 100 Mbps by 2025 and full nationwide 5G coverage by 2030.
The visit aimed to assess the new two-tier local government model, preparations for upcoming Party congresses at levels, and implementation of the Politburo’s Conclusion on school construction in border areas.
Under the theme “Breakthrough Era with the Development of Industrial Internet”, the event gathered over 400 delegates, including senior officials, leading Internet experts, and technology engineers from Vietnam and abroad.
