In the context where certain limitations persist in implementation of Resolution 55-NQ/TW dated February 11, 2020 of the Politburo on the strategic orientation for Viet Nam’s national energy development through 2030 with a vision to 2045 (Resolution 55), and it is difficult to achieve many of the targets set forth, on August 20, 2025, the Politburo issued Resolution 70-NQ/TW on ensuring national energy security through 2030, with a vision to 2045 (Resolution 70) to introduce comprehensive and breakthrough policies and guidelines for ensuring national energy security in the new era, creating opportunities for the private sector to participate in national energy development. According to Resolution 70, firmly ensuring national energy security is the foundation and crucial prerequisite for national development. In order to achieve the set objectives, the Politburo has identified seven key task and solution groups to be implemented, of which strongly encouraging private sector’s participation in energy development is a key outstanding aspect.
