Analysis of Vietnam's Four Newly "Pillar" Resolutions and Perspective on Development Experience from Korea

This paper analyzes Vietnam's four groundbreaking resolutions adopted between December 2024 and May 2025, which collectively represent a paradigm shift in the country's development strategy. These resolutions target science and technology innovation (Resolution 57-NQ/TW), international integration (Resolution 59- NQ/TW), legal system innovation (Resolution 66-NQ/TW), and private sector development (Resolution 68- NQ/TW). Drawing parallels with South Korea's remarkable economic transformation from the 1960s to the present, this study examines how Vietnam's new policy framework mirrors successful Korean development strategies while adapting to contemporary global challenges. The analysis reveals significant opportunities for Vietnam-Korea cooperation in technology transfer, private sector development, and institutional capacity building. Our findings suggest that Vietnam's comprehensive reform approach, combined with comprehensive strategic partnerships with Korea, could accelerate its transition to a knowledge-based economy and strengthen its position in global value chains.
