  "account": "Resolution 10, presented to the Vietnamese business community, marks a significant shift in how foreign investment is perceived. Rather than being measured by registered capital and job creation, investment is now recognized for its role in sustainable development and green growth. Rita Mokbel, vice-chair of NordCham Vietnam and CEO of Ericsson Vietnam, highlighted this shift, stating that foreign-invested enterprises are now seen as integral components of the national economy. This perspective aligns with the long-term approach and commitment to responsible business practices of Nordic investors, who prioritize innovation, productivity, and sustainability over sheer scale. The Nordic community has invested in Vietnamese companies such as LEGO, Pandora, and Vestas, demonstrating a preference for projects that emphasize advanced manufacturing and sustainability. This frames of reference resonates with the Nordic region, which has already undergone its own energy transition and understands that green growth does not hinder economic expansion. Vietnamese companies, including Syre and Vestas, are already implementing green initiatives such as carbon-neutral factories, renewable energy-powered operations, and textile recycling systems. These investments are driven by business sense rather than altruism, and they represent a long-term commitment to greener operations. The green transition is already underway in Vietnam, with Nordic companies investing in cleaner production, renewable energy, and efficient logistics. This aligns well with Vietnam's green ambitions, creating opportunities for collaboration and mutual benefit. Nordic companies require local suppliers, energy engineers, and environmental specialists, while Vietnamese businesses and young talent can access advanced technology and global supply chains. The success of this partnership hinges on building a stronger talent pipeline and improving innovation capacity, as emphasized by Joel Hassan, lecturer for International Business at RMIT University Vietnam. Ultimately, the quality of foreign investment that leaves the most lasting impact is the one that fosters growth, innovation, and sustainability.",
