The workshop was organized by Vietnam Law Newspaper in collaboration with Law and Development Magazine (Vietnam Lawyers Association) with the participation of 150 delegates from state management agencies, international organizations, investors, and domestic and foreign enterprises.

The workshop was organized on a large scale with 3 working sessions including: Overview of institutions and principles of "Harmonized benefits, shared risks"; ensuring the principle of "Harmonized benefits, shared risks" in specific investment fields; State management and dispute resolution from the perspective of "Harmonized benefits, shared risks".

Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Chairman of the Vietnam Lawyers Association Nguyen Khanh Ngoc said that the workshop with a highly theoretical topic - the principle of "harmonious benefits, shared risks" was analyzed and dissected from many different perspectives, applied to many areas of life and the chosen topic of the workshop was meaningful to Vietnam.

In recent years, Vietnam has achieved many achievements in improving the investment and business environment, including improving the law. The legal field with the most changes, additions and improvements is probably the field of economic and business law.

This brings the attractiveness of the investment and business environment in Vietnam, with figures and affirmations from investors. However, from practice, it can be seen that there are still some problems, shortcomings and limitations that need to be overcome.

Speaking at the Workshop, Mr. Pham Duc An, Chairman of the Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee, highly appreciated the creative approach of the Workshop, especially in the context of the law increasingly empowering local authorities, in the spirit of "local decision - local action - local responsibility"; at the same time, emphasizing that consensus between the State and investors is a prerequisite for building trust and promoting sustainable development.

In the first quarter of 2025 alone, Quang Ninh grew by 10.91%, ranking 7th in the country, meeting the set requirements. In 2025, Quang Ninh achieved a growth target of 14%, so organizing this workshop with a very new and creative approach will be the basis for Quang Ninh to learn and effectively implement the set goals, especially in the context of the economy having strong fluctuations like today.

The Chairman of the Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee hopes that in the coming time, there will be more seminars on building and perfecting laws and institutions held in Quang Ninh, thereby helping the locality to effectively promote all legal policies in the process of socio-economic development.

At the Workshop, delegates exchanged and discussed issues surrounding the determination of the content and value of the principle of "harmonious benefits, shared risks" in attracting investment for national development in the context of many fluctuations in domestic and international investment activities; opportunities and challenges, especially from unfavorable external and internal factors that have lasted for many years in current Vietnamese law, especially in the Investment Law, Public Investment Law, Law on Investment under the form of public-private partnership, and Bidding Law.

The workshop was organized to identify the driving values and barriers in the current institutional framework for direct investment, towards realizing the principle of "Harmonious benefits, shared risks" in the context of investment activities regulated by many new laws.

From the shortcomings and limitations, the workshop proposed solutions to promote the principle of "Harmonious benefits, shared risks", perfecting institutions to attract domestic and international investors for the next strong development stage of the country, a strategy to bring the country into a new era, an era of national growth.
