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.
𒊎 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.
Vietnamese businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), must embrace digital and AI transformations to remain competitive and achieve sustainable growth, experts said.
Under the European Union (EU)’s global initiative on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CoE), Vietnam has implemented numerous projects aimed at strengthening national capacity in detecting, preventing, and preparing for CBRN-related threats.
The course aims to promote knowledge exchange between scientific and educational schools from different countries, while deepening participants’ expertise in modern technology and technical education. It comprises two main specialisations of electronics-automation and nuclear technology.
ANTARA and VNA can design global-scale cooperation programmes or joint media campaigns, demonstrating the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Indonesia, as well as the cooperation between the two national news agencies.
As Vietnam’s digital transformation accelerates, both the frequency and severity of cyberattacks are growing. The National Cybersecurity Association (NCA) reported that in 2024 alone, there were some 659,000 separate cybersecurity incidents, impacting around 46.15% of government agencies and businesses.
A key highlight will be the technology cluster pavilion, showcasing top enterprises selected for their innovation, market potential, and practical applications. These firms will display flagship products and solutions, supported by government policies to strengthen the tech sector.
Since 2022, more than 500 Vietnamese startups have engaged in Google’s Startup Academy, Google for Startups Accelerator, and Google Startup Masterclass. Nearly 100 of these firms received support to develop and improve their products, benefiting more than 300,000 customers and creating over 300 new jobs through successful fundraising and team expansion amidst Vietnam’s competitive economy.
Over the past three decades, Binh Duong has cemented its status as one of Vietnam’s most dynamic industrial hubs, building a robust foundation in manufacturing, exports, and investment. The province now has 30 operational industrial parks spanning over 13,000 hectares, with an occupancy rate exceeding 90%.
The diplomat emphasised that Vietnam places the highest priority on the development of science, technology, and innovation, viewing them as critical drivers for the country’s advancement in the new development era.
The PM revealed Vietnam’s plan to develop nuclear power in the near future, and called on the Swedish side to assist Vietnam in developing and refining legal and policy frameworks for the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; training and developing human resources; ensuring nuclear safety; and conducting training and drills to improve incident management capabilities.
More than an art showcase, the second “Technology with heart” contest seeks to inspire innovation and spotlight the humanistic values that technology can bring into daily life, expected to contribute to a sustainable digital future.
The average speed of the national mobile broadband network remained stable, with download speeds reaching 76.86 Mbps and upload speeds reaching 26.98 Mbps.
Under the MoU, AMD will support several key initiatives spearheaded by HCM City’s authorities, including piloting policies, co-hosting innovation events, and evaluating the investment environment within the Saigon Hi-Tech Park.
The centre is a joint initiative between Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology, with PTIT and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) serving as co-leads, and global telecommunications giant Nokia as founding industry partner.
The new centre, staffed by a team of scientists, researchers, and AI specialists working in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, forms part of Qualcomm’s global AI research group.
As a flagship initiative of the community project “Digital Literacy for All”, the programme forms part of a national scheme to equip 20 million young people with digital business skills.
The organisers hope the competition will help shape a generation of exceptional engineers who will make significant contributions to Vietnam’s scientific and technological progress in this era of transformation.
