Episode Title:🇻🇳Vietnam’s Bamboo Diplomacy & 20 Year Plan for High Income Status🇻🇳

Another insightful and timely episode of Heads Talk as part of the BRICS & Geopolitics series (#HTBRICSSeries).

In a significant development, Brazil, Chair of BRICS 2025, officially announced on June 13 that Vietnam has been named one of 10 BRICS partner countries. This new partnership format expands engagement with key emerging economies without granting full membership status.

Vietnam joins a select group of BRICS partners: Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan. The move shows growing recognition of Vietnam’s importance in global supply chains, its emerging tech ecosystem, and its geopolitical balancing efforts.

The episode features Hang Vu, CEO of RSI Consulting Asia, a strategic advisory firm that guides global investors and local enterprises through Vietnam’s complex and fast-evolving market landscape.

Hang previously held Senior Executive positions at Vingroup, one of Vietnam’s largest private conglomerates, where she led enterprise-wide transformation initiatives across high-growth sectors including technology, retail, real estate, and healthcare.

Now, through RSI, Hang works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and strategy, advising firms on navigating regulatory reform, geopolitical risk, and digital transformation. All within the context of Vietnam’s Vision 2045, which aims to achieve high-income, developed nation status.
