The 2025 Vietnam P4G Summit officially concluded on April 17 afternoon, after a successful run, welcoming over 1,000 domestic and international delegates. The summit featured a variety of impactful activities that clearly reflected the international community’s commitment to accelerating green transformation and sustainable growth.

P4G leaders unanimously adopted two key declarations: the Hanoi Declaration on sustainable and human-centered green transformation, and the Declaration on strengthening cooperation between P4G and multilateral mechanisms to foster green transition and sustainable development.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that the summit was highly effective, with participants exchanging ideas and discussing solutions to boost sustainable, people-centered green cooperation.

Delegates reached a unified understanding that green transformation is an inevitable journey, an objective necessity, a strategic choice, and a top priority for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Prime Minister emphasized five major areas of consensus achieved during the summit:

First, a shared commitment to mobilizing finance for green transition and sustainable development through public-private partnerships and innovative financial policies.

Second, consensus on promoting research and development of green technologies, investing more in innovation ecosystems - particularly startup ecosystems - and enhancing access to resources for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Third, agreement on transitioning to sustainable agriculture and food systems, ensuring food and nutrition security while contributing to environmental protection and long-term sustainability.

Fourth, a collective focus on developing a high-quality workforce, especially in science, technology, and innovation. The goal is to ensure equal access to comprehensive education, expand job opportunities, and reduce social inequalities.

Fifth, agreement on efficient and sustainable energy transition. This includes stronger collaboration in technology development and transfer, provision of concessional loans for renewable energy projects, and the building of necessary infrastructure.

"The comprehensive nature of these five areas of consensus demonstrates shared thinking, collective responsibility, solidarity, and the prioritization of multilateral cooperation. Let us uphold the spirit of unity and global collaboration, leveraging resources through inclusive, people-centered approaches that balance benefits and share risks," said Prime Minister Chinh.

He expressed confidence that the summit had allowed participants to witness and appreciate Vietnam’s strong commitment to sustainable development and green growth, both in general and within the P4G framework.

The Prime Minister called upon countries, organizations, and businesses to strengthen collaboration with P4G members. He urged everyone to join hands and act responsibly for a greener future - turning commitments into action, ideas into concrete projects, and consensus into determination to implement transformative changes for a sustainable and prosperous future for all nations and peoples.

“Together, we can overcome every challenge. Together, we can turn the impossible into possible. Together, we will build a greener, cleaner, more beautiful, and better world,” he concluded.

During the closing ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh officially handed over the symbolic P4G hosting role for the fifth summit to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali.
