First-Class
Labor
Order
to
Mr.
Phạm
Nhật
Vượng
–
Chairman
of
Vingroup
–
in
recognition
of
the
Group’s
outstanding
achievements,
at
the
National
Exhibition
and
Convention
Center
in
Hanoi,
Vietnam.
The
conferment
ceremony
was
part
of
the
Inauguration
and
Groundbreaking
Ceremony
of
National
Projects
commemorating
the
80th
anniversary
of
Vietnam’s
National
Day
(September
2,
1945
–
September
2,
2025),
held
at
the
inauguration
site
of
the
National
Exhibition
and
Convention
Center,
Tu
Lien
Bridge
area,
Dong
Anh
District,
Hanoi.
The National Exhibition and Convention Center is a state-level key project, ranked among the top 10 largest exhibition centers in the world. With a total area of about 900,000 square meters, it is envisioned to become a premier international destination for global trade fairs and exhibitions, as well as a new symbol of Hanoi’s development.
Construction commenced on August 30, 2024, and the site was handed over on June 27, 2025—after just 10 months of construction, 15 months ahead of schedule. This remarkable pace set a new benchmark in Vietnam’s construction sector, overcoming major challenges in engineering and executing a massive steel dome structure of unprecedented scale and complexity.
As both investor and general contractor, Vingroup maximized all resources, proactively designed construction plans, coordinated manpower, equipment, and materials, and ensured seamless supply chain management across multiple contractors.
During peak construction periods, the project mobilized hundreds of contractors and about 3,000 workers and engineers, supported by 800–1,000 pieces of heavy machinery sourced from across the country, including 300–500 ton cranes and super-heavy transport vehicles. The site operated at full intensity, 24/7 in three shifts, optimizing every moment to shorten construction time by 60%.
While accelerating progress, Vingroup also maintained strict oversight of each component, ensuring safety, quality, and long-term sustainability of the project.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman and CEO of Vingroup, shared: “Receiving the First-Class Labor Order at the inauguration of the National Exhibition and Convention Center is a profound honor and pride for all Vingroup employees. We are committed to continuing our spirit of perseverance and determination to operate the Center successfully, contributing to making Hanoi and Vietnam leading destinations for world-class political, economic, cultural, and social events.”
At the heart of the Center is the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, one of the world’s largest circular exhibition hall with an area of approximately 130,000 square meters and a central height of 56 meters.
Located
in
Hanoi,
the
National
Exhibition
and
Convention
Center
covers
90
hectares
and
ranks
among
the
world’s
top
10
largest
exhibition
venues.
Inspired
by
the
sacred
Golden
Turtle
God
(Kim
Quy)
of
the
Co
Loa
legend,
the
hall’s
unique
architecture
is
hailed
as
a
new
wonder
of
the
capital.
Its
engineering
posed
extraordinary
challenges:
a
steel
dome
weighing
24,000
tons,
assembled
from
ultra-large
steel
beams
and
high-strength
bolts
using
specialized
torque-severing
methods
to
ensure
quality
control
and
double
the
standard
safety
factor.
The
roof
is
covered
with
ultra-light,
ultra-durable
fiberglass
fabric,
offering
natural
translucency
and
energy
efficiency
in
line
with
global
green
building
standards.
Beyond the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, Vingroup has developed a comprehensive exhibition ecosystem including four outdoor plazas (East, West, South, North), the VinPalace International Convention Center, landscaped green parks and lakes, and large-scale parking facilities. With capacity for hundreds of thousands outdoors and thousands indoors, the Center is not only suited for mega exhibitions but also for large-scale events such as concerts, national festivals, and global technology showcases—meeting the strictest international requirements and redefining Vietnam’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry.
One of the key drivers behind this construction milestone is the upcoming National Achievements Exhibition – 80 Years of Independence, Freedom, and Happiness, taking place from August 28 to September 5, 2025. For the first time, all provinces, ministries, sectors, and enterprises across Vietnam will gather in a single national-scale exhibition, expected to attract millions of visitors and reignite national pride.
The accelerated completion of the National Exhibition and Convention Center not only demonstrates Vingroup’s strong financial capacity, professional execution, and effective project management, but also affirms its commitment to serving the nation and the strength of Vietnam’s private enterprises in this new era of global integration.
