After more than a decade of meaningful work in Vietnam, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) closes its office in Hanoi.
Since its establishment in 2012, FNF Vietnam has proudly promoted liberal values, free trade, the rule of law, a market-based economy, and women’s empowerment, in one of the most dynamic countries in Asia.
The decision to close this chapter is a painful one, but it reflects a broader strategic realignment of the Foundation following the recent election results in Germany and serious budget cuts in the upcoming years.
The FNF Vietnam team — small in number but exceptionally skilled — has built strong partnerships across sectors, produced studies that informed policy discussions, facilitated dialogue on Vietnam’s economic and social reforms, and helped strengthen a network of liberal-minded professionals and institutions.
We are deeply grateful to all of our partners in Vietnam for their trust, cooperation, and shared commitment to advancing freedom and sustainable economic development in Vietnam.
As our office operations come to an end, we look back with pride and appreciation for all that we have achieved together, from impactful projects and meaningful partnerships to lasting friendships. We remain confident that the spirit of freedom and collaboration will continue to flourish in the years ahead.
