📋 Tender Overview
On the morning of July 22, the Institute of Non-Traditional Security (School of Management and Business, Hanoi National University) coordinated with the Government Department of Information and Communications and the Vietnam National Energy-Industry Group to organize a discussion Energy security - the pillar of national security in the context of non-traditional security risks to identify risks, challenges and propose solutions to improve capacity to ensure energy security.

Delivering the opening speech at the seminar, Prof.Dr. Hoang Dinh Phi, Principal of the School of Management and Business, emphasized: Energy security not only directly impacts human security but is also closely tied to economic security, cyber security and national security. The increasingly complex relationships between these fields require a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach based on risk management. The greatest expectation of the Discussion is to clarify the immediate and long-term risks to Vietnams energy security, thereby proposing solutions and risk management strategies to serve management agencies, corporations, corporations and units in the energy industry. Therefore, the purpose of the Discussion is to exchange and identify the points. weaknesses, challenges and risks to propose feasible solutions, contributing to improving strategic management capacity, ensuring energy security, sustainable development of the country and implementing growth goals in the coming period.

Nguyen Thanh Huong, Head of Risk Management and Compliance Monitoring Department (Vietnam National Energy-Industry Group - Petrovietnam) sees energy as the foundation of development, defense and security; while current risks are increasingly intertwined, spread and amplified. Geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, climate change, technological competition, cyber attacks and energy transition are simultaneously posing major challenges to the security and resilience of each country. From Petrovietnams perspective, PhD. Nguyen Thanh Huong shared a number of key issues. First, it is necessary to deeply grasp the concept of to the extent of development, security will be guaranteed. At the 80th Anniversary of the Traditional Day of the Peoples Security Forces, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized the need to attach security to the entire development process and expand the scope of protection in new spaces. For the energy industry and Petrovietnam, security must be integrated right from the construction stage. Strategy development, investment, technology selection to operational organization. Where development progresses, security must be guaranteed; Infrastructure expansion must be accompanied by backup and recovery capacity; Digital transformation must be associated with protecting control systems, data and cyberspace; Integration must go hand in hand with autonomy and protection of national interests. Second, energy security must be approached within the overall security system. Energy security today is closely tied to economic, financial, technology, network, data, environmental and human security. A problem at one link can quickly spread throughout the system. Geopolitical conflicts, disruption of maritime routes and technological competition are increasing risks in supply, transportation costs, insurance and dependence on equipment, components, essential minerals, software and core technologies. In particular, cyber attacks on industrial control systems can cause machine shutdowns, loss of equipment control and loss of construction safety. Therefore, cyber security must be considered a direct part of production security; It is impossible to build a smart energy system on a weak cybersecurity foundation. Third, the Politburos resolutions have formed a consistent set of views on developing, mastering and protecting the national energy system. Resolution 55-NQ/TW lays the foundation for developing a synchronous, modern and sustainable energy system; Resolution 57-NQ/TW creates motivation through science, technology, innovation and digital transformation; Resolution 70-NQ/TW raises requirements to the level of security, autonomy and resilience. The three resolutions can be generalized into one whole: develop - master - protect. For Petrovietnam, science and technology not only improve productivity but also support forecasting, early warning, optimizing operations, protecting critical infrastructure and making decisions in emergency situations. However, digital transformation must always be associated with data protection, access control, supplier risk management and maintaining backup operating plans. Fourth, Petrovietnam is not only a business but also a core force contributing to ensuring national energy security. Petrovietnam participates in most links of the energy value chain, from oil and gas exploration and exploitation, gas industry, refining and petrochemicals, electricity production to energy distribution and development. new. Each energy product not only creates economic value but alsocontributing to maintaining production, stabilizing the market, ensuring major balances and affirming presence associated with protecting sovereignty over seas and islands. In the context of market fluctuations, Petrovietnam must both ensure production and business efficiency and perform the role of a core state-owned enterprise in stabilizing supply and ensuring energy security. The Group not only creates energy but also contributes to strengthening the strategic resilience of the economy. Fifth, energy transition must be safe, orderly and not create
