Vietnam holds some of the world’s largest REM reserves and aspires to establish a key position in the global market. Industry development is part of the national energy and industrial strategy. However, the industry faces a number of challenges: a lack of modern technology, limited production capacity, and a high dependence on foreign technology, primarily Chinese. Environmental risks also remain significant, including soil and water pollution with heavy metals and chemical reagents, as well as weak waste management. The government is taking steps to improve legislation and attract foreign investment. Particular attention is being paid to leveraging international trade agreements (EVFTA, CPTPP) to integrate into global supply chains and diversify partnerships to reduce dependence on China. With effective resource management, a favorable investment environment, and enhanced environmental controls, Vietnam could become a leading player in the REM market, especially given growing domestic demand for electric vehicles, solar panels, and other high-tech products.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье анализируется государственная политика Вьетнама в сфере редкоземельных металлов (РЗМ). Вьетнам обладает одними из крупнейших мировых запасов РЗМ и стремится занять ключевые позиции на глобальном рынке. Развитие отрасли является частью национальной энергетической и промышленной стратегии. В то же время отрасль сталкивается с рядом проблем: нехваткой современных технологий, ограниченными производственными мощностями и высокой зависимостью от иностранных технологий, прежде всего китайских. Экологические риски также остаются актуальными – загрязнение почв и водоёмов тяжёлыми металлами и химическими реагентами, а также слабый контроль над отходами. Правительство предпринимает меры по совершенствованию законодательства и привлечению иностранных инвестиций. Особое внимание уделяется использованию международных торговых соглашений (EVFTA, CPTPP) для интеграции в глобальные цепочки поставок и диверсификации партнёрства с целью снижения зависимости от Китая. При эффективном управлении ресурсами, создании благоприятной инвестиционной среды и усилении экологического контроля Вьетнам может стать ведущим игроком на рынке РЗМ, особенно учитывая рост внутреннего спроса на электромобили, солнечные панели и другие высокотехнологичные товары.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Vietnam</kwd><kwd>rare earth metals</kwd><kwd>energy policy</kwd><kwd>China's influence</kwd><kwd>technological development</kwd><kwd>strategy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>редкоземельные металлы</kwd><kwd>энергетическая политика</kwd><kwd>влияние Китая</kwd><kwd>технологическое развитие</kwd><kwd>стратегия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Arapova E.Ja.
