The Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM) can be regarded the leading national economic think tank in Vietnam.

FES supports CIEM in its research since 1992. The jointly published FES-CIEM "Working Papers are widely recognized by Vietnamese scholars and practitioners.

The ruling Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) cooperates with FES for broad and international political dialogue. In order to strengthen the renovation process (doi moi) and to foster the exchange of experiences and ideas, FES invites various international experts to Vietnam, ranging from high-ranking politicians and ministerial officials to senior professionals.
