Vietnam moves up to 38th position in 2025 Global Peace Index
VOV.VN - Vietnam has climbed one spot to rank 38th in the 2025 Global Peace Index (GPI), with an overall score of 1.721, making it one of the more peaceful countries globally.
This improvement places Vietnam in the second tier of countries with a high peace index, alongside countries like Romania in Europe.
The country also found itself above several other Asian countries, such as the Republic of Korea in 41st, Laos in 47th, and Indonesia in 49th.
In contrast, other regional countries like Thailand (86th), Cambodia (87th), China (98th), the Philippines (105th), and India (115th) were placed in the third group, reflecting a lower level of peace. The United States was also included in this group, ranking 128th.
The 2025 GPI is the 18th edition of the report released by the Australia-based Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP). It evaluates 163 countries and territories based on three key indicators: societal safety and security, the extent of ongoing domestic and international conflict, and the degree of militarisation. A lower score indicates a higher level of peace.
Iceland maintained its top position for the 17th consecutive year, followed by Ireland, Denmark, New Zealand, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore, Portugal, Slovenia, and Poland. At the bottom of the list, Russia and Ukraine were ranked as the least peaceful nations.
