Professionalism constitutes a core requirement for civil servants in the public service, particularly in the context of Vietnam’s deepening international integration. This study aims to clarify the essential qualities, capacities and professional reputation that Vietnamese civil servants must possess to meet contemporary governance demands. To accomplish this, the research examines current legal documents governing civil servant standards and surveys 175 respondents to assess the current status and solution requirements for enhancing professionalism. Findings indicate that reforms in public administration and the pressures of international integration have contributed to improving the qualities, capacities and professional standing of civil servants. Nevertheless, persistent limitations remain, especially regarding foreign language proficiency, technological competence and the uneven ability to adapt to global administrative practices. These shortcomings highlight the need for continued efforts to strengthen professional standards. Drawing on survey data, legal analysis and empirical assessment, the study proposes targeted solutions aimed at promoting a more capable, adaptive and internationally aligned civil service capable of meeting present and future challenges.
