International Students Engage in Vietnam's 2026 Green Summer Campaign

A total of 105 young overseas Vietnamese from 35 countries and territories are taking part in the Vietnam Summer Camp 2026 from July 12–25. Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang said the participants return to Vietnam at a particularly significant moment, as the country enters a new stage of development following the 14th National Party Congress. She noted that the ongoing reorganisation of administrative units has created new development space for localities and the nation, unlocking fresh potential, encouraging innovation and providing new momentum for faster and more sustainable growth. Running from April to August 2026, the Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign not only builds on previous successes but also demonstrates a transformation in both mindset and methods of organisation. As late summer approaches, the online travel platform Agoda has unveiled its list of the destinations most searched by Vietnamese travellers. The list spans Vietnam's popular beach cities and Asia's leading urban hubs, with the signature local dishes that make each destination a culinary attraction in its own right. The representatives expressed appreciation for the support provided by the Party, the State, the VFF Central Committee and the Vietnamese Embassy. They reaffirmed their commitment to fostering a united and law-abiding community, enhancing the image of Vietnamese people in Japan, supporting members' integration into local society, and promoting Vietnam's culture and people to Japanese friends.

Once fishermen understand the regulations, trust law enforcement forces and know they can count on timely help at sea, running VMS, keeping logbooks and carrying proper documentation will no longer feel like box-ticking for inspections. To truly fulfill its role as a special urban area, Ho Chi Minh City should be guided by a clear development philosophy that places people at the centre, recognises culture as the foundation of sustainable growth, and measures success by the quality of life and happiness of its residents. Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has ordered an urgent investigation into the cause of a coach fire that killed seven people in the southern city of Dong Nai, while directing authorities to address the aftermath and prevent similar tragedies.

Minister of Ethnic and Religious Affairs Nguyen Dinh Khang said digital technology and AI are transforming religious practices by enabling online participation and supporting heritage preservation. At the same time, they require stronger legal education, improved digital literacy among religious dignitaries and followers, and monitoring and enforcement against online violations.

Three main collection hubs will cover 18 spots across the province. This is a key mission within a 500-day national campaign to search for, recover and identify the remains of fallen soldiers, in the lead-up to the 80th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day (July 27, 1947 - 2027).
