Vietnam Accelerates Development and International Cooperation

Belarus always considers Vietnam one of its priorities in its foreign policy towards the Asia-Pacific region and wishes to continue consolidating and developing bilateral ties, while promoting and further deepening defence cooperation in the spirit of the traditional friendship and multifaceted collaboration between the two countries. Gen. Nguyen Trong Nghia, Director of the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army (VPA), held talks with Maj. Gen. Leonid Kasinsky, Chief of the Main Ideological Directorate of Belarus’ Defence Ministry, in Belarus on September 22. The reception featured Vietnamese songs and dances performed by children from Vietnamese-language classes and Vietnamese students. Members of the Vietnamese community also introduced traditional Vietnamese cuisine to international guests. Initial investigation showed that the four Chinese suspects had been hired to transport the cigarettes from Vietnam to another country for 800–1,000 CNY (119–149 USD) per trip. The person who hired them arranged their air tickets, accommodation and meals in Vietnam. The Party and State always pay attention to protecting and caring for the health of the people, particularly child patients, and continue to prioritise substantial resources for the healthcare sector, said Prime Minister Le Minh Hung. Cambodian workers and residents in Oyadav district, Ratanakiri province, received comprehensive health checkups by medical staff from Economic-Defence Brigade 74. Channelling global financial resources into concrete education projects also opens opportunities for Vietnamese education enterprises to engage more deeply in international financial networks and cooperation, thereby contributing to the policy of mobilising private resources for education and developing high-quality human capital for Vietnam. The 23 citizens, including 18 men and five women from different localities across Vietnam, had been identified by Cambodian authorities as being involved in suspected online scams, illegal employment, illegal entry or illegal residence in Cambodia. The two sides agreed to strictly abide by the three legal documents governing the Vietnam–China land border, along with the common perceptions reached by the two armies, to address emerging issues quickly and appropriately. The two sides agreed to establish a cooperation framework for exchanging external information and supporting cooperation programmes between Vietnam and Russia. Dr Huynh The Du described Vietnamese students and researchers in the US as “knowledge ambassadors” and a direct link between the two countries’ education and innovation ecosystems. Under the 500-day campaign to step up the search for, collection and identification of the remains of fallen soldiers, as of September 21, the remains sampling team of the Dong Thap provincial Military Command had collected more than 8,420 samples from remains whose identities have yet to be determined. The two sides agreed to establish a cooperation framework for exchanging external information and supporting cooperation programmes between Vietnam and Russia. Alongside the RoK, Da Nang has stepped up tourism promotion in India, Japan, China, Russia and CIS countries, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Of the total, 631 were individual sets of remains, while 33 were recovered from eight mass graves. Personal artifacts were found with 298 sets of remains. The agreements cover additional US funding for dioxin remediation at Bien Hoa Air Base and support for improving the quality of life of people with disabilities, regardless of the cause of their disabilities, in heavily sprayed Agent Orange areas and other priority provinces. Each scholarship is worth 1 million VND (about 38 USD), providing financial support for students in the 2026-2027 academic year and encouraging them to overcome difficulties and continue their studies. The three Country Programme Documents provide an important framework for cooperation between Vietnam and the three UN development agencies for 2027–2031, helping mobilise international resources for the country’s development priorities and Sustainable Development Goals. Vietnam plans to connect its national digital identification application VNeID with the electronic identification systems of Singapore and Laos, with a view to expanding the connection to other ASEAN countries. The Ho Chi Minh City Red Cross Society and the Red Cross Society of China are expected to grow increasingly close, helping strengthen the foundation of friendship and bring the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership into a new phase of more substantive cooperation. VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang said that the VNA is developing a three-pronged approach to fact-checking: verifying information at the source; utilising technology to scan for and flag potentially false information; and establishing rapid fact-checking channels, thereby affirming its role as a key national news agency. The Vietnamese Embassy in the Republic of Korea (RoK) has completed citizen protection measures and assisted 10 Vietnamese sailors who faced difficulties in the country in returning home. Deputy Prime Minister Le Tien Chau emphasised that restructuring does not mean reducing training capacity. Training enrolment could increase if it meets actual demand. Vocational education institutions transferred to local management should serve not only their respective localities but also the human resources needs of their regions and the country. A total of 67 teams, including 65 international and two Vietnamese teams, with 320 contestants will compete at the event.
