Both leaders affirmed they treasured and were delighted at the fruitful development of the relationship between Việt Nam and the UN over the past years. President Phúc highly appreciated contributions that Guterres made in the last term, and showed his support for priorities and directions of the UN Secretary-General in the next five years. As a responsible member of the UN, Việt Nam had made positive contributions to the common affairs of the UN by performing the role of a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council and engaging in UN peacekeeping operations, implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and running for a seat in the UN Human Rights Council in the 2023-25 tenure, said the Vietnamese leader. Highlighting Việt Nam’s efforts in implementing the “dual target” of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and boosting socio-economic development, President Phúc thanked the UN for supporting Việt Nam over the recent time and proposed that UN organisations continue to assist Việt Nam, especially in accessing vaccine supplies and post-pandemic recovery consultancy.

HCMC to spend VND8 trillion more on anti-flooding projects

HCMC to spend VND8 trillion more on anti-flooding projects The Saigon Times A motorcyclist wades through a heavily flooded street in HCMC after heavy rain. HCMC has plans to kick off 12 anti-flooding projects worth over VND8 trillion this year – PHOTO: VNA HCMC – The HCMC Department of Construction has sent a plan to the municipal government proposing that the city kick off 12 anti-flooding and environmental cleanup projects worth over VND8 trillion (US$348 million) in total this year. The 11 anti-flooding projects and one environmental cleanup project are scheduled for completion before 2025, according to deputy director of the HCMC Department of Construction Dang Phu Thanh. Thu Duc City has the highest number of projects, with three projects on Road No. 8 and Nguyen Duy Trinh and La Xuan Oai streets costing a total of over VND455 billion. HCMC has carried out a dozen anti-flooding projects in recent years, but many of them have lagged behind schedule. The city’s biggest anti-flooding project, which costs some VND10 trillion, has been 96% complete. However, it has been suspended since mid-November last year. The build-transfer contract for the project between Trung Nam Group's subsidiary Trung Nam BT 1547 Co., Ltd, the investor of the project, and the HCMC government, which was signed on November 18, 2019, expired on June 26, 2020, but the two sides have yet to sign an appendix to extend the deadline of the project. Therefore, the project has no legal foundation to continue. The tardiness in signing the appendix was attributed to the disagreement between the two sides over the payment method. Fast urbanization, an aging drainage system, the overexploitation of underground water and a large amount of garbage discharged into rivers and canals have made the city unable to address flooding-related problems. Professor Le Huy Ba, former chairman of the Science, Technology and Environmental Management Institute, said most anti-flooding …
