Buses at the Mien Tay Station in HCM City. — VNA/VNS Photo Hoang Hai The HCM City transport industry has sought Government support to help recover from the double whammy of the COVID-19 pandemic and skyrocketing fuel prices. Le Trung Tinh, chairman of the city Intercity Passenger Transport and Tourism Association, said the high prices of petroleum products have made it difficult for transport businesses, leading to a fresh crisis post-pandemic. Fuel prices account for 30-50 per cent of transport costs, and so the hike in prices has created massive challenges for the industry, he said. The Government and National Assembly should consider reducing tariffs on petroleum products such as environmental protection, special consumption and value-added taxes, he said. “Petrol prices have surged and been forecast to rise to VND35,000 - 40,000 per litre. If it does, passenger transport firms will find it challenging to survive.” A spokesperson for Tu Vien, a firm that operates on … [Read more...] about Transport sector beseeches support amid soaring fuel costs

UVALDE, Texas -- A teenage gunman opened fire at an elementary school in South Texas on Tuesday, killing 18 children and three adults before the suspect was also killed, officials said, in the latest spasm of mass gun violence sweeping the United States. Governor Greg Abbott said the suspect, identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was apparently killed by police officers responding to the scene, and that two officers were struck by gunfire, though the governor said their injuries were not serious. Authorities said the suspect acted alone. Abbott told a news conference hours after the shooting that 14 schoolchildren had been slain, along with one teacher. But Texas state Senator Roland Gutierrez later told CNN , citing the Texas Rangers state police as his source, that the death toll had climbed to 18 children and three adults.

Vietnam’s aviation industry needs to improve to keep up with the global market as flights resume following the pandemic, Deputy Minister of Transport Le Anh Tuan said on May 24. He made the remark at an international seminar titled “Vietnam aviation in a post-pandemic world” organised by Tap chi Cong San (Communist Review) and the Ministry of Transport. There were 42 million international visitors out of 116 million air passengers in Vietnam in 2019, before the pandemic broke out. About half of them came to Vietnam to invest and seek business opportunities. The volume of goods shipped by air reached 1.5 million tonnes in 2019, which was rather low compared to other modes of transport but accounted for 25 percent of the value of exported goods. With a growth rate of over 15 percent per year in the 2010-2019 period, Vietnam's aviation market is considered to be the fifth fastest-growing market in the world and the fastest in Southeast Asia. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 … [Read more...] about Solutions sought to help Vietnam’s aviation industry take off
