Hue noted that economic cooperation and trade between Vietnam and Greece have seen positive progress, especially since the E.U. - Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) took effect. He proposed that the two countries continue to promote collaboration in areas of Greece’s strength and Vietnam’s demand such as maritime economy, shipbuilding, seaport, and tourism, while working together to reach a double taxation avoidance agreement and another on maritime transportation to create favourable conditions for economic exchange and trade. The N.A. leader thanked the Greek parliament for ratifying the EVFTA, suggesting that it hasten the act on the E.U. - Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA) as well as the removal of the “yellow card” on Vietnamese fisheries sector.

As Việt Nam’s growth momentum faces headwinds, with global recovery slowed by the impacts of the pandemic, inflation pressure and a surge in oil prices, National Assembly Deputy Trần Hoàng Ngân talks to Tuổi Trẻ (Youth) newspaper about the need to have appropriate measures to put inflation under control before it’s too late. You have previously proposed using environmental protection and special consumption taxes to control the increase in gasoline prices, why do you persist with this view? Experiences from economic development in Việt Nam and around the world show that high inflation is very dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to closely monitor the situation and come up with timely solutions. When high inflation occurs, to control it, banks often raise interest rates, which will turn everything upside down and is a very dangerous move for the economy.

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

Nguyen The Dung, 41, who lives in Kon Tum Province, said Tuesday that he found his son days after his ex-wife Phuong showed him their son's death certificate. "He's still healthy, just a little shy. In the near future, I will request the court to change our custody arrangements," he said. Dung married Phuong in 2018. Their son was only a couple months old when they got divorced. Phuong got custody of their son. In 2019, Phuong said she couldn't "raise him", so Dung brought his son back with him. Late April this year, Dung brought his son to Dak Lak for some treatment and asked his maternal grandmother (Phuong's mother), who lives nearby, to take care of the boy for a few months so he could return to Kon Tum for work. However, earlier this month, when Dung tried to video call his ex-wife to see his son but failed, he went to see him in person. Upon meeting him, Phuong gave him their son's death certificate, issued by local authorities, and told him the boy was dead. Dung … [Read more...] about Mother gets death certificate for living toddler
