French club coach tells newly signed Vietnam midfielder to be patient
"It would be unrealistic to expect Quang Hai to put on a superb performance and achieve excellence in his first year at Pau FC. He has just joined the club and will have to learn many new things.

Quang Hai passed his medical Wednesday and signed a two-year contract with Pau FC. A day later, he had his first training session with the new club and an introductory press conference.

Businesses get set for circular economy
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, at his meetings with Vietnamese farmers and agricultural businesses a few weeks ago, cited the success of TH Group as a fine example of high-tech agricultural development, and the circular economic model being pursued by the government. Famous for its TH true MILK brand, TH Group has been operating a $1.2 billion farm cluster project in the central province of Nghe An, featuring a state-of-the-art dairy cow farm and fresh milk production plant. The facility, which has a total annual capacity of 500,000 tonnes, hopes to quadruple the number of cattle to around 200,000 by 2025.
