Party General Secretary and State President To Lam called for a stronger emphasis on three major overhauls to reshape Viet Nam’s socialist culture in the new era while addressing the second session of the Central Steering Committee for Vietnamese culture development in Ha Noi on July 13.
Ha Noi has launched simultaneous construction of five urban metro lines with a combined investment of more than 1.3 quadrillion VND. Yet the significance of these projects lies not merely in the scale of investment or the pace of transport infrastructure development. More importantly, they have the potential to reshape the city's urban structure, transform the way people use urban space, and redefine long-term investment prospects.
Watching films on free websites, downloading e-books or using unlicensed software were once common practices. As science-technology, innovation and the digital economy become drivers of national development, awareness of the value of intellectual property is also changing.
The labour market maintained its recovery and stable growth in the first half of 2026, with the employment figure rising to 52.6 million, up 672,500 from a year earlier, and unemployment and underemployment staying at low levels, reported the National Statistics Office (NSO) under the Ministry of Finance.
The top leader stressed that rapid growth must go hand in hand with sustainability, better governance and improved quality of life.
The Ministry of Construction has approved revisions to Viet Nam’s national airport development plan for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision to 2050, in a move aimed at strengthening transport infrastructure, supporting socio-economic growth and enhancing national defence and security.
On the journey towards net zero, Viet Nam's construction sector is experiencing unprecedented pressure to transform. At the same time, as ESG (environmental, social, and governance) becomes a new benchmark for valuing real estate, green building material solutions with transparent carbon data provide a vital competitive advantage.
Party General Secretary and State President To Lam received in Ha Noi on July 6 the newly accredited ambassadors of Portugal, Iran, Mongolia, the US and Myanmar, as they presented their credentials, officially beginning their diplomatic missions in Viet Nam.
Viet Nam and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) have concluded negotiations on a free trade agreement (FTA), which is expected to open a new chapter in bilateral cooperation, creating a solid framework for promoting trade and investment, and expanding collaboration across sectors, the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) said.
