Vietnam will switch to a single national textbook set starting from the 2026–2027 academic year, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong announced.

The total number of central-level administrative procedures has been reduced to 1,570, accounting for 27.31%, surpassing the target set by the Government, according to Deputy Minister of Justice Nguyen Thanh Tinh.

With the issuance of eight new resolutions, the Vietnamese government has sent a clear signal: a commitment to substantive reform, empowerment and development-oriented governance.

Public attention is increasingly focused on the Government’s latest reform push, which abolishes 184 administrative procedures and 890 business conditions.

Vietnam is expected to mobilise nearly 970 trillion VND (37 billion USD) this year, almost 20% higher than the level set in last year’s public borrowing and debt repayment plan, as the Government moves to balance financing needs with debt safety.

To meet the ambitious targets for 2026 and the entire term, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung endorsed the key priorities identified by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE), urging the sector to pursue them with maximum determination.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has issued Decision No. 942/QD-BVHTTDL, dated April 24, 2026, on the plan to implement the communications strategy to promote Vietnam's global image for 2026–2030, with a vision to 2045.

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung urged the Ministry of Construction to urgently finalise and implement action plans aligned with national strategies, assigning clear responsibilities, timelines, and measurable outcomes to relevant units.

For Vietnam’s North - South high-speed railway project, Standing Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc has stressed that selecting partners must be tied to a fundamental condition: technology transfer to Vietnam.

The plan aims to implement the Vietnamese Government’s commitments to international organisations and fulfil its obligations as an APG member by building an effective AML/CTF/CPF framework.

When a law must wait for a decree, and that decree in turn waits for a circular, what is delayed is not just a document but the entire economy.

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has urged policymakers to address a critical imbalance in the tourism sector, warning against a situation where international visitors arrive in large numbers but much of the revenue flows to foreign partners.

The government calls for decisive action to streamline institutions and strengthen national human capital.

Under a freshly signed official dispatch, the Ministry of Public Security has been assigned to urgently complete the national public service portal and the administrative procedure coordination system for official operation in April.
