President Nguyen Xuan Phuc met with staff of the Vietnamese Embassy and representatives of the Vietnamese community in the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Seoul on December 4, part of his ongoing State visit to the Northeast Asian country.
The leader informed them about Vietnam’s socio-economic situation, particularly the implementation of many measures for economic reopening and development after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The State leader called on the community to stay united, seriously comply with laws of Vietnam and the RoK, and make more contributions in terms of science, technology, and other fields for the sake of a prosperous Vietnam.
He also took this occasion to appreciate the practical and effective donations by Vietnamese people in the RoK to the pandemic fight in the homeland.
At the meeting, President Phuc applauded efforts by the Vietnamese Embassy to fulfill duties, asking it to keep coordination to effectively implement agreements reached between the two countries’ leaders, carry out cooperation activities, step up technology transfer, and make the most use of resources from the RoK to help with national industrialisation and modernisation, thereby helping develop strong and fruitful bilateral cooperation.
He also told the embassy to keep a close watch on the local and regional situation, properly make forecasting, better carry out citizen protection and support for Vietnamese people in the RoK, especially as the number of Vietnamese here is rising, and increase communications to improve the community’s adherence to the host country’s laws.
Vietnamese National Assembly delegation visits Iran
A delegation of the Vietnamese National Assembly led by its Vice Chairman Senior Lieutenant General Tran Quang Phuong is paying a working visit to Iran from December 2-6.
The delegation held talks with Iran's First Deputy Parliament Speaker Ali Nikzad, who affirmed that Iran has attached importance to fostering relations with countries in Asia, especially nations in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam.
He briefed the guests on achievements Iran has recorded in health care, science-technology and infrastructure construction, and suggested the two countries activate a trade remedy mechanism, hoping for support from the two governments.
For his part, Phuong highlighted the Vietnam-Iran friendship, cooperation and mutual support in their causes of national defence, construction and development, as well as their similarities despite geographical distance.
Vietnam and its legislature always treasure the relationship with Iran, and wish it to grow stronger in all government, parliament and people-to-people exchange channels, he said.
The two sides agreed to coordinate in organising activities celebrating the 50th founding anniversary of diplomatic ties, step up the exchange of delegations and people-to-people diplomacy, and boost twinned relations between localities.
Phuong said the two countries should facilitate the penetration of their goods into respective markets, organise trade promotion activities and business forums, and strengthen collaboration in telecommunications, IT, digital transformation and other areas where Iran has strengths like nanotechnology, satellite research and space orbit, along with culture, education, tourism and sports.
Regarding Iran's nuclear issue, the legislator noted his support for the disarmament of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, and respect for rights of countries to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, in line with obligations prescribed in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. He also lauded efforts by relevant sides in addressing the Iran nuclear issue through dialogues and negotiations.
For the bilateral legislative ties, Phuong suggested the two sides increase the exchange of all-level delegations, carry forward the role of the two countries’ friendship parliamentarians groups, and improve their people's understanding about the friendship and cooperation.
The two legislatures should continue their close coordination at multilateral forums such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), he added.
Phuong conveyed NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue’s invitation to the Iranian Parliament's Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to pay an official visit to Vietnam in 2023 when the two countries celebrate the 50th anniversary of the bilateral diplomatic ties.

Vietnamese water puppetry introduced to French public
A special water puppetry and traditional music performance with the theme “Village stories" took place from December 1-4 in Paris to promote Vietnam’s traditional culture and raise funds for disadvantaged children in the country's remote mountainous areas.
The event, organised by the ALEDI Association (Children of Indochina - Les Enfants de l'Indochine) in collaboration with Hanoi Vietnam Performing Arts Water Puppetry Co.Ltd, attracted the audience, particularly overseas Vietnamese and French, with stories about the daily life of farmers in rural villages, fairy tales, or legends in a scene of typical countryside of Vietnam.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities marked in Vietnam
International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 3) was proclaimed by the United Nations in 1992, this is an opportunity to understand more the challenges that people with disabilities face.
Vietnam will mark this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities with a range of activities including a ceremony and a forum in Hanoi called “Listening to the Voice of People with Disabilities.”
Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Van Hoi, who is also Vice Chairman of the Vietnam National Committee for People with Disabilities, said, "Vietnam has about 7 million people with disabilities, more than 7% of the population and one of the highest percentage in the Asia-Pacific region. People with severe disabilities comprise nearly 29% and about 10% of people with disabilities are poor."
Vietnam has a relatively comprehensive system of policies and laws to help people with disabilities. In addition to the Constitution and the Law on People with Disabilities, there atr the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment, the Law on Health Insurance, the Law on Education, and the Law on Vocational Training.
Vietnam ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2014 and the International Labor Organization's Convention 159 on occupational re-adaptation and employment for people with disabilities affirming the country’s commitment to ensuring that workers with disabilities are not discriminated against in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Inchoen Strategy on realizing the rights of persons with disabilities in the most effective way.
Vietnam has implemented disability classification and issued disability certificates for nearly 3 million people. More than 1.1 million people with disabilities receive a monthly social allowance.
In the coming years, Vietnam will continue to fully implement the provisions of the Constitution and the laws concerning people with disabilities, as well as international commitments that Vietnam has signed.
ADB supports production of sanitation products for women and children
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed a €20 million (around $21 million) loan with Hayat Kimya Vietnam Company Limited (Hayat Kimya) to support the on-going construction of a manufacturing facility for baby diapers, wet wipes, and women’s hygiene pads in Vietnam.
The project aims to expand consumer choices and improve the affordability of these products, which will also be exported to Malaysia and Thailand. An additional loan of €15 million was issued by Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH.
In Vietnam, it is estimated that only 43% of women have access to sanitary pads while only 52% of mothers use diapers for their infants. At the same time, Vietnam has one of the highest female labour force participation rates in the world. Even so, most working women still have primary responsibility for house, child, and elderly care duties.
ADB will also help Hayat Kimya to develop a gender-inclusive action plan which includes promoting gender equality in their branding and marketing, implementation of an awareness campaign about the benefits of hygiene products, and development of a gender-inclusive corporate framework including anti-sexual harassment policies and career development programs for female professionals. The company also aims to open an internship program for female graduates of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
This project has qualified for a 2x gender financing rating, a challenge launched at the G7 summit in 2018 to encourage gender lens investing among development finance institutions.

HCMC wants to restore historic Ba Son Shipyard
HCMC has proposed restoring the historic Ba Son Shipyard, with an estimated investment of some VND230 billion.
The HCMC’s People Committee has sent an urgent official document to the Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism, seeking an appraisal for the project to restore the Ba Son Shipyard, which includes a large dry dock and historical site with associated relics in District 1, HCMC.

The project aims to revamp the shipbuilding complex and colonial buildings for the purpose of turning the area into a nationally-recognized historical site.
As for the current site, it is now a remnant of a large dry dock with a compound of associated relics, which cannot meet the current standards to become a national relic.
After the work is completed, it will serve as a monument to commemorate President Ton Duc Thang, meeting the need for research and study of Vietnam’s history.
Hospital CEO accused of being drunk, attacking security guard
The Thu Duc City Police (Ho Chi Minh City), on December 5, informed that the unit was coordinating with Thao Dien Ward police and the specialized departments of the HCMC Police to investigate and clarify the report of Vu Viet Hung, 57, living in Binh Duong Province, working as a security guard, on being assaulted by a foreigner who is the CEO of a hospital in HCMC.
According to Hung's report, around 11:35 p.m. on December 2, he was on guard duty in front of the gate of the house at No.216/28 Nguyen Van Huong Street in Thao Dien Ward, Thu Duc City, when a car came.
Two foreign men got out of the car, showing signs of being drunk. One of them requested to enter the mentioned-above house to find his friend. Hung explained that that was a private house, and no one in the house was his friend. However, one of the two men shouted and cursed.
“I kept a distance of 30-40m from him for safety and showed him the house he looks for. I tried my best to help, but he still insisted on entering the house I was on guard duty and came towards me," Hung wrote in his report.
"He attacked me with his left hand to my chest, and at the same time, he yanked on my shirt and broke many buttons. He also hit the back of my neck with his right hand. I was shocked and dizzy and barely stand. Then, he gripped my neck and dragged me to the guard house of the building I was on duty - where there is no camera. He strangled me and hit me 2-3 more times on the back of my neck.”
A few minutes later, when Hua Ha Phuong, a neighbor, discovered the incident and intervened, the foreign man stopped attacking Hung. Not until the owner of the house where Hung worked also showed up to clearly state that it was his house, and there was no stranger, did the foreign man go to the house next door.
Even when the ward police were present, the foreign man still shouted aloud. Faced with the above situation, the ward police brought the foreign man to the headquarter and invited relevant people to come to solve the problem. The whole incident was recorded by security cameras.
Because the case relates to foreigners, the ward police have reported it to their superiors for handling according to regulations.
HCMC strictly handling illegal sand mining
Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has assigned its Department of Natural Resources and Environment to cooperate with related functional agencies and the local authorities to increase regular patrols in order to timely handle any cases of illegal sand mining in the city.
The economic picture of HCMC has become brighter after the harsh Covid-19 pandemic, leading to a higher demand on infrastructure development and accommodation renovation. This means a high need of leveling and construction sand as well.
However, sand exploitation permits are issued by provinces in a limited way. HCMC has even stopped greenlighting sand mining in the city for the last 10 years. These two have resulted in illegal sand exploitation, not to mention a huge profit from such activities.
Hot spots of unlawful sand mining around HCMC are on the rivers of Dong Nai, Tac, Saigon (From Trung An Commune to Phu My Hung Commune of Cu Chi District), as well as the coastal areas in Can Gio District.
Criminals normally work in bordering areas between districts at late night, when rivers are quite deserted. They control vehicles with large-capacity pumps to mine sand and quickly transfer this volume to smaller boats for distribution.
In 2022, the interdisciplinary inspection team of Cu Chi District paid 10 sudden visits along Saigon River, together with regular night patrols to actively stop illegal sand mining. They were able to detect 1 such case and retrieved 15m3 of sand. They issued an administrative fine of VND5.5 million (US$225) to one subject on trading minerals of unknown origin.
Vice Chairman of Can Gio District People’s Committee Truong Tien Trien informed that in the first 11 months of 2022, functional teams of the district discovered and handled 23 cases of illegal sand exploitation and transportation, imposed fines of VND1.3 billion ($53,355), and retrieved nearly 8,400m3 of sand.
Particularly, information exchanges between HCMC and its neighboring provinces as to unlawful sand mining prevention and control is not consistent and effective. The site for temporary seizure of evidence is rather limited, leading to possible damage or loss. Moreover, the sanctions for illegal trading, transporting, storing, and consuming minerals with unknown origin (Part d of Article 17 in Decree No.98/2020 by the Government) are too mild.
To fully address the problem, the HCMC Department of Natural Resources and Environment is working with related state units and functional agencies to develop a detailed plan, along with proposal for more effective measures and stronger sanctions.
Passengers warned of buying invalid train tickets
Vietnam Railways has just delivered detailed instruction for train ticket buyers to check the validity of their bought items to avoid fake ones when tickets for routes of the upcoming Tet holiday are scarce.
Accordingly, nearly all seats on trains running on 2023 Lunar New Year holiday have been booked while the demands are still high. Therefore, many passengers come to ticket brokers, and some even accept to buy via unofficial platforms online, which is highly risky.
To check the validity of purchased tickets, buyers should visit dsvn.vn and choose the tab ‘Check valid ticket’. After filling necessary information such as ticket ID, train number, the departure and arrival stations, departure date, and personal paper number, they can click ‘Check ticket’ to see saved information on the system.
A careful comparison between this data and the one appearing on the corresponding boarding pass for matching information can verify whether the ticket is valid or not.
Vietnam Railways warns that passengers should not buy any tickets that are resold uncontrollably on the Internet via informal platforms. Those with such tickets might not be allowed onboard or be fined for unmatched personal information between the ticket and boarding pass.
