Huynh Duc Linh, a Vietnamese physical education teacher, is pursuing his dream of teaching swimming to one million kids in Vietnam, spending the last six years teaching over 10,000 students.

HOPES OF A NATION: Hoàng Thị Ngọc Hoa is expected to shine in the women's marathon. Photo courtesy of Tiền Phong Marathon Thanh Nga HÀ NỘI — Vietnamese marathon runners are hoping to do better on home soil than they have in recent years at the SEA Games. The marathon is a highly-competitive event at the regional Games, with powerhouses Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand all hoping to do well. Although Việt Nam topped the team’s rankings in track and field in various editions of the Games, the marathon is not always a 'golden' category like the short or medium runs. In this year’s Games, the Vietnamese marathon team registered two athletes in each event with a desire to bring home gold medals. The veteran Phạm Thị Hồng Lệ is set to compete at the 10,000m event in which she is the national record holder.

Workers during a shift at an animal feed factory in northern Ninh Bình Province. — VNA/VNS Photo Thống Nhất HÀ NỘI — While Việt Nam's economic recovery was gaining momentum, the Government must pay more attention to "inflation and heightened risks of weaker global demand and supply disruptions to economic prospects", said a World Bank report on the South East Asian economy for May.

To mitigate risks to export performance, diversifying trade partners would be a prudent strategic consideration. During the month of April, the country's industrial production index grew by 9.4 per cent, comparable to the pre-pandemic … [Read more...] about WB warns of heightened risks looming
