Xe hoi viet nam

In 2007, Viet Nam will boost external religious activities together with intensifying the fight against the abuse of religions to undermine national unity. The Government Commission for Religious Affairs during a conference convened in Ho Chi Minh City on Jan. 18 defined these two tasks as its key task this year. These tasks should be done in combination with widespread dissemination of information on the Party's policies and viewpoints concerning religious issues and the State's laws, the commission said. It will also promote the training of officials in charge of religious affairs, and cooperate with other ministries and agencies in the implementation of religious activities. The year 2006 was a year of remarkable religious events. Among those activities were the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Viet Nam Buddhist Sangha, the establishment of the Therevada Khmer Buddhist Institute in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho , and the publishing of a …

HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam’s Border Guard force has undertaken strong measures to combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and prevent Vietnamese fishing boats from encroaching foreign waters over the last four years. The move is part of the country’s concerted effort to soon remove the European Commission (EC)’s “yellow card” warning against its seafood products. Among the measures, top priority has been given to educating fishermen and raising their awareness of IUU fishing and related regulations so as to heighten their sense of responsibility and stop them from illegally entering waters of other countries, Colonel Phạm Xuân Diệu, Deputy Chief of Staff of the force, told the Vietnam News Agency. The force has increased patrols and taken a tough stance on IUU fishing violations. Thanks to such efforts, 574 violators have been brought to light, with a total of VNĐ21.6 billion ( over US$948,000) paid in administrative fines, Diệu said. The force reported 33 …

VNA/VNS Photo Huỳnh Thế Anh By Ollie Arci and Ly Ly Cao HÀ NỘI — As the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, the looming climate crisis has fallen down the agenda, with efforts to stave off future environmental catastrophe waylaid in favour of immediate public concerns. However, as global leaders highlighted at the recent UN General Assembly meeting in New York, humanity is on the edge of an abyss in terms of its heavily damaged ecosystems. Last November, the Vietnamese Government adopted the amended Law on Environmental Protection, which provides a legal framework on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The application of the decree will be followed by a circular on January 1, 2022. Such a framework compels companies to find solutions and take ultimate responsibility for their plastic consumption and production. In Việt Nam, the EPR concept was first introduced in the …

Compiled by Thiên Lý The volume of goods transported through southern ports has been rising by an average of 20 per cent a year in recent years, according to a report by Vietcombank Securities Company (VCBS). The rate in the north has been 13.2 per cent. Data from the General Statistics Office shows that in the first half of this year seaports in southern provinces like Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu, Tiền Giang and An Giang achieved high growth rates. VCBS analysts said there are several reasons for this. They shared some common advantages with the rest of the country like the high growth in Việt Nam’s exports and imports thanks to free trade agreements it has signed with several countries that are starting to take effect. Market Research Company Fitch Solutions has forecast Việt Nam’s trade to grow at an annual rate of 11 per cent between 2021 and 2024. The Government’s pro-active investment in the logistics infrastructure in recent years has helped attract supply …
