The Government would continue to refine legal regulations to address obstacles in implementing power infrastructure projects.It would build a smart and flexible power grid with high automation capabilities and address the legal issues hampering renewable energy projects, ensuring accurate and reasonable pricing to encourage the development of new energy sources.Over the longer term, the Government had proposed to the relevant authorities to restart nuclear power projects and robust development of offshore wind energy. It had also submitted to the National Assembly the proposed amendments to the Electricity Law to create institutional breakthroughs and remove legal obstacles to energy infrastructure development.“The Government respectfully requests the National Assembly to pay attention, share and coordinate with the Government to improve quality and consider passing necessary legislation at this session to promptly resolve legal bottlenecks,” PM Chính said.Digital transformationThe PM also stressed the need to promote digital transformation, as it is a strategic choice and top priority for rapid, green and sustainable development.The process was happening vigorously, creating significant opportunities but also presenting numerous challenges.With the motto 'acceleration and breakthrough' the Government and the PM were focusing on mobilising the entire political system and active participation from the people and businesses. The Government was also working to complete the digital legal framework, developing special policies to support and promote digital transformation among businesses and citizens.The Government would continue improving policies for developing scientific and technological infrastructure and persevering in research, innovation and creativity. Efforts were being made to strengthen national, regional and local innovation ecosystems, with businesses as the centre and research institutes and universities as the foundation.PM Chính also highlighted the administration's efforts to ensure that at least 20 per cent of total state budget expenditures would be allocated to education and training. There would be breakthrough policies in recruiting, using and rewarding talent at all levels, especially in new growth sectors like the digital, green and circular economies, along with the knowledge economy.“We aim to complete the training of at least 50,000 high-quality personnel to meet the semiconductor industry's development needs,” PM Chính told the assembly.

In a meeting in Hanoi with eight ambassadors and chargé d'affaires from embassies in Hanoi along with eight non-resident ambassadors from African countries, the official expressed his delight at the positive development of Vietnam-Africa cooperation over recent time, highlighting the significant milestone of Vietnam officially becoming an observer of the African Union (AU) in December 2023, and having made important contributions to support African countries in implementing the AU’s Agenda 2063 in areas such as peacekeeping, food security, agriculture, digital infrastructure development, and education and training.<table><tbody><tr><td style="text-align:justify;"><img alt="Efforts needed to create breakthroughs in Vietnam-Africa relations: Official" src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2024/092024/20/09/in_article/meeting-w-african-ambassadors20240920094506.jpg?rt=20240920094507" title="Efforts needed to create breakthroughs in Vietnam-Africa relations: Official"/></td></tr><tr><td>At the meeting between Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Do Hung Viet and ambassadors and chargé d'affaires from embassies in Hanoi and non-resident ambassadors from African countries.(Photo: baoquocte.vn)</td></tr></tbody></table>The official expressed a hope that building on this strong political relationship, the two sides will continue supporting each other at multilateral forums, especially the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the Francophonie. He also urged African countries to support Vietnam’s candidacy for important UN mechanisms, such as the UN’s General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, and the Security Council.He proposed the diplomats actively play a bridging role and enhance coordination in recommending and implementing specific cooperation plans in the near future to create a shift in trade cooperation and investment attraction.The foreign diplomats affirmed their backing for Vietnam in promoting cooperation with the AU and regional economic communities (RECs) to contribute to the continent's overall development, particularly in areas where Vietnam has strengths. They shared experiences in industrialisation, modernisation, poverty reduction, and agricultural development.Regarding economic matters, many showed their desire for Vietnam to effectively seize the opportunities brought about by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and to tap into the potential of the African common market. They suggested both sides enhance exchanges between their chambers of commerce, business communities, and people-to-people interactions, as well as facilitate visa issuance to strengthen mutual understanding and expand opportunities for economic, trade, and investment cooperation.The diplomats also proposed Vietnamese businesses increase their investments in Africa to take advantage of the young workforce and abundant natural resources.To create breakthroughs in bilateral cooperation, the two sides agreed to strengthen agricultural collaboration, actively seek third-party resources to implement trilateral projects in agriculture and education, share development experiences, and continue perfecting the legal framework, and negotiating and signing important agreements such as those on double taxation avoidance, investment promotion and protection, and visa exemptions for diplomatic and official passport holders.

Although economic cooperation between Vietnam and Africa has developed positively, it has not yet matched the potential, the strong political relations, and the aspirations of the people from both sides, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Do Hung Viet said on September 18.

Over the years, this partnership has grown from IOM health assessment programs for populations moving to destination countries to public health efforts that facilitate better access to health-care services for migrants, strengthen cross-border disease control, and public health emergency response and preparedness.</figure>Viet Nam has become a significant source of migrants, particularly those seeking employment opportunities abroad. Recent data shows a resurgence in international labor migration, with approximately 155,000 Vietnamese citizens securing employment abroad in 2023 alone, equivalent to nearly a third of the new workers entering the labor market.Similar to other countries in the ASEAN region, the burden of health issues in Viet Nam remains complex, including infectious diseases, occupational health hazards and injuries, mental health challenges, non-communicable diseases (such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes), and maternal and child health problems. Infectious diseases like HIV, AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria continue to be significant concerns.Moreover, achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) remains a challenging goal and presents an even greater challenge for migrants. Recent studies conducted by IOM in the region have highlighted the challenges faced by cross-border migrants in accessing healthcare, including language barriers, discrimination, financial constraints, lack of portable health insurance across borders, and lack of official cross-border referral mechanisms for migrant patients.They can be made even more vulnerable in pandemic situations due to inadequate access to needed health care and services, as shown during the COVID-19 pandemic.IOM's Chief of Mission in Viet Nam Park Mi-Hyung, stressed the importance of this timely collaborations to ensure the health and well-being of migrants, aligning with the goals of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).As the leading UN agency for migration, IOM commits to a longstanding and strategic partnership with Viet Nam, and in particular with the MOH, to ensure the health and well-being of all, including migrants, Park Mi-Hyung added.In Viet Nam, IOM has made significant contributions to migrant health. Some notable initiatives include the facilitation of a TB cross-border control mechanism, with 200 Vietnamese and Cambodian health professionals trained on using the DHIS2 cross-border referral system and the establishment of the Migrant Health Working Group (MHWG), a coordination mechanism to manage migrant health issues and develop migrant-friendly health interventions and policies.Through MHWG, IOM has raised awareness of health literacy for more than 23,500 migrant workers working in Japan and South Korea through innovative health handbooks./.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was inked in Ha Noi on September 18 between the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) to promote the health and well-being of migrants.

In the northern province of Quảng Ninh, directly hit by the storm on September 7, electricity has been re-supplied for over 85 per cent of the customers.EVN units in northern Việt Nam are continuing to mobilise personnel, vehicles, and equipment to repair the damage caused by the storm and ensure full power restoration to the remainders as soon as possible.The Central Power Corporation (EVNCPC) and the Hà Nội Power Corporation (EVNHanoi) have respectively deployed 273 and 200 workers to Quảng Ninh to assist in restoring the power grid.Due to heavy rainfall following the typhoon, a large volume of water flowed into hydropower reservoirs in the North, prompting the controlled release of water as directed by the National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control. Water levels in these reservoirs are declining gradually.Consequently, from 10am on September 17, the hydropower plants of Tuyên Quang, Lai Châu, Bản Chắt, Huổi Quang, Sơn La, and Hòa Bình have closed all spillway gates as instructed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, EVN said.The group noted that the 500kV power grid has fully recovered, with all 14 incidents resolved. The recently inaugurated Circuit-3 500kV line from Quảng Trạch (central Quảng Bình Province) to Phố Nối (northern Hưng Yên Province), which officially went into operation on August 29, suffered no significant damage.The 220kV power grid has had all 10 transformer station incidents and 38 out of 40 power line incidents fixed. Meanwhile, the 110kV grid has seen 101 out of 104 transformer station failures and 186 out of 190 line outages addressed.Earlier, Yagi-induced strong winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding across 17 northern provinces caused widespread power outages. In addition to grid damage, severe flooding in certain areas forced the temporary shutdown of operations to ensure electrical safety.

Officials at the conference commended this move, saying that this will speed up large project implementation, but noted that this should not apply to small projects.The draft law will also simplify the procedures for planning medium-term and annual public investment, as well as for capital appraisal.

The improved purchasing power in developed countries has had a noticeableimpact on Viet Nam's economy. Exports to the U.S., the European Union (EU), South Korea, and Japan have all bounced back over the recent months of this year.Official statistics showed that trade between the Southeast Asian nation and the rest of the world were estimated at US$70.11 billion in July and US$70.65 billion in August.If the current growth momentum is maintained, this year's import and export value will set a new record, surpassing the US$732 billion mark recorded in 2022. It should be noted that 2022 is a record year for Viet Nam's foreign trade, but no month saw import-export turnover reaching US$70 billion.During January-August, the total export value witnessed a year-on-year increase of 15.8 percent, achieving US$265 billion.Continuing the positive trend in recent months, the nation's import value hit US$246 billion in eight months, up 17.7 percent. Remarkably, Viet Nam spent US$230.95 billion on importing production materials, making up 93.9 percent. In the reviewed period, the country's trade surplus reached US$19.07 billion.Insiders said that with positive economic forecasts from developed markets and increasing imports from the U.S., Viet Nam's exports are expected to exceed US$790 billion by the end of this year.Regarding the structure of exported goods, agricultural products and minerals accounted for only 12 percent while the group of industrial goods made up over 88 percent, said Le Quoc Phuong, deputy head of Viet Nam Industry and Trade Information Center, under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.The increase in exports is mainly attributed to the rise in exports of industrial goods, reflecting the goals set by import-export strategies and plans, he shared.According to the latest report released by the S&amp;P Global, Viet Nam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) stood at 52.4 in August, signaling a solid monthly improvement in terms of business conditions midway through the third quarter.The improvement recorded in the health of the sector reflects further rapid increases in output and new orders, with respective rates of expansion remaining sharp despite easing from the particularly elevated rates seen in June and July.Improvements seen in customer demand resulted in growth of new orders, prompting firms to expand production. In some cases, the relative stability of prices helped firms to secure new business, while there were also mentions of improving international demand, and new export orders rose for the fifth month running.Manufacturers remain optimistic that output will increase over the coming year, based on expectations of further improvements in customer demand and new orders, the S&amp;P Global noted.According to the World Bank, Viet Nam's goods and services export value is equivalent to 94 percent of its GDP, ranking 14th globally./.

As Viet Nam’s key export markets show signs of robust recovery, the nation’s exports in August reached an all-time high of US$37.59 billion compared to US$36.24 billion of the previous month.
