Its Terminal T2, which serves international routes, welcomed more than 7 million passengers compared to its annual design capacity of 10 million."This results in an exceptionally high frequency of operations and significant pressure on services," said a representative of the airport.Despite the mounting operational challenges, Noi Bai International Airport maintained an on-time performance (OTP) rate of 74 percent between June 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025. Of the total flight delays recorded, 93.8 percent were attributed to airline operational issues, followed by weather (1.8 percent), airport-related equipment and services (0.8 percent), air traffic management (2.5 percent), and other causes (1.1 percent).Recognizing the need to improve punctuality, the airport management authority is working closely with airlines and ground service providers to roll out a series of measures aimed at enhancing OTP.Since February 1, 2024, the airport has implemented Phase 1 of the Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) model. In the first six months of 2025, the system supported the management of 100,002 flights, optimizing runway and apron use, reducing ground waiting time, and improving flight punctuality.The airport is also coordinating with the Air Traffic Flow Management Centre (ATFMC), airlines, and ground units to apply Level 3 Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) procedures—improving scheduling efficiency and mitigating delays caused by weather, military operations, and national events.To address overcapacity, authorities are accelerating the expansion of Terminal T2 through a phased construction plan that allows the terminal to remain operational. The expansion, slated for completion by late 2025, is expected to ease overcrowding, improve passenger comfort, and enhance service quality.Other ongoing initiatives include a comprehensive review of all commercial service providers to ensure service quality, transparent pricing, and professional staff conduct. The airport is also investing in passenger-friendly technologies such as biometric check-in via the VNeID platform, expanded self-service kiosks, and the ACV iCute online check-in system.In 2025, Skytrax ranked Noi Bai International Airport among the world's Top 100 best airports, placing it at number 79—up 17 spots from the previous year.The airport reiterated its commitment to working closely with all aviation stakeholders to further improve operational efficiency and passenger experience./.

The air route linking Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City was ranked the fourth busiest domestic route in the world, according to a report by Noi Bai International Aport.

This year's theme, "Human Trafficking is Organized Crime – End the Exploitation," underscores the need to dismantle trafficking networks through coordinated law enforcement and justice sector responses while ensuring that survivors are fully protected.As Viet Nam prepares to host the signing of the Ha Noi Convention, the first-ever global treaty dedicated to addressing cybercrime, it marks a pivotal moment in international cooperation against cyber-enabled crimes, including human trafficking, said Pauline Tamesis, United Nations Resident Coordinator."Together, we must strengthen our commitments to protecting trafficking victims, especially vulnerable communities and children and to dismantling organized exploitation in the digital age", she emphasized.IOM Officer-in-Charge in Viet Nam Mitsue Pembroke praised the country's leadership in promoting safe migration and preventing human trafficking, particularly through the revision of the Law on Human Trafficking Prevention and Combat in 2024.This is a remarkable milestone for Viet Nam and reflects its strong commitment to tackling this crime. The revised law lays a stronger foundation for addressing increasingly complex trafficking trends, which are exacerbated by socio-economic challenges, she stated.In recent years, trafficking in persons has grown increasingly complex across the Asia–Pacific region. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Southeast Asia has witnessed a sharp rise in scam compounds operated by transnational criminal syndicates engaged in sophisticated online fraud.According to IOM's Regional Situation Report on Trafficking in Persons into Forced Criminality in Online Scamming Centers in Southeast Asia, the number of trafficking victims forced into criminal activities who received IOM's support tripled, from 296 in 2022 to 978 in 2023./.

He also urged faster progress in FTA negotiations with MERCOSUR and in cross-border railway connectivity projects with China.According to a report presented at the event, in the first six months of 2025, Viet Nam upgraded ties with 10 countries, and signed 253 cooperation agreements, with the majority of them relating to economic, trade, investment, and science-technology cooperation.Meanwhile, nearly 300 economic diplomacy events, including trade, investment, and tourism promotion activities were hosted by Viet Nam's overseas diplomatic missions, which also supported localities in organizing over 150 promotion activities both at home and abroad, and helped facilitate 30 agreements between Vietnamese localities and international partners./.VGP

The lychees undergo irradiation treatment in Viet Nam before being shipped by sea to the U.S., preserving freshness and quality upon arrival.Dragonberry representatives said that the entry of Vietnamese lychees into top retail chains like Safeway and Costco is a significant commercial milestone and a testament to the rising demand for high-quality Vietnamese agricultural products in the U.S. market. American consumers are increasingly drawn to the unique flavor of Vietnamese lychees, and the company remains committed to quality and sustainable branding.The presence of Vietnamese lychees in major U.S. retailers not only strengthens the fruit's export value but also boost Viet Nam's position in the global agricultural market. It showcases the effective collaboration between producers, exporters, and trade authorities.Viet Nam is now the second‑largest global lychee producer, with an estimated harvest of 303,000 tons in 2025, up nearly 30 percent compared to 2024.Vietnamese lychees are currently exported to over 30 countries, including China, the U.S., Japan, EU, Australia, Canada, Thailand, the UAE, and Singapore.In 2025, first batches of Thanh Ha variety supported exports to Japan and Australia, with expansion plans into Canada, the EU, and Middle East markets./.

These providers are ramping up infrastructure development and expanding their subscriber base, with plans to scale up 5G services across the country.Despite these efforts, 5G adoption in Viet Nam remains limited. Deployment is still concentrated in major urban areas, while most users and businesses continue to rely on the well-established 4G network, which currently covers 99.8 percent of the population.The Ministry of Science and Technology plans to accelerate the rollout of commercial 5G services this year. It has set a target of reaching 99 percent population coverage by the end of 2025, with a minimum data speed of 100 Mbps.To support this goal, the government has introduced financial incentives through the National Assembly's Resolution 193. Under the policy, telecom operators that successfully install and activate at least 20,000 5G stations by the end of the year will receive a subsidy covering 15 percent of equipment costs.Viet Nam's 5G deployment officially began with lab and pilot tests in 2019, moving to commercial trials in 2020, and launched official services in October 2024, followed by rapid expansion through early 2025./.

Up to 26 percent of Viet Nam’s population can access to 5G services, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology. The current network of 5G base stations accounts for approximately 7.7 percent of the total number of 4G stations.

Therefore, the formation of trade partnerships, access to innovative technology, improvement of connectivity and attraction of investment in infrastructure are among BRICS' vital topics.The role of BRICS has been increasingly relevant given the unstable scenario of international relations, marked by the escalation of conflicts and economic fluctuations, associated with the resurgence of protectionist trends that hinder the normal flow of trade and the prosperity of nations.Some numbers clearly demonstrate the potential of BRICS, which currently represents 40 percent of the global economy, 23 percent of global GDP, 18 percent of international trade, 42 percent of the world's population, 30 percent of the planet's territory, 3.2 billion people, 36 percent of global GDP by purchasing power parity, and 72 percent of the global rare earth reserves.According to recent data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), while industrialized countries are witnessing a slowdown in the growth of their economies (2.7 percent in 2022 to 1.4 percent in 2023), developing countries in the so-called Global South have seen economic growth of around 4 percent this year. The emerging markets of BRICS are increasingly likely to consolidate the highest growth rates in the world.Viet Nam's objectives are in tune with BRICS actions and positive practices, in addition to naturally strengthening multilateral cooperation, he noted.During the summit, in addition of promoting connectivity and strengthening supply chains, Viet Nam will be able to cooperate with other members in the environmental field and partnerships for the energy transition, as well as in initiatives that promote access to innovative technologies.At the political and diplomatic level, like Brazil, Viet Nam has demonstrated its commitment to promote global peace and stability and to support more representative global governance on the international stage.Farani held that in an official statement, it was with great satisfaction that the Brazilian government welcomed the Vietnamese government's decision to join BRICS as a partner country.Viet Nam's entry will contribute to further increasing the potential, amplify the group's importance on the international stage and its centrality in the international trade value chain, in addition to reinforcing the relevance of multilateralism, noted the diplomat.Viet Nam is a stable country, with a dynamic and efficient economy and clear growth objectives. The Southeast Asian nation's admission to BRICS is very welcome and it is expected to work actively together to achieve the goals of progress in the fields of trade, investment, energy transition, environmental and social sustainability, connectivity and equal opportunities in access to innovation, underlined the Ambassador.Maturity of Viet Nam-Brazil relationsFarani said that Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will make his third visit to Brazil, reflecting the special significance of friendship and degree of trust between the two countries.Pham visited Brazil in 2023, for the first time, opening up a new milestone in the bilateral ties following his summit meeting with President Lula da Silva.Last year, Prime Minister Pham participated on the G20 meeting that took place in Rio de Janeiro. Pham and Lula announced the upgrade of the bilateral ties to a Strategic Partnership."Now, the Prime Minister will be back to our country for the third time, to participate in the BRICS Summit, as a partner country. I am quite sure that he will bring a great contribution during the summit agenda discussions. With his contemporary vision and international experience, he will contribute with constructive views about crucial issues affecting the developing countries such as energy transition, economic and financial cooperation and equal access to innovation", shared the diplomat.Viet Nam and Brazil have cultivated a positive and balanced political and economic dialogue throughout the 36 years of diplomatic relations. "However, I must acknowledge that in recent years, bilateral relations have gained tremendous momentum with the increase in high-level visits and the interest of both countries in discovering opportunities and diversifying the niches of cooperation", the diplomat emphasized.As an outcome of this growing interest, bilateral trade has reached a new record of US$8 billion. Dialogue in science, technology and innovation has been strengthened, a plan of action in the field of defense has been signed, and closer contacts in the area of agribusiness have been established. Initiatives in the field of energy transition represent another important area of cooperation. The growing bilateral partnership is a clear evidence of the maturity of the Viet Nam-Brazil relations.This year was particularly promising for bilateral relations, marked by the state visit to Viet Nam by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in March this year, followed by a large business delegation and high-ranking officials from the Brazilian parliament and government.&nbsp;Great potential in areas of cooperation between Viet Nam, BrazilViet Nam and Brazil share similarities and complementarities - the factors that contribute to build up a stronger partnership and to increase bilateral trade. With the mastery of artificial intelligence processes, the green economy and the accelerated use of high technologies, it is becoming increasingly important to incorporate innovation into the agenda of economic and trade cooperation."I believe that Brazil and Viet Nam have good prospect for cooperation in the area of energy transition, a sector in which Brazil has an outstanding experience and has been a global example in the field of renewable energy and the diffusion of its ethanol program", asserted Farani.Cooperation in the agribusiness sector has also reached a new level. The recent announcement of the decision by JBS, one of Brazil's largest business groups in the agro-export sector, to invest in two meat processing plants in Viet Nam, for an initial value of US$100 million, will enable Viet Nam to emerge as a distribution center for this sector in Southeast Asia.There is also great potential for bilateral cooperation in the areas of cybersecurity, semiconductor, digitalization, green agriculture, biofuels and new planting technologies, including forest recovery."I have no doubts about the fruitful results in the years to come of the present fruitful dialogue between the two governments and about the solid cooperation in both bilateral and multilateral aspects", said the diplomat./.

As an example of dynamism, growth and stability, Viet Nam is expected to have much to contribute to the upcoming 17th BRICS Summit, thus amplifying the group's appealing on the international stage.

He will reaffirm Viet Nam's commitment to sustainable growth and showcase the nation's strategic vision, investment potential, and dynamism as a rising market economy.He will also emphasize the Government's efforts to enhance the business environment through institutional, infrastructure, financial, and human resource reforms. Priority investment sectors will include artificial intelligence, automation, biotechnology, clean energy, infrastructure, and financial services.Viet Nam's participation at the forum affirms its active role and sense of responsibility in promoting peace, stability, development, and prosperity in the region and beyond. The country seeks to contribute to global discussions on pressing economic and development issues, gain insights into emerging trends, and share its own strategic outlook—especially in the context of implementing four major Party resolutions that mark a pivotal stage in national transformation and development.Through engagements with global and regional stakeholders, Viet Nam will further promote its image, policy orientations, and development goals. These interactions are expected to open up new avenues for cooperation, particularly in trade persification and foreign investment, as Viet Nam adapts to a rapidly evolving global economic landscape.The Prime Minister's working visit to China also holds significant importance. It is the first official visit to China by a high-ranking Vietnamese leader in 2025, following the successful state visit to Viet Nam by General Secretary and President Xi Jinping in April. The visit also coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the launch of the Year of Viet Nam–China Humanistic Exchange.Amid an increasingly complex and unpredictable global political and economic landscape, this year's WEF Tianjin Meeting is a major international event. It will gather leaders from various countries, more than 100 ministerial-level officials, and over 1,700 participants from businesses, international organizations, and academia.Under the theme "Entrepreneurship for a New Era," discussions will center on critical topics such as global economic trends, China's economic outlook, industrial transformation, smart manufacturing, investment in people and the planet, and the shift toward new energy sources and materials./.

As a special guest, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will attend the opening ceremony of WEF Tianjin Meeting and deliver a keynote speech at a key session titled “Is Asia’s Century at Risk?” said Vietnamese Ambassador to China Pham Thanh Binh.

Prince Albert II of Monaco welcomes Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh to the Blue Economy and Finance Forum (BEFF) in Monaco, June 8, 2025. Photo: VGPFrench Ambassador to Viet Nam Oliver Bochet made the above remarks during a recent interview with reporters in Ha Noi.As a littoral country with a coastline of more than 3,200km, Viet Nam faces ocean-related challenges like climate change, coastal erosion, depletion of marine resources among others, making it meaningful for Viet Nam to join the UN Ocean Conference, said the Ambassador.The conference will also provide a good chance for Viet Nam and France to affirm their shared values and viewpoints on the international stage, while working together to address global challenges.On the sidelines of the conference, Viet Nam will chair an event focused on river deltas around the world, including the Mekong Delta, said the diplomat.France is particularly hopeful that the Vietnamese leader will announce the approval of the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement). France has already ratified the treaty and encourages Viet Nam and other countries to do the same to facilitate its early entry into force.France is keen to work closely with both E.U. and non-E.U. partners such as Viet Nam to build a shared understanding of the threats facing the oceans, and to take timely, effective action before the situation becomes irreversible, the diplomat stated.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:777px;"><img src="https://bcp.cdnchinhphu.vn/thumb_w/640/344443456812359680/2025/6/8/phap-17490908425251893440446-17493704703121795201465.jpg" alt="French Ambassador highlights significance of Vietnamese Prime Minister's participation in UN Ocean Conference- Ảnh 2."></figure>French Ambassador to Viet Nam Oliver BochetRegarding bilateral cooperation on sustainable marine resource exploitation, Brochet said Viet Nam and France have long collaborated at the international level, particularly in advancing governance for the high seas, which currently lack comprehensive regulations.He also highlighted the two countries' long-standing scientific collaboration, especially in marine research. French institutions such as IRD, IFREMER, and CIRAD are working closely with Vietnamese partners on a range of projects. In addition, France is supporting Viet Nam in addressing coastal erosion, with the French Development Agency AFD implementing projects across several Vietnamese provinces to tackle this issue.France is also assisting Viet Nam in meeting E.U. requirements to lift the 'yellow card' warning imposed on its fisheries sector. As part of French President Emmanuel Macron's recent visit to Viet Nam, France announced 700,000 EUR in funding for a pilot initiative using satellite-based monitoring devices on Vietnamese fishing vessels. If successful, the program could be extended across the entire fleet, thereby helping Viet Nam meet E.U. standards.Looking at broader cooperation, Brochet emphasized that higher education and research have remained pillars of the two countries' partnership for over three decades. In light of Viet Nam's recently issued Resolution 57-NQ/TW, which calls for stronger development of science and higher education, France hopes to deepen collaboration in this area.During President Macron's visit, the French Tech Summit in Ho Chi Minh City officially launched the France–Viet Nam year of innovation, which will run until the end of 2026. This initiative aims to foster connections among businesses, universities, and research institutions from both countries to jointly address development challenges.Brochet said one key objective is to increase the number of Vietnamese students in France, which remains relatively modest. At the same time, efforts are needed to further promote Francophone culture in Viet Nam. Beyond the hard sciences, bilateral research collaboration is expanding into areas such as healthcare, biomedicine, transport, nuclear energy, space technology, and applied sciences.Finally, the ambassador stressed the importance of culture as a cornerstone of the bilateral ties. He noted that cultural exchange continues to enrich both nations and that culture and innovation will serve as vital foundations for future cooperation.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's participation in the third UN Ocean Conference reflects Viet Nam's strong commitment to addressing global challenges such as global warming, environmental pollution and biodiversity conservation, a diplomat said.

Focusing on enhancing value for key local productsIn accordance with the provincial industrial promotion plan for 2025 approved by the Lao Cai Provincial People’s Committee under Document No. 79/KH-UBND, 7 rural industrial establishments will receive funding support to implement specific development initiatives.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/062025/04/17/ven-5-lao-cai-120250604170351.png?rt=20250604170353" alt="Lao Cai races to complete final leg of 2021–2025 industrial promotion program"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Carpentry and woodworking are among industries that Lao Cai 's industrial promotion programs prioritizes support for in 2025.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>The document emphasizes encouraging and assisting organizations, individuals, and all economic sectors in investing in and expanding industrial and handicraft production. The overarching goal is to leverage local strengths, conserve resources, and especially enhance the added value and competitiveness of local products.The plan also targets rural industrial establishments in high-potential sectors with strong domestic and export market prospects, particularly in the processing of agricultural and forestry products, medicinal herbs, and handicrafts.This year, district-level industrial promotion in Lao Cai is tasked with supporting five rural industrial facilities across Lao Cai City, Bac Ha District, and Muong Khuong District through five individual projects.These include support for investment in woodworking machinery at Ly Seo So's facility in Bac Ha District; provision of agricultural processing equipment at Sung Pao's facility in Muong Khuong District; supply of mechanical processing machinery for Minh Linh Construction and Trading Co., Ltd. in Lao Cai City; assistance with mechanical production equipment for Nguyen Ngoc Thai’s facility in Lao Cai City; and installation of an automatic tea bag production line at the Agricultural Medicine and Green Technology Joint Stock Company, also based in Lao Cai City.The total budget for these activities is estimated at over VND 4.1 billion, of which more than VND 1.2 billion comes from industrial promotion funds, while nearly VND 2.9 billion is contributed by the participating businesses themselves. Currently, the Lao Cai Center for Industrial Promotion and Trade Promotion is working closely with local districts and rural facilities to implement the approved projects.Alongside these efforts, the Department of Industry and Trade of Lao Cai is also conducting a comprehensive review of the 2021–2025 industrial promotion programs to ensure that all objectives are met on schedule.Laying the groundwork for a new phase of growthLao Cai has set ambitious targets for its 2021–2025 industrial promotion program. The province aims to generate over VND 5.31 trillion in output from cottage industries, create more than 3,000 new jobs, and increase the average production scale of rural manufacturing facilities from VND 1.27 billion to over VND 2 billion per facility. The program also seeks to refine management processes and improve the capacity for executing industrial promotion activities.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://ven.congthuong.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2025/062025/04/17/ven-5-lao-cai20250604170352.png?rt=20250604170630" alt="Lao Cai races to complete final leg of 2021–2025 industrial promotion program"></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Through the industrial promotion program, Lao Cai supports the development of production and consumption of rural industrial products.

The initiatives have focused primarily on vocational training, skills transfer, managerial capacity building for rural industries, adoption of advanced machinery, and the development of signature rural industrial products.Initial assessments show that the program has effectively supported rural industrial enterprises and production facilities across the province, contributing to increased productivity, revenue, and employment. The outcomes so far suggest that the program is largely on track to meet its objectives.However, like many other mountainous provinces, Lao Cai faces certain challenges. Funding levels for industrial promotion remain relatively modest. There is also no unified software system for building a database on rural industrial development and product tracking. Furthermore, budget decentralization between provincial and district levels complicates implementation. Many districts still struggle to allocate the necessary funds to disburse support for the industrial promotion projects assigned by the province.These limitations have affected the overall effectiveness and progress of the province’s five-year industrial promotion plan. In the immediate term, Lao Cai is taking a proactive and flexible approach to ensure that funding-approved projects for 2025 are implemented and completed as planned.In the long run, the provincial Department of Industry and Trade will continue to advise the People's Committee on policy formulation to foster the industrial sector’s growth. The department will also coordinate with other provincial trade departments in the region to focus on developing key projects, value chain-based programs, and industrial cluster linkages. A close integration between industrial promotion efforts and trade promotion activities—including domestic and international trade fairs—will be emphasized, serving as a bridge to connect businesses and help build strong product branding.Hai Linh - Phu Quy

As 2025 marks the final year of the 2021–2025 industrial promotion program, Lao Cai’s Department of Industry and Trade is making a concerted push not only to fulfill this year’s targets ahead of schedule but also to review and align ongoing plans to ensure the entire program concludes with optimal results.

This would promote digital transformation, help businesses and household enterprises grow, contribute fairly to the state budget, and prevent tax losses, especially in sectors like food and beverage, and services, emphasized the Prime Minister.At the Digital Transformation Day of the banking sector in 2025, Prime Minister Pham underlined the need to improve the legal framework, mechanisms, and policies to align with practical realities.It is necessary to develop modern digital infrastructure and platforms that ensure system security, safety, and high interoperability, he noted, adding that the banking sector should diversify and personalize digital banking products and services to enhance convenience and user experience.Pham called for developing digital data resources, integrating with Project 06 to create momentum for digital transformation in the banking sector while prioritizing the development of human resources to meet the transformation needs of the banking industry.He also stressed the necessity of intensifying widespread communication efforts to raise public and business awareness about the benefits of digital transformation in the banking sector.Cashless payment activities have been widely implemented and have made remarkable progress.
