Thanh Hoa (VNA) – State President Luong Cuong visited and presented gifts to♊ officers and soldiers of Bat Mot Border Guard Station in the central province of Thanh Hoa on December 4, as part of his working trip to meet with voters following the 15th National Assembly’s 8th session.
Founded on April 30, 1959, the Bat Mot Border Guard Station is located in Kheo hamlet, Bat Mot commune, Thuong Xuan district. It is tasked with managing a 17.49km section of the borderline, including the Kheo - Tha Lau auxiliary border gate on National Highway 47, which connects to Sam To district in the Lao province of Houaphanh.
President Cuong praised the station for their effective advisory work with the Party Committee of the provincial Board Guard Command and local authorities, while effectively fulfilling its core mission of managing and firmly safeguarding territorial sovereignty and border security, fighting various types of crimes, and contributing to socio-economic development.
The officers and soldiers have been instrumental in supporting policy beneficiaries and disadvantaged families, with regular visits and gift delivery, he said.
The President asked them to further uphold their role as a core, specialised force in the construction, management and protection of the national borderlines, contributing to maintaining an environment of peace and stability, which is essential for the overall development of both the country and Thanh Hoa province.
Vigilance and accurate situational awareness are regular tasks, he said, calling for timely advice to effectively handle any contingencies that may arise. A crackdown on crimes and legal violations, particularly drug-related and cross-border offences, should continue, alongside with staying prepared with rescue and relief plans for natural disasters and epidemics.
It is essential to build a robust grassroots political system, he said, urging effective defence and border diplomacy via fostering close ties with Lao border security forces to build a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development.
The Party, State and people pay special attention to building a stronger Vietnam People's Army and border guard force in particular, he asserted.
Later, the State leader visited and presented gifts to a 102-year-old heroic Vietnamese mother and a war invalid in the district.
President Cuong also offered incense at Lam Kinh special national relic site in Lam Son town of Tho Xuan district./.
State President Luong Cuong led a National Assembly (NA) deputy delegation of Thanh Hoa to a meeting with voters in Thuong Xuan district of the central province to inform them about the outcomes of the eighth session of the 15th legislature and listen to their opinions and aspirations.
National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man requested the north-central province of Thanh Hoa to continue taking effective measures to fully tap its potential and advantages to boost economic growth while attending the 20th session of the 18th-tenure provincial People’s Council for 2021-2026 on July 8.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).
In particular, in April 2023, the two sides successfully carried out a joint operation that dismantled a major organised, transnational drug trafficking ring involving both Vietnamese and Cambodian suspects.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
