Vietnam+ (VietnamPlus)

Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first national university, has inspired artists for centuries. Their works offer glimpses of different periods in the history of a site deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture.

Speaking at the final, Editor-in-Chief of the Tien Phong newspaper and head of the Miss Vietnam 2026 organising board, journalist Phung Cong Suong, stressed the contest’s nearly four-decade record of honouring the beauty of Vietnamese women across generations.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Tien Chau, who is also Chairman of the council, said this year’s event holds special political and legal significance as it marks 80 years of constitutional tradition, a reaffirmation of the people’s right to mastery and a pledge to build and perfect Vietnam’s socialist rule-of-law State.

The visit is expected to further deepen ties through Party, State, parliamentary and people-to-people channels, while creating breakthroughs in economic, financial, scientific and technological cooperation, innovation, education and training, digital and green transformation, and supply chain diversification, thereby contributing to a peaceful and stable environment for development in both countries.

Nearly 300 artisans representing 39 delegations from 10 cities and provinces, including Gia Lai, Quang Tri, Hue City and Da Nang, joined thousands of residents and domestic and foreign tourists at the event.

Politburo Member and Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Publicity Trinh Van suggested that Finland further promote its role as a bridge between Vietnam and the European Union (EU), while Vietnam could serve as a bridge between Finland and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). He called for effective utilisation of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and urged Finland to encourage the remaining EU member states to ratify the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA) at an early date.

Economic, trade and investment cooperation remains the core pillar and the main engine of comprehensive, sustainable bilateral ties. General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President To Lam’s official visit to Japan is therefore a key moment to reinforce political trust, deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and open new cooperation opportunities in the next growth phase.

The embassy told Vietnam News Agency correspondents in Central and Eastern Europe that it advised the Vietnamese community in Poland to avoid the area where the shooting occurred and strictly comply with safety instructions issued by local authorities.
