Vietnam's campaign against corruption, wastefulness and negative phenomena has been no exception. Critics have sought to portray it as mere political theatre, a populist exercise, or an effort that "talks tough but acts softly". Yet in May this year, that line of attack began to lose momentum. The turning point came when the People's Court of Hanoi tried former Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien and nine other defendants in connection with irregularities involving the second campuses of Bach Mai and Viet Duc hospitals.

Genuine cinema should promote humanistic values, patriotism, national spirit and the sense of responsibility for the history, rather than becoming a tool for distorting history or creating doubt about values built on the sacrifices of generations of Vietnamese people.

Public trust in mainstream media, together with the press’s pioneering role and social responsibility, remains the clearest testament to the effectiveness, resilience and enduring vitality of Vietnam’s revolutionary journalism.

Transport infrastructure development is a key task in the capital’s major development strategies, closely linked with the Hanoi Capital Master Plan with a 100-year vision and the implementation of the revised Capital Law.

As the country enters a new development phase, the anti-corruption focus is shifting from strict punishment alone to prevention at the roots, while also protecting officials who dare to think innovatively and act decisively for the common good.

A single post can reach millions of people within minutes. A short video can influence public sentiments on a broad scale. When the speed of dissemination far exceeds the speed of verification, safeguarding social trust in cyberspace becomes a matter of primary importance. That is why ideological work must adapt, move ahead of developments, take the initiative and provide guidance.

As Southeast Asia becomes increasingly hit by strategic competition among major powers, maintaining unity and cohesion within ASEAN has become a prerequisite to preserve the bloc’s central role. In this process, Vietnam has emerged as an important balancing force.

According to the Ministry of Ethnic and Religious Affairs, more than 95% of the population engage in religious or belief-related activities.

The personnel consolidation at all levels has been carried out in a methodical and rigorous manner, choosing personnel with firm political mettle, strong ethical qualities, and outstanding capabilities who have been tested through practical experience and are well-equipped to meet the requirements of the new context.

The rate of poor households plummeted from 58.1% in 1993 to 9.88% in 2015, 2.93% in 2023, and around 1.9% in 2024. In 2025, Vietnam cut more than half of its poor and near-poor households compared to 2021 under the national multidimensional poverty standard.

The biofuel roadmap in Vietnam is therefore aimed at achieving a balanced approach that advances the goals of green energy transition, environmental protection, and stability in the fuel market, while safeguarding the legitimate interests of both consumers and businesses.

Throughout different historical periods, from the struggle for national liberation to national construction and defence, the consistent viewpoint of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the State has been to place people at the centre of all development policies.

Accordingly, the Party Central Committee outlined four core requirements, all centred on a single question: how to make the system operate more accurately, efficiently, and with greater real-world impact.
