Vietnam to Benefit from Chinas Increased Market Access

Chinese Premier Li Qiang made the statement during his talks held in Beijing, China, on June 26 with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. Sharing Li Qiang’s delight at the development trend of the bilateral ties since the historic visit to China in late 2022 by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Nguyen Phu Trong, PM Chinh stressed that the Party, State, and people of Vietnam consistently place importance on boosting the sound relations with the fraternal Chinese Party, Government, and people. This is the unwavering policy, the strategic choice, and the top priority in Vietnam’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification of external relations, he said.

Vietnam enjoys post-pandemic period with festive Christmas celebrations

Hình ảnh
The last fortnight has seen major cities across the country excitedly prepare to welcome Christmas, with festive elements found around almost every corner. Primary schools and nurseries can be heard blaring out traditional Christmas songs to welcome arriving students, shopping centres have launched a range of promotions to lure in customers looking to buy gifts, and many businesses and residential buildings have put up an array of festive decorations to mark the occasion.

I recall one year seeing staff hurriedly removing festive decorations at Royal City ...

Lucky money giveaway – an exchange of best New Year wishes

Lucky money giveaway is a long-standing practice that represents “mung tuoi” or “li xi”, literally meaning “congratulation on a new age”. According to the book “Viet Nam phong tuc” (Vietnamese customs) by scholar Phan Ke Binh (1875 – 1921), after worshipping ancestors, descendants offer lucky money and bow twice to their grandparents and parents. In return, the seniors also give several coins as lucky money to their children. In the country, lucky money giveaway is a custom at the start of a lunar new year. People often put the money in a red envelope, which is meant to pray for good luck and drive away evil spirits. The practice is also intended to wish small children good growth and learning success and the elderly, longevity and good health. Given its meaning, lucky money giveaway has long been a cultural identity of Vietnamese people once Tet arrives.
