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.

The last fortnight has seen major cities across the country excitedly prepare to welcome Christmas, with festive elements found around almost every corner.

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.
