Under a report of the municipal People’s Committee, a total of 55 dossiers and draft resolutions have been submitted for consideration at the session - the largest number ever presented at a single sitting.

Defence Minister Phan Văn Giang said the new department reflects global trends in military science and will help enhance rapid, flexible response capabilities.

The message was conveyed during a meeting on June 11 between Blanca Eekhout, a member of the Central Committee of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and President of the Commission for the Development of Communes of the Venezuelan National Assembly, and Vietnamese Ambassador to Venezuela Vũ Trung Mỹ.

The Finnish official described Việt Nam as Finland’s largest trading partner in Southeast Asia, saying this reflects the high level of trust and significant cooperation potential between the two economies.

Việt Nam stands ready to work with countries both within and beyond the region to reinforce rules, nurture trust, promote dialogue, enhance cooperation, mitigate risks, and together shape an Asia-Pacific that is safer, more resilient and more prosperous, Party General Secretary and President Tô Lâm noted.

The ministers shared the view that Party General Secretary and President Lâm’s delivery of a keynote address at the 23rd Shangri-La Dialogue reflected the international community’s recognition of Việt Nam’s role, voice and contributions to regional strategic issues, and demonstrated its strong interest in the country’s perspectives and approaches to promoting dialogue, building trust, enhancing cooperation, and addressing common challenges.

ASEAN and China need to further promote dialogue, trust-building, connectivity and cooperation, while enhancing resilience and adaptability to shocks, thereby contributing to peace, security, stability and sustainable development in the region.

Spokeswoman of the Việt Nam Ministry of Foreign Affairs Phạm Thu Hằng on May 22 expressed Việt Nam's reaction to the indictment issued by the US Department of Justice against Cuban General Raúl Castro.
