Behind Việt Nam’s impressive semiconductor industry lies a critical bottleneck: the ability to translate chip designs into commercially manufactured semiconductor products.

The exhibition will bring together nearly 200 startups, enterprises, and startup support organisations from 18 key industrial cities in the Republic of Korea, alongside hundreds of Vietnamese importers and distributors.

Science and Technology Minister Vũ Hải Quân has called for science and technology diplomacy to become a strategic tool for enhancing Việt Nam's technological autonomy, attracting global innovation resources and helping the country master critical technologies amid an increasingly competitive global landscape.

HCM City is hosting an exhibition of commendation records and valuable historical documents of war veterans to express deep gratitude to the generations who sacrificed for national independence.

The commemoration is a major event of special significance, honouring the life, career and outstanding contributions of the luminary to the nation's culture, science and education.

Between January and July, Hà Nội welcomed approximately 5.31 million international visitors, an increase of 25 per cent compared to the same period in 2025, while the domestic tourist number reached 15.85 million, up 11.9 per cent.

Fifty-eight years after the 1968 Tết Offensive and General Uprising, the search for and recovery of the remains of liberation fighters reportedly missed in action on the northern outskirts of HCM City is renewing hope for families who have spent decades waiting for news of their loved ones.

Four months into the 500-day campaign, teams have already recovered nearly 1,400 sets of remains, and new DNA science is bringing more soldiers' names back every week.

Unlike previous efforts, which depended largely on wartime documents, eyewitness accounts and personal belongings, the Gene Bank offers something those methods cannot: a permanent genetic reference that can be matched with unidentified remains of fallen soldiers whenever new evidence becomes available.

The Urban Development Bill will open up new opportunities for HCM City, but experts say ambitious mechanisms are needed urgently if the southern metropolis is to become a regional innovation hub and global city.

The Ministry of Public Security is proposing to extend suspended sentences to offenders jailed for up to five years, allowing courts to substitute a fine for a custodial term under certain conditions.

The event served as a meaningful people-to-people diplomacy activity and a way to express appreciation for the ambassador’s contributions to the friendship between Việt Nam and Malaysia, while introducing Vietnamese heritage to international guests.
