The proposals aim to conserve the site, located in Hoài Đức Distrct's Kim Chung Commune, without interrupting the city’s construction of outer ring roads No 3 and No 5. Plan 1 is to carry out conservation research on the 6,000sq.m Eastern area, which amounts to half of the Vườn Chuối site. The area also needs to be listed as one of the city’s relic sites. Once it is put on the list, further steps in its preservation and the promotion of its historical values will be made.

HEAD START: Liverpool’s Andy Robertson challenges Tottenham’s Lucas Moura for a header. AFP Photo Paul Kennedy As with just about every activity these days, because of COVID-19, pre-season football is that little bit different. In years gone by, around this time we normally see the likes of Manchester United playing in front of packed stadiums in Asia, Liverpool touring the United States, and even Premier League teams travelling to the other side of the world on a money-spinning and brand awareness tour. But this time around Liverpool are playing in Austria rather than Australia, Arsenal played games in Scotland, and United, for the most part, stayed at home. For me, this is not really that big of a deal. Sure, it’s sad that so many overseas supporters, who live far from home, can’t see their teams play, but from a selfish, supporter’s point of view, a training camp an hour or so away is far better than a 24 hour flight for the players who, let’s face it, are there … [Read more...] about New regulations could mean heads, you lose

A factory worker at Hà Nội's Quang Minh Industrial Zone is vaccinated against COVID-19 on Wednesday in the large-scale COVID-19 vaccination campaign. VNA/VNS Photo Minh Quyết HÀ NỘI – The Ministry of Health has confirmed it will do its best to help facilitate the import, licensing and testing of COVID-19 vaccines. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính requested the Minister of Health to direct staff to support localities and businesses to access global supplies of COVID-19 vaccines where possible. Many businesses and corporations have said they are willing to connect with suppliers of COVID-19 vaccines to purchase their own supplies. Businesses and corporations have said they would keep a portion of the vaccines for their own use but the majority would be donated to the national COVID-19 vaccine fund to vaccinate people free of charge. This would reduce the burden on the State budget and accelerate the Government’s vaccination drive, they said. PM Chính has asked the … [Read more...] about MoH to assists businesses access global COVID-19 vaccine fund
