Q: You were the second poet in Vietnam, after Y Nhi, to win the Cikada award for Southeast Asian poets launched by Swedish poet Harry Matinson (1914-1978).

Cyril Ramaphosa: tycoon, negotiator… and S.Africa’s next leader?
Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is within touching distance of South Africa's top job, previously had his presidential hopes dashed and opted for life in business that brought him spectacular wealth. After failing to clinch the ANC nomination to succeed president Nelson Mandela in 1999, the veteran trade unionist swapped politics for a lucrative foray into business that made him one of the wealthiest people in Africa. His failure came as a surprise to many as he was seen as Mandela's preferred candidate -- with Mandela describing Ramaphosa as one of the most gifted leaders of the "new generation". Along with President Jacob Zuma's ex-wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Ramaphosa, 65, is now a top candidate to become the ANC's new leader at the party's five-day conference opening Saturday. The winner will be well-placed to be the next president. During his business career, Ramaphosa held stakes in McDonald's and Coca-Cola and made millions in deals that required investors to partner with … [Read more...] about Cyril Ramaphosa: tycoon, negotiator… and S.Africa’s next leader?

Benefiting Vietnam farmers and U.S. consumers
Benefiting Vietnam farmers and U.S. consumersThe Saigon Times Daily: Local enterprises have enjoyed lower tax rates following DOC’s administrative reviews. Can you explain this?- Nguyen Huu Dung: After suffering anti-dumping duties on frozen shrimp, tra and basa fish for several years, they have overcome the barrier by proving that they are not dumping the products. DOC has decided to apply zero anti-dumping tariffs on more Vietnamese seafood exporters. It’s understandable that the U.S. has set up barriers to imports to protect domestic producers. Local seafood processors were shocked at first by the U.S. anti-dumping measure but they have not found that this is not insurmountable. With the barrier removed, American companies might turn to local firms for cooperation. Are there any signs of cooperation between seafood companies from the two nations?- I don’t like referring to the American firms that filed the case against Vietnamese exporters as rivals, but the other … [Read more...] about Benefiting Vietnam farmers and U.S. consumers

Inventors create novel waste disposal technique
Hanoi (VNA) - Hoping to turn an idea into reality, six people with the same drive and passion devoted their time to finding the optimal solution to daily rubbish problem. Tao Nguyen Giap (left) and a group member put rubbish into the machine for burning. (Photo danviet.vn) Their story began in 2012. Do Quoc Thai, 50, from Hanoi, and five other people set up a group named Kim Cuong Viet (Viet Diamond) to develop a waste treatment machine. After years of research, they invented a technique for non-burial waste disposal. This technology applies the principle of pyrolysis, or heat used to create pressure in waste treatment. The machine the group built can treat inorganic and organic waste such as children’s diapers or medical waste. “The advantage of the technology is it can produce gas, crude oil and microbiological fertilizers after the burning process, and helps take metals and alloys for reuse in industry. It also costs less than modern technology,” said Thai, … [Read more...] about Inventors create novel waste disposal technique
