Vietnamese lacquer work first contemporary Southeast Asian art piece in French museum
Named ‘Borderline,’ it is the first Southeast Asian contemporary craft item to be displayed by the museum. The Guimet Museum of Asian Art in Paris is one of the largest Asian art museums outside Asia, with more than 50,000 works of art on display in a space of 55,000 square meters (66,000 square yards). A collaborative work by Vietnamese artist Tran Nu Yen Khe and Hanoi-based Hanoia haute lacquer house, the product is based on the conical hat or non la, a Vietnamese icon, though it has been used in several countries. On the spire of the hat runs a floral motif layered over golden leaves threaded by a barbed wire fence. The bright red and orange colors used reflect those found in traditional pagodas in Vietnam, a predominantly Buddhist nation. Actor and artist Khe, now based in Paris, and Hanoia, a leading haute-lacquer house in Vietnam, found "Borderline" a challenging project. From Khe’s original hand-drawn sketches, the design team at Hanoia developed … [Read more...] about Vietnamese lacquer work first contemporary Southeast Asian art piece in French museum

Black bear enjoys freedom after 10 years behind bars in Vietnam
Seven months after being rescued from a bear bile farm in northern Vietnam, an Asian black bear is gradually learning to adapt to a free life. Hai Chan (Two Paws), thus named because her two other paws had been amputated by the farm's owner to make bear paw wine, believed to be a health-boosting tonic in Chinese medicine, was released from the “hellish” farm by Four Paws, an international animal welfare organization, in November last year. She was held captive in a tiny and dirty metal cage for 10 years and suffered from malnutrition and the excruciating bile extraction process. The bear is under the care of veterinarians and a keeper at a new bear sanctuary in Ninh Binh Province, two hours south of Hanoi. "Hai Chan is doing well," said a source from Four Paws in Vietnam. She received the latest health check last month, which showed her gallbladder has well recovered, the source said. This was how life looked life for 10 years for Hai Chan.

Illustrative image (Source: Internet) The ADB stated that in the ADOU2019 report which was first published in September, growth projections for Asia were downgraded to 5.4 per cent for the year and 5.5 per cent for 2020. However, in a supplementary edition of the report published on December 11, the region's GDP growth forecast was lowered to 5.2 per cent in both 2019 and 2020, a decrease of 0.2 and 0.3 per cent, respectively. The downgrade in the Asian growth forecast by the ADB’s comes amid the growth rates of China and India experiencing a decline as a result of both internal and external factors.

According to the report, the country’s GDP growth during the first three quarters of 2019 reached 7.0 per cent, the highest level in comparison to the same period … [Read more...] about ADB forecasts Vietnam’s GDP to grow by 6.9 per cent during 2019
