Vietnam and Japan agreed to expand the Comprehensive and Progressive
Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to include more countries and
regions for the future benefit of both nations, reported The Nikkei newspaper
from Japan.
The leaders have discussed the possibility of launching negotiations on a
bilateral social welfare agreement which prevents the double payment of social
security contributions for Vietnamese employers who have employees working in
Japan and vice versa, the newspaper said.
Japan also pledged to provide Vietnam with 15.6 billion JPY in Official
Development Assistance (ODA) to build educational establishments for human
resources training in the industrial sector, it added.
In addition to cooperation in economics, the Japanese media also highlighted
the Vietnam-Japan relations in East Sea issues, freedom of navigation,
promotion of respect for international law, and denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula.
The two sides exchanged concerns over the current situation in the East Sea and
shared common awareness of the significance of fostering peace and stability in
the waters and of the demilitarization through diplomatic efforts, NHK
Television reported.
PM Shinzo Abe expected that the two nations will continue taking their
partnership in maritime security to a new height and pushing for the "Free and
Open Indo-Pacific Strategy”. He stressed that the freedom of navigation is
important to the region’s peace and prosperity, reported Sankei, Mainichi,

Seven years after the 12th Party Central Committee’s Resolution, Tan Lac district has seen considerable progresses.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce decisions regarding the apparatus restructuring of the province’s political system and personnel affairs.
Following the results of the military enlistment examination for 2025, Lac Son district has seen 100 young men and women volunteering to enlist in the military. Among these recruits, there are several families where two siblings have both written voluntary enlistment letters, eager to undertake the sacred task of protecting the nation.
As the Party Organisation and people of Hoa Binh province welcome the arrival of spring, they take pride in the remarkable achievements obtained under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), which turns 95 this spring. With a shared determination to build a prosperous future, they embrace ambitious aspirations for national development, joining hands with the whole country to prepare to enter a new era-one of national progress and advancement.
In 2023, the relic site where President Ho Chi Minh visited the Chi Hoa Production Group in Lam Son commune, Luong Son district of Hoa Binh province, was officially recognised as a provincial-level revolutionary historical site. Each year, it draws numerous visitors from across Vietnam and abroad, becoming a "red address" for educating young generations on the nation's revolutionary traditions.
According to the Party Charter, Party members who have been active in the revolution for a long time, and have maintained their Party membership for 30 years and more, will be awarded the Party badge. This is a noble reward, not only a source of pride and excitement for the Party members themselves and their families, but also a source of pride for the Party organisation that has such outstanding members who are shining examples for everyone to learn from and follow.
