France’s AFP news agency highlighted that Vietnam became the
seventh country to ratify the trade pact, which is set to come into effect
later this year, despite US President Donald Trump's pullout from a deal he
decried as a "job killer”.
"This is an important political decision, affirming our country’s active role
in international integration”, AFP quoted Chairman of the NA’s Committee for
External Relations Nguyen Van Giau as saying.
Another international news agency, UK-based Reuters, described Vietnam as one
of the largest beneficiaries of the trade deal, saying that the Southeast Asian
country is among the region’s fastest growing economies, with its status
cemented by strong exports and robust foreign investment.
"It is not just a trade agreement, but it also requires breakthroughs in law
making and enforcement, in government management, and social governance”, cited
Reuters of the Vietnamese Government’s statement.
The Pacific Rim trade deal’s ratification also grabbed the headlines of the US
Associated Press (AP), which said "Vietnam is expected to be one of the members
that would most benefit from it, with its strong base of exports of cellphones,
garments, shoes, seafood, and agricultural products”.
According to a government study, the pact will boost Vietnam’s GDP by 1.3
percentage points, while exports will also increase by 4 percent by 2035.
"The Government should pay attention to training human resources to take
advantage of and sustain the opportunities and benefits created by CPTPP, as
well as build measures to prevent and handle any negative impacts which could
occur while implementing it,” AP quoted the NA’s resolution as saying.
Meanwhile, the Russian news outlet Sputnik and the Japanese Asahi Shimbun also
highlighted Vietnam’s ratification of the "deal of the century”.
The CPTPP was signed by Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia,
Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. New Zealand, Canada, Japan,
Mexico, Singapore, Australia, and Vietnam have so far ratified the deal.
The deal, taking effect at the end of this year, is expected to bolster
economic growth, create more jobs, alleviate poverty, and improve the living
quality of the member states. It will create one of the world’s largest free
trade blocks with a market of 499 million people and a GDP of 10.1 trillion
USD, accounting for 13.5 percent of the globe’s GDP.

Today, Tan Lac district continues to uphold this legacy while embracing development and renewal.
March 3 marked the first official working day for specialised agencies under the provincial People's Committee following the merger or transfer of functions and tasks from the previous agencies. On this day, the newly merged departments and agencies took proactive steps to arrange personnel, organise workflows, and implement tasks efficiently, ensuring that administrative procedures were carried out smoothly without interruption.
Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has thoroughly implemented and adhered to Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on restructuring the organisational apparatus of the political system towards a streamlined, efficient, and effective direction, ensuring no disruption of work.
By mid-February, Da Bac district completed a plan to streamline its organisational apparatus and personnel work, marking a milestone in efforts to promote restructuring towards a leaner, more efficient organisational system, closely following directives from the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, and Conclusion No. 121-KL/TW, and Resolution No. 27-NQ/TU of the provincial Party Committee and Conclusion No. 1103-KL/TU by the provincial Party Organisation’s standing board.

A strong Party cell ensures the effective implementation of the Party’s policies and continuous progress in all tasks," the Party Committee of Kim Boi commune, Kim Boi District, has rolled out the "four-good Party cell" model. The initiative has created a positive change, enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting spirit of Party organisations and their members.
