Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has asked state-run enterprises to map out a plan to pilot the hiring of foreign chief executive officers, the Vietnam Government Portal reported. The prime minister issued the directive at a working session with state-owned firms in Hanoi on Saturday afternoon. As such, it is vital to hire high-quality employees and pilot the recruitment of foreign CEOs and executives who are non-Party members for state-run enterprises, he said. Besides, PM Chinh told the state-owned firms to offer appropriate salaries and better employee benefits to attract workers. In 2023, state-run enterprises’ total revenue topped VND1,165 trillion (US$64.8 billion), meeting 104 percent of the target.

HÀ NỘI — Three out of five undersea cables connecting Việt Nam with the world encountered problems as of June 15, slowing down the internet speed across the country, according to local internet service providers. Vietnamese internet service providers have rolled out various measures to ensure internet connections for users, including sharing traffic between internationally connected fiber optic lines and captalising on fiber optic cables on land. There are five submarine fiber optic cables connecting Việt Nam internationally, namely APG, IA, AAE-1, Asia-America Gateway (AAG) and Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe (SMW-3). There is also a smaller cable, called TVH which is only 3,367 kilometres long, connecting Thailand, Việt Nam and Hong Kong. Besides the submarine cables, Việt Nam also has several terrestrial cables; however, most of Việt Nam's internet traffic to the world is transmitted through the undersea system.

The Americans dropped an enormous number of bombs on Việt Nam and many of them are still in the ground. However, I think that the main potential between Việt Nam and Norway is a partnership in the green transition of Việt Nam. Additionally, we are negotiating with Việt Nam on an agreement to help Việt Nam sell carbon credits from the impressive work in the forests of Việt Nam. We will continue to provide development assistance to Việt Nam, but I think it will be limited because Việt Nam now has become a middle income country. Việt Nam has been investing in offshore wind and it can look at which areas are better for offshore wind.
