Lê Trung Hiếu, Deputy Director of the city’s Planning and Investment Department, said: “In my view, Metro Line No. “Therefore, the investment and construction of the metro line is seen as a pressing priority for the capital,” he said. This would serve as a primary metro line connection between Nội Bài International Airport with the city's second airport in Ứng Hòa District.

Legislators debate mandatory fees for mining organisations and individuals
However, a drawback is that this approach may lead to inconsistent compliance by mining organisations and individuals, as few localities are currently implementing this policy. On the issue of mining rights fees (Article 101), Huy noted that some deputies expressed their opinions that the fees were impractical and misaligned with current realities. There were suggestions to remove the mining rights fees altogether and clarify the difference between these fees and the resource tax. The NA Standing Committee argued that, after 13 years of implementation, the mining rights fees had helped reduce speculative holding of mining rights, limited hoarding for resale and attracted financially capable investors. For mining rights fees, the draft law proposes that State management agencies will approve the fees based on estimated mineral reserves.

What 2024 US presidential election means for Vietnam's economy
The outcome of the U.S. presidential election is unlikely to have much effect on Vietnam; however, if Donald Trump wins the vote, the impact on Vietnam's economy may be greater, according to economists. Bui Thi Quynh Nga, a senior macroeconomic analyst at Phu Hung Securities Corporation, stated that if Trump wins the election, the impact on Vietnam’s economy would be greater than if Vice President Harris emerges victorious. Meanwhile, Mirae Asset stated that the U.S. presidential election is unlikely to significantly impact Vietnam’s stock market.

Expat recounts how sour retail experiences have pushed him toward online shopping in Vietnam
Shopping is a fun experience in Vietnam, up until the time you need to find something a little unusual. After living in Vietnam for many years, I must note that the majority of my shopping experiences have been good ones. Despite some negative experiences, I've also had numerous positive ones that have made shopping in Vietnam enjoyable. The only point against online shopping was a very poor experience I had with obtaining a refund. I suppose I just need to forget my bad experiences and place some trust in local sellers before choosing to shop online.
