which will be sourced from the city's budget.
The municipal construction department has been assigned the
work of implementing the plan. The department plans to complete the
collection of tree data by 2016.
The GIS will help to position the trees, classify their types
and identify the trees' state of health, the department said.

Car driver arrested for crash killing teen
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has ordered the
Phuc, who doubles as chairman of the National Committee for
Traffic Safety, ordered Phu Tho police to investigate the cause of the
accident and strictly punish the car driver, if found guilty.
The accident happened at 1:30 p.m. on April 1 near a school in
Phu Tho’s Thanh Ba District. The sedan belonging to the Phu Tho Province’s
Labor Federation suddenly plunged into the left side of the road and crashed
into a group of schoolboys standing on the roadside.
One of the victims, 15, died on the spot.
The four other boys, all aged 13, were severely injured. They
were rushed to hospital with multiple injuries. Eyewitnesses said the car
driver seemed to have lost control of the vehicle shortly before the crash.
Police arrived at the accident site and arrested Nguyen Xuan
Hoi, the 32-year-old driver, for questioning.
Tested showed Hoi was not drunk when he caused the accident.
He told police he had tried to evade a motorbike and swerved
into the left side of the road, causing the accident.
Initial investigation showed Hoi had been driving on the wrong
lane.
He has been taken into custody for further investigation.
Deputy PM Phuc sent condolences to the family of the dead
victim and his regards to the injured ones, and asked Phu Tho authorities to
provide them with the best treatment.
In 2013, a senior official in the Central Highlands
The accident killed one man on the spot and critically injured
three others.
But in a move that raised public eyebrow, in late 2013 state
prosecutors dropped criminal charges against that official.
First quarter sees increase in Vietnamese overseas workers
More than 25,000 Vietnamese labourers, including 7,733 women,
worked overseas in the first quarter of the year, a 10.7 per cent increase
compared with the same period last year.
This was revealed by the department of overseas labour (DOLAB)
under the labour, war invalids and social affairs ministry.
In March, only about 8,560 labourers went abroad for work. Of
them, more than 2,500 were women.
Nearly 6,000 Vietnamese workers are working in

Fire razes coconut fibre-processing company in Ben Tre
About 75 fire fighters were mobilised at midnight on Wednesday
to extinguish a fire blazing inside a warehouse owned by Dua Vang Ltd. Co. in
the southern
Colonel Nguyen Quang Minh, head of the provincial Police's
Fire Fighting and Prevention and Rescue Police Division, said on Thursday
that the fire broke out at around 11.30pm in the workshop that processes dry
coconut fibre in Tan Binh Commune, Mo Cay Bac District.
Fire fighters from the neighbouring Mo Cay Nam District and
provincial forces also joined in the attempt.
A total of five specialised fire engines and numerous water
pumps were employed to put out the blaze, which was completely extinguished
only after seven and a half hours.
Initial reports indicated that the whole 500 square metres
(sq.m.) steel-framed and iron sheet-roofed warehouse collapsed and all
coconut fibres inside were burnt down.
The fire-fighting forces succeeded in preventing the fire from
spreading to the administrative areas of the company, as well as local
residents' houses nearby.
Colonel Minh said this was the second large-scale fire to
break out in the province within a week.
On March 27, a fire broke out inside the warehouse of Cay Dua
Clothing and Apparel Ltd. Co. in Quoi Thanh Commune, Chau Thanh District,
which had burnt down more than 1,000 tonnes of cloth and destroyed the entire
3,000sq.m site. The loss was estimated to be VND10 billion (US$460,000).
Dong Nai firm to compensate injured worker
The
Dong Hiep Phat Mechanic Co Ltd in Tan Bien Ward, must pay the
worker, Vu Ngoc Dung, VND464 million (US$21,340). Dung has worked for the
firm since 2012, earning VND2.5 million ($115) per month.
But he lost consciousness a month after the shock while at
work, and would remain in a vegetative state for the rest of his life,
according to doctors at the southern
Previously, the company paid Dung VND71 million ($3,260) for
initial treatment costs.
MoT holds talks on bus services
An online conference was organized by the Ministry of
Transport on Wednesday to discuss measures for modernising the country's bus
stations and improving their quality of service.
Deputy Minister of Transport Le Dinh Tho said that in
accordance with the country's standards, bus stations must integrate a
variety of transport services, such as running short and long-distance buses
and taxis.
However, many of the country's bus stations failed to meet
those criteria, especially those located in remote and mountainous areas.
The minister said there was a gap in the quality of services
rendered at the old and the newly renovated stations, with the latter having
been improved and operated under a public-private partnership model.
In addition, local agencies and authorities had failed to
co-ordinate efforts in planning and managing bus stations in the respective
territories.
Poorly enforced regulations and the lack of an effective
control mechanism had contributed to the rampant unfair business practices
employed by these makeshift and illegal stations.
Tho pointed out that inefficiency in traffic route planning
was another shortcoming of traffic authorities. "Some stations were
overcrowded, while others were experiencing less traffic, compared with
capacity," he said. "It is well within the scope of the authority's
ability to regulate traffic, but we have still failed to figure out an
effective arrangement."
Representatives from bus stations also voiced their concerns
over the lack of consistency and transparency in traffic route planning.
"Public-private model stations were dependant on the
city's long-term traffic route planning for operation and returns on
investment. Sudden changes in the city's planning have placed us in a
difficult situation," the Director of the Ha Noi-based Nuoc Ngam Bus
Station Nguyen Van Lap said.
The President of the Viet Nam Automobile Transportation
Association, Nguyen Van Thanh, urged the country's traffic authority to
formulate more policies to encourage and support bus stations built with the
public-private model, as well as to adopt measures to improve transparency
during the planning process.
There are 478 bus stations across the country. Of these, 213
were equitised or became entirely privately-owned.
Children's right to nutrition needs global collaboration
Human rights, including the right of children to have good
nutrition, were discussed by international members of parliament at a
conference held here yesterday.
The conference was organised by the United Nations Children
Fund (UNICEF) in co-ordination with the Viet Nam National Assembly's Foreign
Affairs Committee.
The conference entitled The role of parliamentarians in the
fulfillment of children's right to nutrition followed last week's
Inter-Parliamentary Union meeting.
Participants, including parliamentarians from around the
world, Vietnamese and international specialists on women and children raised
a series of issues on ensuring the rights of mothers and children.
They also shared experiences, debating the effective
participation of parliaments. They also focused on the negative side of
private business involved in child care.
Vice Chairman of
He called for collaboration at regional and global levels in
fulfilling chidren's right to nutrition.
"Child nutrition is one of the important millennium
development goals, contributing to the reduction of child mortality,"
said Luu.
Christiane Rudert, a nutritionist from the UNICEF East
Asia-Pacific regional office, spoke of the global picture of malnutrition
with a focus on Asian countries.
She also produced a global map showing the high rates of
stunted children in
She said 161 million children under five were too short for
their age, claiming that of the 51 million children that were malnourished,
17 million of them were far too thin..
Rudert said that severe wasting contributed to two million
deaths a year. She also said about 42 million children were overweight and at
risk of chronic illness, such as diabetes, and about two billion people were
deficient in key vitamins and minerals, especially iodine, iron, vitamin A
and zinc.
Christine warned a prevalence of under-nutrition which remains
unacceptably high despite economic and development progress.
She said improved breast feeding could lessen the problems and
called for a strong political commitment to scale up programmes.
Sharon Garin from the
The improvement of the population's awareness on
mother-and-child nutrition, including knowledge on reproductive health care,
were the focus of the programme, said Garin.
Downtown street blockage causes traffic chaos
The blockage of parts of Pasteur and Le Duan streets in HCMC’s
District 1 since Tuesday afternoon has led to severe traffic congestion on
nearby streets during peak hours.
Many road users have not been well informed of alternative
routes after the
Many office workers in the downtown area worry that traffic
congestion will occur during peak hours until May 6 when the road sections
are blocked to make room for preparations for the 40th anniversary of the
city’s liberation on April 30.
Nguyen Thanh Chung, director of the HCMC Department of
Transport, told the Daily that the road blockage for more than one month was
proposed by the unit in charge of organizing celebrations of this important
event, not by the department.
Chung said in addition to setting up a stand in the blocked
area, the unit needs much time for security arrangement.
After the Government approved a plan for holding activities to
mark the 40th year of

Epidemic outbreaks found in HCM City
At least seven schools in
Seven children and one care taker at Tuoi Ngoc Kindergarten
were sick with chickenpox on January 1, and In February, ten students at
Nguyen Du Primary School were found with chickenpox. The disease was found at
two other primary schools in March.
Students at Hoa Mi and Son Ca kindergartens were infected with
hand-foot-mouth disease, while many students at
The Centre for Preventive Medicine in
Dr. Nguyen Tri Dung, director of HCM City Centre for
Preventive Medicine, said hot weather was an ideal environment for the spread
of viruses.
In the first three months, the city had 1,155 hand-foot-mouth
cases. The city's hospitals also reported 3,000 dengue fever cases, an
increase of 43 percent compared to the same period last year -- two people
have died.
The health sector has put contagious respiratory diseases
under close monitoring and is carrying out more preventive measures to
maintain healthy living environments, especially as many people move around
the country during the six-day holiday of Liberation Day on April 30 and May
Day on May 1.
Lam Dong: Drought damages 60,000 hectares of coffee
Up to 60,000 hectares of coffee in the Central Highlands
province of Lam Dong are vulnerable to lost productivity due to the impacts
of prolonged drought, said the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural
Development.
The devastating drought has posed risks to agricultural
production in the region. Bao Lam district was unable to provide enough water
for 16,500 hectares of industrial crops, mainly coffee and tea in March and
200 hectares of coffee in Dam Rong district withered due to water shortages.
According to the latest survey conducted by the provincial
Bureau of Water Resource Management, water levels in local reservoirs have
been 1 metre lower than the same period last year.
The situation has affected over 1,500 hectares of crops in the
province, leading to 30-40 percent drops in productivity from the previous
season.
The acute drought is forecast to continue in Don Duong, Duc
Trong, Lam Ha and Di Linh districts.
The provincial People’s Committee has urged relevant agencies
to take measures to counteract the drought, focusing on upgrading irrigation,
dredging ponds and reservoirs and freeing the flow of streams to make full
use of water resources.
At the conference on the prevention of ill effect of beer and
wine held today, Hanh said Vietnam spends around US$3 billion a year for beer
and VND16 trillion (US$744.2 million) a year for trademarked wine.
The spending on wine of $744.2 million is counted on the
lowest price of wine, she added, meaning that the real expenditure for wine
is still higher than that due to different prices of wine in the local
market.
The amount of wine self distilled at home in
The average consumption of beer and wine in the world has not
increased in the last ten years, around 6.2 liters of wine per capita a year.
Meanwhile, it has almost doubled in Vietnam in the same
period. Each Vietnam people consumed an average of 3.8 liters of wine a year
in 2003-05, and 6.6 liters a year in 2010, according to Hanh.
It is forecast that each Vietnamese people will drink an
average of seven liters of wine a year in 2025.
Tran Thi Trang, deputy head of the legal department under the
Ministry of Health, said at the meeting that alcoholic beverages have direct
involvement in three kinds of cancer and seven other kinds of cancer
indirectly.
She added Vietnam is compiling a law to prevent the ill
effects of wine and beer.
VNA intensifies information supply for Vietnamese in RoK
Articles in the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)’s Tin Tuc (News)
daily will be posted on the National Farmers’ newspaper’s website
(www.nongmin.com) from the Republic of Korea (RoK) in a bid to provide
information and news for the Vietnamese community living in the country.
The two sides inked an agreement on cooperation on April 2, in
which the National Farmers’ newspaper, one of the RoK’s leading newspapers,
will organise a column dedicated for Vietnamese readers.
In July 2013, the Tin Tuc newspaper became the first in Vietnam
to cooperate with the RoK’s Nonghyup (Agricultural) Bank in publishing and
providing the Tin Tuc daily to the bank’s customers at its 5,200 transaction
points across the RoK.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, VNA Deputy Director General
Le Duy Truyen appreciated the cooperation between the two newspapers.
With a network covering all 63 Vietnamese localities and 30
countries worldwide, the agency operates over 60 information products
including the key information source Tin Tuc newspaper, he said.
The cooperation between the two newspapers is in line with the
VNA’s policy of intensifying the provision of accurate information for both
domestic and international readers, including the Vietnamese community in the
RoK as well as Vietnamese-speaking Koreans, he added.
Accelerated customs clearance requires coordinated efforts
Closer coordination between customs and agencies concerned is
required to enable speedier customs clearance, shared participants of a
teleconference in Hanoi on April 2.
Under a resolution recently issued by the government, the
duration for clearing exports and imports through customs is to be cut to
less than 10 days and 12 days, respectively, by late 2016, in order to be on
par with the average of the ASEAN-4( Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and
Thailand).
To that end, it requires determined efforts from the customs
sector and other units, said Deputy Head of the General Department of
Customs’ Customs Reform and Modernisation Committee Le Nhu Quynh.
According to the 2013 report by the General Department of
Customs, 28 percent of the time needed for customs clearance is consumed by
the customs sector, with the remaining by other State management agencies
including the Ministry of Industry and Trade, border gate management units,
storage enterprises, port authorities and logistics firms.
Pham Thanh Binh, a customs advisor from the US Agency for
International Development’s Governance for Inclusive Growth programme, spoke
of shortcomings in specialised management of cargos subject to customs
clearance, including overlapping and cumbersome procedures.
Deputy Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s
Export-Import Department Do Thi Thu Huong called for the streamline of legal
regulations to reduce overlapping management and shorten customs clearance
process.
Regulations on tracking the origin of goods and customs
incentives to firms were also clarified at the event.
Bac Lieu asked to further cut poverty in ethnic minorities
The poverty rate in ethnic households in the Mekong Delta
province of Bac Lieu is cut down by 2-3 percent a year on average thanks to
the implementation of State policies specifically designed for these groups,
a provincial official said on April 2.
Bac Lieu is currently home to the Kinh, Khmer and Hoa
(Chinese) ethnic groups with the Khmer and Hoa numbering over 110,000, or
10.2 percent of the local population.
Policies designed for ethnic groups, including those on
residential land, production land, vocational training, and health insurance,
have been strongly implemented, Vice Chairwoman of the provincial People’s
Committee Le Thi Ai Nam reported at a working session with Minister-Chairman
of the Government’s Committee for Ethnic Affairs Giang Seo Phu.
All poor and near-poor households have been provided health
insurance cards and benefited from preferential treatments as stipulated in
the State’s regulations, she added.
The official asked the Government to increase financial
assistance for the implementation of ethnic minority policies and provide
special policies on tax, credit, and craft villages so as to attract
investment and create jobs for ethnic workers.
Speaking highly of Bac Lieu’s achievements in ethnic minority
affairs, Minister-Chairman Phu pointed out the life of local ethnic minority
people still face an array of difficulties.
He told the province to make thorough surveys of
poverty-stricken families so as to work out appropriate measures to rapidly
reduce poverty in the ethnic minority community.-
Gender violence examined in relation to legal services
Vietnam's judicial system fails to clearly define or set aside
punishment for gender violence, due to which, gender violence victims -
mostly women - encounter difficulty in accessing legal services.
This was stated by experts during a two-day workshop that
began in Hanoi on April 1. The workshop discussed gender stereotyping in the
justice system and women's access to justice in cases involving gender-based
violence. It also reviewed penal procedural codes, discussions on which
attracted representatives from the Ministry of Justice, United Nations (UN)
Women, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime and the Centre for Studies and
Applied Sciences in Gender, Family, Women and Adolescents (CSAGA).
CSAGA Director Nguyen Van Anh said the latest national
research on domestic violence, which was conducted in 2010, showed that 87
percent of the women taking part in the research had not sought support from
authorities or any other public services. As many as 66 percent of domestic
violence victims did not feel satisfied with the mediation carried out in the
community, and more than 70 percent of the mediation cases did not achieve
expected results.
Anh said the process for accessing legal support was so
complicated.
"Moreover, present norms regulated that if domestic
violence victims wanted to receive legal support, they must be poor women,
old women, disabled women or women from ethnic minorities, thus the number of
women receiving legal support was limited," she said.
The law directs that couples in disagreement must be
supervised after the mediation, but in fact, no inspectors were assigned to
do the job, she added.
For instance, a woman had chosen to remain anonymous in
Hanoi's Ung Hoa district after recently being bitten by her husband. Even
though the Chairman of the Commune's People's Committee and Head of the
Commune's police had come to her rescue, she was advised to keep calm and
resolve the case herself. Returning home, she was bitten once more by her
husband for dishonouring him before the local authorities, Anh said.
Nguyen Thi Kim Thoa, Director of the Department of Criminal
and Administrative Law under the Ministry of Justice, said the Laws on
Labour, Domestic Violence Prevention and Control, Human Trafficking
Prevention and Control and the Penal Code should be revised and harmonised
and the necessary amended regulations should be added.
Information about shelters for domestic violence victims
should be announced in public. Workers at the shelters should be imparted
knowledge about the relevant laws so that they can give proper guidance to
the victims.
Anh added that legal support teams, with participation of
students and teachers from law universities and schools, should also be set
up.
"Compulsory alcohol detoxification for people indulging
in domestic violence should be included in legal regulations as reality has
proved that alcohol makes domestic violence more serious," she said.
Ca Mau forests fire-prone
Prolonged intense heat and strong winds have led to droughts
and fire alerts in forests across U Minh Ha and Hon Khoai island areas,
according to the Forest Management Department in the southernmost province of
Ca Mau.
There have been 37,915 hectares of U Minh Ha cajuput forest
and 533 hectares of forest in Hon Khoai island drying completely, including
more than 7,000 hectares with a high risk of fire.
Water is rapidly draining at nearby locations.
In a bid to prevent forest fires, Ca Mau has implemented a
number of precautionary programmes, including around-the-clock patrols, fire
drills, and logistics planning.
The local U Minh Ha cajuput forest covers 75,000 hectares,
including a valuable 8,000-hectare primeval forest within the Vo Doi national
forest.
Learning center established to promote social sustainability
The Asian Institute of Technology and international
development partners established a Vietnam Learning Center on Environmental
and Social Sustainability on April 2 to foster knowledge exchange and
capacity building relating to environmental and social safeguards and
standards in Vietnam.
The center is being established with initial funding support
from the Australian Government and other development partners.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on April 2 to this
effect. This was the result of efforts by different development partners,
including the World Bank Group, Asian Development Bank (ADB), the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID), and Asian Institute of
Technology Center in Vietnam.
“Vietnam’s SEDS seeks more environmentally and socially
sustainable development. This requires attention to environmental and social
safeguards in executing the country’s huge infrastructure development
program,” said Victoria Kwakwa, the World Bank Country Director for Vietnam.
“The mission of this center is to help fill the gap in Vietnam’s social and
environmental safeguards capacity.”
The learning center, housed at the Asian Institute of
Technology Center in Vietnam, will offer capacity building to project
management units, district and provincial authorities, consultants and other
stakeholders in social and environmental issues.
“Vietnam has taken great strides in recent years in
introducing legislation dealing with social and environmental safeguards, and
is rightly seen as leading the way in Asia in areas such as payment for
forest ecosystem services,” said Tomoyuki Kimura, Country Director for the
Asian Development Bank. “The challenge now is to ensure that the country
develops the necessary technical skills and capacity to effectively implement
its safeguard requirements.
ADB is delighted to be supporting the learning center and
believes it has a major role to play in developing highly skilled safeguard
professionals in Vietnam, and so contributing to the country's move towards a
path of environmentally sustainable growth, Kimura said.
Given the surge of investments in infrastructure sector and
Vietnam’s challenges on environmental pollution and climate change related
vulnerability, the center is expected to play a critical role, in building
long-term capacity on environmental and social aspects of development
projects and programs in Vietnam on a sustained basis.
Vietnam, Germany strengthen vocational training
German Industry and Commerce Vietnam (GIC) is funding an
exchange programme in two German cities between Vietnamese and German
stakeholders and decision makers on vocational training.
The trip, which takes place between June 22 and 26 in
Magdeburg and Nuernberg, is part of a co-operative programme between the
German Federal Ministry and Vietnam.
Vietnamese participants will be taught about the structure of
the German vocational training system, take a tour of vocational schools and
private training centers, and seek opportunities with German partners.
Germany's vocational training system, which combines theory
and practice, has been applied in Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh City exhibitors head to Cambodia
Nearly 50 exhibitors from Ho Chi Minh City are showcasing
their products at the Vietnam-Cambodia Trade-Service-Tourism Exhibition 2015
(Ho Chi Minh City Expo 2015) in Battambang city, 300km to the northwest of
Cambodia.
On display at 80 pavilions are agricultural machinery,
processed food, plastic products, and electronic equipment, among others.
The annual event is a venue to provide Cambodian consumers
with a range of high-quality products, Vice Chairwoman of the Ho Chi Minh
City People’s Committee Nguyen Thi Hong said in her opening remark on April
1, adding that it is expected to continue to be an effective bridge
connecting Vietnamese businesses with Cambodian customers.
Chan Sosphon, Governor of Battambang province, spoke highly of
the HCM City’s initiative to organise the event, stressing the exhibition
will consolidate and elevate the traditional comprehensive cooperation
between their two nations.
Numerous activities are scheduled to take place during the
five-day exhibition, including cultural exchange programmes, art
performances, free medical examinations and the offering of gifts to
Vietnamese nationals and impoverished residents in Battambang.-
Fish released in honour of Vietnam Fisheries Day
Nearly 1 tonne of shrimp and fish fry were released into
rivers and ponds in Mo Cay Bac district, the Mekong Delta province of Ben Tre
on April 1 as part of activities to mark the Vietnam Fisheries Day (April 1,
1959-2015).
Held by the provincial Fishery Association, the annual event
also aimed to raise public awareness of legal regulations on aquatic
resources, and the role of resources preservation for sustainable fisheries.
The same day, the department of agriculture and rural
development of southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province organised a fishery festival
in honour of the Day, during which nearly 500,000 shrimps and 30,000
butterfishes were let out into the sea.
According to Cao Xuan Tieu, Deputy Director of the department,
with a 160km coastline, the locality’s annual sea catch reaches nearly
300,000 tonnes, while aquaculture output is 15,000 tonnes, generating jobs
and stable income for 99,000 labourers.
With the same purpose, the Fishery Department of the Mekong
Delta province of Vinh Long also set free 147,000 fish fry on the occasion.
Vinh Long has 2,600 ha of aquaculture farms.
Phu Yen celebrates 40 years of liberation
The central coastal province of Phu Yen celebrated the 40th
anniversary of its liberation with a ceremony on April 1.
Addressing the event, Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee Dao Tan Loc recalled the province’s liberation day, highlighting
the victory in Phu Yen was a milestone towards national reunification.
The province has made strong socio-economic achievements with
an annual economic growth over 11.5 percent from 2010 to 2014, he added.

million VND (1,400 USD) and its impoverished household rate decreased to 9.73
percent.
On behalf of the Party, Senior Lieutenant General Ngo Xuan
Lich, Chief of the General Department of Politics under the Vietnam People’s
Army, lauded Phu Yen’s achievements and contributions to current national
development initiatives.
The province should orient itself towards comprehensive and
sustainable growth, he said, stressing that Phu Yen holds an important
strategic position in the development of the region.-
