Tourists stuck on island taken to
mainland
Hi-speed
boats carry 1,000 tourists to Cua Dai Port in Hoi An city after one night
stuck in Cham Island due to big wave and wind yesterday.
More than 1,000 tourists who were stuck yesterday on Cù
Lao Chàm Island in this central province were safely taken to the mainland
this morning.
The chairman of the People’s Committee in Tân Hiệp
Commune, Nguyễn Văn An, said bad weather yesterday had prevented tourists
from leaving the island. The authorities had worked with tourism companies to
organise rooms for the stranded tourists.
Cù Lao Chàm Island is a famous tourist destination in
the province, hosting some 100,000 tourists every year. Travel between the
mainland and the island, however, depends on the weather, he said.
Besides this, the accretion at the Cửa Đại Port causes
difficulties for ships, especially when level 5 or 6 winds blow.
Previously, on February 15, more than 100 residents and
tourists were safely taken to the mainland.

Pho Hien bustling with festive
activities
A festive atmosphere is pervading the Pho Hien relic
complex in Pho Hien Street of the Red River Delta’s Hung Yen province, with
various activities showcasing the historical and cultural values of the area.
The Pho Hien relic complex lies in the villages of Dang
Chau and Ne Chau. It contains countless pagodas and temples. The site was
once a bustling commercial port on the Red River, reaching its heyday in the
17th - 18th century.
Pho Hien was second only to the Imperial capital city
of Thang Long as a trading point in Vietnam. It was well-known among foreign
traders, especially those from the Netherlands, Japan, Spain, Portugal and
China.
Along with goods, foreign traders brought various
architecture styles, customs and cultures, which were imprinted in
architectural works such as the Xich Dang literature temple, Chuong pagoda,
Hien communal house, Mau, May and Kim Dang temples.
Apart from buildings used for religious and spiritual
reasons, there are also markets, wells and cemeteries.
The variety of historical relic sites contributed to
forming a string of traditional festivals.
The Pho Hien Cultural Festival takes place in the Pho
Hien relic complex in the third lunar month every year. It features
traditional rituals, games and art performances, and culinary art, bringing
alive the history, spirituality and culture of the land.
It allows tourists to get insight into the culture and
history of the ancient river port.
The event also helps promote the locality’s potential
in tourism and service development and serves as an attractive spiritual and
religious tourism destination.
Hung Yen boasts more than 1,200 relic sites and more
than 400 local traditional festivals.
It is also the homeland of a number of national heroes
and cultural celebrities, such as King Trieu Viet Vuong, who reigned from
548-571; Pham Ngu Lao, a general in the Tran dynasty in the 14th century;
Hoang Hoa Tham, who led the Yen The rebellion against France in between
1884-1913; and late General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam,
Nguyen Van Linh, who initiated the nation’s successful reform period.-
Cuba’s Giron victory marked in Hanoi
A ceremony was held in Hanoi on April 19 to mark the
55th anniversary of Cuba’s Giron victory (April 19, 1961).
In April 1961, the US troops made an attempt to invade
Playa Giron, but they suffered a defeat and were thrown away from the island.
This victory later led to Cuba’s reunification.
Addressing the event, Sen. Lieut. Gen. Vo Van Tuan,
Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army, congratulated
the Cuban Party, State and people on achievements they have recorded in national
construction and development.
He highlighted the time-honoured friendship and
fraternity between the two countries which were established by Presidents Ho
Chi Minh and Fidel Castro and strengthened by generations of the two
countries’ Party and State leaders, people and armies to become a model and
symbolic relationship.
The Party, Government, people and army of Vietnam
always keep in their mind Cuba’s valuable support for the country’s efforts
to gain southern liberation and national reunification, Tuan said.
Along with State diplomacy and people-to-people
diplomacy, Vietnam and Cuba have also strengthened defence ties, which have
contributed to enhancing their friendship and cooperation, the officer said.
Cuban Ambassador Herminio Lospez Diaz thanked Vietnam’s
support for and solidarity with Cuba during its struggle against economic,
trade and financial embargoes.
The diplomat noted that the ongoing seventh national
congress of the Communist Party of Cuba focuses on the socialist economic
model the country is pursuing, a development plan through 2030 and the
implementation of guidelines approved at the previous congress, among others.
He expressed his hope that the updating of the economic
model will help promote economic and trade ties between the two countries.
Vietnam commits to promoting gender
equality: official
Vietnam always pledges to promote gender equality and
ensure rights of women and girls, said Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids
and Social Affairs Nguyen Trong Dam.
Dam made the remark during a conference held in Hanoi
on April 19, which aimed to review the implementation of the Convention on
the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in
Vietnam and the country’s commitments to gender equality promotion over the
last decade.
Dam highlighted Vietnam’s advancements in reforming
laws and policies as well as in applying the convention’s regulations related
to the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women in the
building and enforcement of the national laws.
Up to over 40 laws, along with a series of national
programmes and plans concerning the issue, were issued over the last five
years, creating a legal foundation for the country to strongly promote gender
equality and enhance rights of women and girls.
Dam said Vietnam has made significant achievements in
fostering gender equality and empowering women, citing that the country, for
the first time, has a National Assembly Chairwoman and three female Politburo
members.
Over 50 percent of ministries and sectors at all levels
see females holding key positions, while the rates of women owning
enterprises and those working in technical fields are high, accounting for
nearly 25 percent and 53 percent, respectively.
The Deputy Minister affirmed the ministry’s commitments
to accelerating the implementation of CEDAW, while proposing the approval of
national action programmes and plans on gender equality.
He also stressed the need to include priorities
concerning rights of women and girls in the national agenda.
UN Women Country Representative in Vietnam Shoko
Ishikawa hailed Vietnam as one of the first nations ratifying the convention,
saying that this contributed to promoting gender equality and enhancing
empowerment of women.
She also praised the country’s efforts and successes in
boosting socio-economic development and ensuring rights of women and girls,
as well as its commitments to building and issuing relevant legal documents,
especially the Laws on Gender Equality and Domestic Violence Prevention and
Control .
Participants to the forum focused their discussions on
achievements and challenges in empowering women and girls in Vietnam and
efforts of non-governmental organisations in promoting women’ enjoyment of
human rights.
The CEDAW was approved by the UN General Assembly in
December 1979 and officially took effect on September 3, 1981. Vietnam
ratified the convention on December 27, 1981.

district, 30km off the coast of the central province over three days of
vacation.
The Sa Kỳ port managing board said it had called for

tourists could not buy tickets for a sea trip from the mainland to the
island.
The island has been a favourite destination in the
province in recent years.
Last year, the island hosted 2,500 tourists during May
Day and the country’s Liberation Day (April 30).

Vietnam police set up Facebook page
to tackle crime
Police officers in a south-central province of Vietnam
announced on April 17 that the public can now access their official Facebook
page for reports and tips-off about crime.
The Facebook page can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/CanhSatHinhSuKhanhHoa/,
said Colonel Tran Huu Tuong, who is from the Department of Police in Khanh
Hoa Province.
Colonel Tuong added that citizens can report
criminal-related issues via the departmental hotline 0947 513 113, noting
that these are the two official channels.
Those who want to notify provincial police of criminal
acts just post content on the page’s timeline, send messages to its inbox, or
call the hotline for immediate support, he said.
The Facebook page doubles as a portal that provides
information about security, crime prevention, and current criminal trickery.
“Facebook has proved itself an efficient information
medium as it provides immediate contact with the public,” the official said,
adding the police department has leveraged the page as a means to battle
crime and keep locals alert.
“No matter how many officers we have, it is really hard
to detect all crime activities immediately without support from civilians,”
Col. Tuong said.
“Some cases, unknown to local authorities, have been
first busted by the witnesses as they took photos, recorded and posted
footage on Facebook.”
Blazing weather keeps affecting
central, southern Vietnam
Vietnam’s National Center for Hydro-Meteorology Forecasting
(NCHMF) has said that extremely hot weather episodes will linger in the
country’s central and southern regions for days to come, with the highest
temperature to reach 39 degrees Celsius.
Hoang Duc Cuong, NCHMF director, gave the forecast on
April 15, adding that temperatures in some locales were still at a high
level, though they were not as intense as earlier this week.
The temperature is predicted to hover around 36-39
degrees Celsius in several days, which is one degree lower than that of April
12, 37-40 degrees Celsius on average, Cuong said.
The highest temperature this week was recorded in Ba To
District of Quang Ngai, a central province, at 41.1 degrees Celsius, followed
by Dong Ha, the capital city of the central province of Quang Tri, at 41 degrees
Celsius.
The climatic phenomenon is expected to last until April

province, has experienced the highest overall temperature, over 38 degrees
Celsius, among the southern localities since the dry season.
On April 12, temperatures in Dong Phu District, Binh
Phuoc, hit 38.5 degrees Celsius, and it is now as hot as 38.4 degrees
Celsius, Quyet said.
“Compared to the same period last year, the overall
temperature is 0.5-1 degrees Celsius higher,” he said when mentioning the
temperature in southern Vietnam.
“This can last for five to seven days from now,” he
predicted, adding that the temperature would probably be 37.7 degrees Celsius
in Ho Chi Minh City during the period.
The scorching weather condition has severely affected
kids' health in the southern metropolis in recent times, causing them to
suffer from respiratory problems and diarrhea.
The northern region, including Hanoi, will be covered
with rains as cold air will spread to the area on April 17 night, Cuong said,
adding that hail and gusts may occur in regional mountainous places.
The temperature will decline dramatically from April 18
due to the climatic event, Cuong said.

cubic metres of water a week by local authorities," Hoa said. "This
amount of water is only enough for a few hundred plants. We’ve asked the

the trees won’t last long in this heat, they’ll all die like they did in
1997”.
Hoa and many other farmers have had to collect
