The incidence of non-communicable diseases too has increased, including in Vietnam where they cause 70 percent of deaths, he said. “So the health sector in the country has expanded co-operation with other countries and adopted global scientific advances for the prevention and treatment of diseases.” The Government has invested in … [Read more...] about Domestic, global focus needed to address public health issues

Nguyen Ngoc Dong and Nguyen Nhat received reprimands from Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on Wednesday while Nguyen Van Cong got an official warning. Nguyen Hong Truong has been retrospectively stripped of his position as Deputy Minister of Transport for the 2011-15 and 2016-17 terms.

The party committee of the Vietnam Steel Corporation (VNSTEEL) was irresponsible and lacked supervision in its leadership, which led to the firm committing serious violations in a project to expand production by the Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Joint Stock Company or TISCO (the TISCO II project). The violations caused "very serious consequences" and "seriously damaged the financial position and properties of the state," the Party Central Inspection Committee said Monday. The state currently owns nearly 94 percent of VNSTEEL, while VNSTEEL holds a 65 percent stake in TISCO. Besides Hai, now a member of the Politburo and Hanoi Party Secretary, other senior officials implicated in the violations include: former deputy heads of the Government Office Van Trong Ly and Nguyen Huu Vu; former deputy head of the sectorial economic department under the Government Office, Nguyen Van Tai; and head of the general department of geology and minerals under the Ministry of Natural Resources and … [Read more...] about Former deputy PM implicated in steel company project violations

The decisions to revoke Party memberships of Nguyen Bac Son and Truong Minh Tuan were taken at a meeting of the Party's Central Committee Friday, 11 days after the Central Inspection Committee, the Party's top watchdog, recommended the move. The two former information ministers had already been dismissed from their Party positions last year. Their explusion from the Party came seven months after both were arrested and placed under criminal investigation for violations related to management and use of public capital. They were accused of receiving bribes in the illegal acquisition of private pay TV firm Audio Visual Global JSC (AVG) by state-owned telecom giant Mobiphone in 2016. Government inspectors later concluded that the deal had violated public investment laws and caused an estimated loss of about VND7 trillion ($300 million) to the state budget. Son, then serving as the information minister, directly approved MobiFone's acquisition of AVG against regulations and asked … [Read more...] about Communist Party of Vietnam expels two former information ministers
