New Zealand’s Ambassador to Vietnam Tredene Dobson definitely looked the part during the presentation of her credentials to the Vietnamese President Nguyen Xuan Phuc on Wednesday. Popularly known as diplomatic credentials, a letter of credence is addressed from one head of state to another and presented personally by the ambassador to the receiving head of state to mark the start of an ambassadorship. According to the New Zealand Embassy in Hanoi, presenting credentials is a special occasion for any ambassador, and ambassador Dobson chose to do it her own way: wearing an ao dai , the traditional Vietnamese costume.

Football HELSINKI — Finland's fans will have eyes on star strikers Teemu Pukki and Joel Pohjanpalo as the Euro 2020 debutants face Belgium Tuesday (Việt Nam time), but one of the team's greatest assets will be quietly effective midfielder Glen Kamara. "I'm very close to saying that he is, these days, the best player on the team," Janne Oivio, sports journalist at Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat , said of the 25-year-old who this season helped undefeated Rangers to the Scottish Premiership title. But the softly-spoken Kamara was recently thrust into the limelight not for his footballing skills but for being racially abused by Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela. Born in Finland to Sierra-Leonean parents before moving to London aged 12, Kamara has impressed at the Euro, winning praise for his skill in tight spaces, his knack for winning duels, and his composure under pressure. "He's very relaxed all the time (on the pitch), but that doesn't mean he's not fighting," Finland … [Read more...] about Glen Kamara, Finland’s quiet threat who took stand against racism

Whenever I reach a new destination I seek out a favourite coffee shop as my headquarters or “HQ.” No idea how I picked up the habit – there is no logical reason for it. After all these years of roaming around I’ve just picked up a few odd habits I guess, and this is one of them. I need an HQ or I won’t feel settled in. Somewhere where people can find me in the daytime (but since I know nobody, there’s nobody to find me - yet). The criteria are rigid: First, the café must be frequented entirely by locals. Bluntly put, if I wanted to hang out with foreigners I’d have stayed in Western countries instead of coming to Southeast Asia. The gaggles of selfie-snapping tourists from the big cities aren’t my thing either. Secondly, I want a traditional local place, not some corporate, mass-produced experience, where customers queue up at a counter to be served with someone sporting a name tag who wishes them a nice day who definitely doesn’t care what kind of day I have. That’s what I was … [Read more...] about Make yourself at home in Vietnam

The DKP also affirmed its profound solidarity with Tran To Nga and AO victims in Vietnam. Earlier, the Bourdon & Associated law firm also vowed to accompany Nga … [Read more...] about German Communist Party backs Vietnamese AO victims
