Despite Ho Chi Minh City’s Steering Committee for Covid-19 Prevention and Control ordering bars, karaoke parlors and discotheques to halt operations starting April 30, many have clearly ignored the rules, according to a VCT News report on May 2, with many venues on Pham Van Dong Street (Go Vap District) disregarding the ruling.

Vietnam's foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, and multilateralization of international relations remains a consistent stance of the Party and State. Amid the current trend of opening up and international integration, the Party and State have cleverly led and managed foreign affairs activities with flexibility and promptness, aligning with both domestic and international contexts. Recent successful foreign affairs events have significantly consolidated and elevated Vietnam's position and prestige on the international political stage. However, hostile forces propagate false arguments to distort the Party and State's viewpoints on foreign affairs.
