On the evening of October 27, the Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control issued a report on the work of responding to storm Molave's impact.

Sound Foreign Policy of the Party and State as the Cornerstone of Nation Rise

Vietnam's foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification, and multilateralization of international relations remains a consistent stance of the Party and State.
