NINH THUẬN — With Việt Nam's power consumption set to soar in the coming years, nuclear power offers a promising avenue to diversify the energy mix, bolster energy security and accelerate the shift towards clean energy, stated Party General Secretary Tô Lâm.

This remark was made on Thursday during his visit to the south-central province of Ninh Thuận, where Việt Nam's first nuclear project is set. He was accompanied by a delegation of high-ranking officials, including National Assembly Deputy Chairman Nguyễn Đức Hải and Deputy Prime Minister Hồ Đức Phớc.

The halted Ninh Thuận's Nuclear Power Project was a key topic of discussion. The project was first approved by the National Assembly in 2009, involving plans to construct two nuclear plants -- Ninh Thuận 1 and Ninh Thuận 2 -- which were designed to occupy approximately 1,600ha of land and required the relocation of approximately 4,000 residents.

However, the project was suspended in 2016 due to economic concerns and shifting national priorities. This decision disrupted local development plans and left many affected communities in limbo.

Infrastructure projects were put on hold, public facilities in the affected areas deteriorated, and displaced families waited years for clarity on resettlement plans.

With the Party and State's decision to revive the project, hopes are high that it will not only resolve these long-standing issues but also bring significant benefits to the region and the country.

During his visit, the General Secretary emphasised the project’s importance for Việt Nam’s energy security and green transition, highlighting global advancements in nuclear technology, which make modern plants safer and more efficient, and the growing global reliance on nuclear energy to meet increasing electricity demand.

“Although history has recorded some incidents at nuclear plants, the probability of such events is exceedingly low," he said.

"Modern nuclear technology has advanced through several generations, making it far superior and safer than older systems.”

He also stressed the broader benefits of the project, including opportunities to train a skilled workforce, enhance the country’s technological capacity and participate in global nuclear supply chains.

He called on Ninh Thuận's citizens to support the project by allocating land and resources for its development, and pledged that the benefits would be shared equitably.

“The Government will ensure the best nuclear technologies, top consulting partners and the most qualified management teams are selected to operate this national energy project safely and effectively," he added.

During the working session, the local authorities shared a glowing report on the province's progress over the past five years.

The province’s economy grew 1.7 times compared to the start of the term, with an average annual GRDP growth rate of approximately 9 per cent, ranking among the fastest in Việt Nam.

Post-pandemic tourism rebounded rapidly, with visitor numbers surging to 3.4 million by the end of 2024, almost triple the 2020 figure. Average income per capita quadrupled, and the poverty rate fell from 9.34 per cent to just 2.69 per cent.

Lâm commended the province for its resilience and efficient use of resources, transforming what was once Việt Nam’s driest province into a growing hub for renewable energy, tourism and high-tech agriculture.

He urged authorities to continue leveraging the province's strengths to foster growth. Several areas of potential were highlighted, including the marine economy, renewable energy and chemicals.

The General Secretary also stressed the importance of good governance and inclusivity in development, encouraging authorities to build a strong political system that prioritises transparency and accountability.

“Fighting corruption and upholding ethical standards are crucial. We must also foster creativity and bold decision-making among leaders who dare to think and act for the greater good,” he noted.

Education, healthcare and infrastructure also featured prominently in his recommendations. He called for investments to improve schools, attract talent and develop infrastructure.

“Ninh Thuận must not only be a place where people want to work, but also a place where they want to live and raise their families,” he added.

In his concluding remarks, Lâm expressed confidence in Ninh Thuận’s ability to achieve breakthroughs. He called on the province to align its efforts with Việt Nam’s broader goals, particularly the vision of a 'New Era of National Transformation'.

“The opportunities are here, the conditions are right, and the path forward is clear. All that remains is for us to act – with urgency, determination and unity,” he said.

Earlier in the day, the delegation visited the Martyrs’ Cemetery in the province to honour those who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence. — VNS

Hãng Yonhap đưa tin, robot đang nhấc các hộp ớt lên pallet thì nhận nhầm người đàn ông trên. Cánh tay robot đẩy người đàn ông vào băng chuyền, nghiền nát mặt và ngực anh ta. Người này sau đó đã qua đời trong bệnh viện. 

Một quan chức của Khu liên hợp xuất khẩu nông sản Dongseong, là chủ sở hữu nhà máy, đã kêu gọi thiết lập hệ thống chính xác và an toàn sau khi tai nạn xảy ra. 

Vụ việc trên là tai nạn nghiêm trọng thứ hai liên quan tới robot công nghiệp ở Hàn Quốc chỉ trong vài tháng. Hồi tháng 3, một nam giới trong độ tuổi 50 đã bị thương nặng sau khi bị robot làm cho mắc kẹt tại một nhà máy sản xuất ô tô. 

Năm 2015, một công nhân 22 tuổi tại nhà máy Volkswagen của Đức bị một robot giết chết. Trong nhiều thập niên qua, robot công nghiệp đã được dùng để thực hiện các công việc thường ngày từ lắp ráp đến phân loại hàng hóa. Chức năng chính của nó là xử lý các nhiệm vụ lặp đi lặp lại và đôi khi có khả năng gây nguy hiểm.

KUNMING – Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính reaffirmed Việt Nam's commitment to proactively and creatively participating in the development of the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS), striving to build a strong ACMECS for a united, diverse and uniformly developed Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

He suggested six proposals to drive ACMECS forward in the future.

The PM was speaking at the 10th ACMECS Summit, themed "Towards Seamless Connectivity for Mekong Sub-regional Integration," held on Thursday in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China.

At the invitation of his Lao counterpart Sonexay Siphandone, the Chair of the Summit, Prime Minister Chính led a high-level delegation to the event.

During the summit, leaders from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Việt Nam emphasised ACMECS’s vital role in narrowing development gaps, promoting connectivity within the ASEAN, and advancing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The leaders welcomed the significant progress made in implementing the ACMECS Master Plan for 2019-2023, particularly in trade and investment cooperation, tourism, support for small and medium-sized enterprises and human resource development.

They also commended positive outcomes in ACMECS’s collaboration with development partners, the establishment of the ACMECS Development Fund, and the interim secretariat.

The leaders acknowledged that to effectively address unpredictable challenges and seize new opportunities, they must pursue balanced, inclusive and sustainable development while enhancing cooperation with other Mekong sub-regional mechanisms. Their vision is to build an ACMECS Community characterised by “Solidarity, Strength and Sustainability”.

ACMECS will continue to promote collaboration in transport connectivity, the development of digital infrastructure and trade facilitation to transform the Mekong sub-region into a regional logistics hub.

Additionally, high priority will be placed on developing high-quality human resources, digital transformation and green transition.

This summit highlighted the importance of Mekong water resource cooperation. The five nations agreed to strengthen transboundary water management, particularly through coordination with the Mekong River Commission, sharing hydrological data and establishing an early disaster warning system.

The summit concluded with the adoption of a concept document on water resource management in the Mekong sub-region, aimed at enhancing strategic coordination among member countries in addressing both short-term and long-term challenges.

At the summit, PM Chính emphasised the central role of ACMECS in Mekong sub-regional cooperation as an integral component of the ASEAN Community, serving as a gateway connecting ASEAN with Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and as a bridge between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

He stated that the world is entering an era of innovation. This is the moment for ACMECS to embrace a new mission of building a unified, strong and sustainable Mekong community.

ACMECS cooperation in the coming period requires a shared aspiration, vision, determination, voice and joint action. In this spirit, PM Chính proposed six key areas for breakthrough cooperation in the next phase:

Firstly, ACMECS cooperation needs an action-oriented mindset to ensure seamless integration from strategy formulation to practical implementation. Cooperation plans and programmes should be substantive, focused, highly feasible and match resource mobilisation capabilities.

PM Chính announced that Việt Nam would contribute US$10 million to the ACMECS Development Fund.

Secondly, ACMECS cooperation must balance tradition and modernity. ACMECS should support member countries in revitalising traditional growth drivers while advancing new growth engines to seize emerging opportunities and integrate deeper into regional and global value chains.

Priority should be given to comprehensive and extensive digital transformation by mobilising investment in digital infrastructure and services; supporting start-ups and innovation; and applying digital technology in industries such as manufacturing, information and communication, finance, banking, digital customs and smart border management.

Thirdly, ACMECS cooperation ensures sustainable growth with a focus on green transition. ACMECS’s top priority should be attracting green finance to develop green industries, sustainable agriculture and low-emission transport and logistics.

Additionally, enhancing cooperation among the five countries for sustainable management and use of the Mekong River’s water resources is crucial. This includes sharing ideas to boost cooperation between ACMECS and development partners for technology transfer and capacity building in sustainable transboundary water resource management, particularly real-time hydrological data sharing.

Fourthly, connection among nations should be enhanced. Facilitating the flow of goods, services and the movement of people among the five countries is essential. This includes simplifying procedures and focusing on developing transportation infrastructure to enhance intra-regional and inter-regional connectivity, particularly railways and highways.

PM Chính urged the five countries to strengthen information sharing and coordination in developing economic plans and policies to maximise mutual benefits and spread advantages across the region.

Fifthly, ACMECS must bridge government with people and businesses. PM Chính proposed that ACMECS assign its ministers, senior officials and interim Secretariat to develop a comprehensive plan for the next phase, prioritising inclusivity with projects focused on people, especially in remote areas, and supporting businesses to participate in regional and global supply chains.

Finally, ACMECS cooperation must link development with stability and security. PM Chính suggested that ACMECS enhance cooperation to combat transnational crimes, particularly drug trafficking and cybercrime, and prevent the use of one country’s territory for actions against another.

The Prime Minister’s insights and proposals were highly regarded by the summit and reflected in its official documents.

After the summit, the leaders adopted the Vientiane Declaration and witnessed the transfer of the ACMECS Chairmanship from Laos to Myanmar. – VNS
