VIETNAM'S PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY (II) - VIET TRI PAPER MILL Viet Tri is a 25,000 tons a year paper mill producing kraftliner and coated wrapping paper in Phu Tho province, in the north of Vietnam. The mill imports its raw material (Tran Doan An 2001). In September 2000, several Korean banks granted loans to help finance a US$26 million industrial paper expansion at Viet Tri. Daewoo, which provided the paper machine, helped Vinapimex to negotiate and guarantee the loans (pponline.com 29 September 2000). In December 2001, Vinapimex had almost completed the installation of a new 25,000 tons a year packaging paper machine at its Viet Tri mill (paperloop.com 17 December 2001). - TAN MAI PAPER COMPANY Tan Mai Paper Company in Dong Nai province, is a state-owned business belonging to Vinapimex. The mill's paper capacity has expanded from 10,000 tons a year in 1990, to 48,000 tons a year in 2000. Newsprint production accounts for 50 to 60 per cent of the company's capacity. Equipment suppliers to the mill include ABB, Thermo Black Clawson, Allimand, Valmet, Ahlstrom and Sund Defibrator (Tan Mai www 1). In 1995, Trang Hoai Nghia, vice manager of production at Tan Mai, said that there was a problem getting spare parts for machinery as much of it was installed as part of aid projects from overseas (US, Sweden, France).

  • Vietnam 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    VIETNAM 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution states that all individuals have the right to freedom of belief and religion. The law provides for significant government control over religious practices and includes vague provisions that permit restrictions on religious freedom in the stated interest of national security and social unity. The Law on Belief and Religion, which came into effect in January 2018, maintains a multistage registration and recognition process for religious groups. Religious leaders, particularly those representing groups without official recognition or certificates of registration, reported various forms of government harassment – including physical assaults, arrests, prosecutions, monitoring, travel restrictions, and property seizure or destruction – and denials or no response to requests for registration and/or other permissions. In August Rah Lan Hip was sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted of “undermining the unity policy” when he encouraged ethnic minority Degar Protestants to resist government pressure to renounce their faith. Reports of harassment of religious adherents by authorities continued in the Central Highlands, specifically members of the Evangelical Church of Christ, and in the Northwest Highlands of H’mong Christians and Roman Catholics, as well as for Catholic and Protestant groups in Nghe An and Tuyen Quang Provinces. Religious group adherents reported local or provincial authorities committed most harassment incidents. Members of recognized groups or those with certificates of registration were generally able to practice their beliefs with less government interference, although some recognized groups, including the Evangelical Church of Vietnam (North) (ECVN), reported more difficulty gathering in certain provinces, including Quang Binh, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Ha Giang, and Hoa Binh Provinces.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Speed Reduction Pilot Program Concludes with Positive Results and Lasting Community Impact GIA LAI PROVIN
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Speed reduction pilot program concludes with positive results and lasting community impact GIA LAI PROVINCE, Vietnam - 27 June 2020 The two-year Slow Zones, Safe Zones speed reduction program in Gia Lai Province, Vietnam, which is ​ ​ supported by Fondation Botnar, the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), Nissan Motor Corporation, Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), and Kova Paint Company, officially concludes its first ​ ​ phase. In partnership with local government in Gia Lai Province, AIP Foundation held a closing ceremony to share the program’s first phase results. Stakeholders included representatives from the National Traffic Safety Committee, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Education and Training, representatives of Gia Lai provincial government, and school administrators and parents from Pleiku City. The ceremony began with a photo exhibition of the recent “Preserve Your Children’s Happiest Moments” photo contest, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the importance of child safety on the road that reached more than 9 million people and received almost 2,000 photo submissions. Following the exhibition, AIP Foundation shared noteworthy speed reduction results from the two-year pilot program. Slow Zones, Safe Zones constructed tailored, comprehensive school zone safety ​ ​ modifications including speed bumps, road markings, speed reduction signs, and sidewalks, in response to dangers on Pleiku roads. At target schools, traffic volume is extremely high. Additionally, some vehicles were driving as fast as 70-80 km/h, well over the international recommended speed for school zones, which is 30 km/h. The safety modifications were validated by scientific assessments like the Star Rating for Schools (SR4S) App, which determined that both pilot schools successfully increased their safety rating to 5 stars.

The list is by no means exclusive. Many of the international medical facilities have foreign English-speaking doctors on staff. The U.S. Consulate General bears no responsibility for the quality of care or service at any of these facilities. Please be aware that medical care in Vietnam, even in Ho Chi Minh City, is considerably below U.S. standards. Sometimes, even routine injuries or conditions may require medical evacuation to a regional medical center with higher standards. The telephone country code for Vietnam is 84. Dưới đây là danh sách một số phòng khám, bệnh viện Việt Nam và quốc tế tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh và các tỉnh thành. Danh sách này không liệt kê đầy đủ tất cả các cơ sở. Nhiều cơ sở y khoa quốc tế có bác sĩ người nước ngoài nói tiếng Anh. Tổng Lãnh sự Hoa Kỳ không chịu trách nhiệm về chất lượng chăm sóc y tế hay chất lượng dịch vụ tại bất kỳ cơ sở nào trong danh sách này. Xin lưu ý điều kiện chăm sóc y tế ở Việt Nam, ngay cả tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, thấp hơn các tiêu chuẩn của Hoa Kỳ khá nhiều. Đôi khi, ngay cả những chấn thương hay tình trạng sức khỏe thường gặp vẫn phải được chuyển đến một trung tâm y tế trong khu vực với các tiêu chuẩn cao hơn.

  • Vietnam 2017 Religious Freedom Report
    VIETNAM 2017 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution states that all people have freedom of belief and religion. Current law, however, provides for significant government control over religious practices and includes vague provisions that permit restrictions on religious freedom in the stated interest of national security and social unity. The 2016 Law on Belief and Religion, scheduled to come into effect in January 2018, maintains these restrictions. The new law maintains a multistage registration and recognition process for religious groups; however, it shortens the time for recognition at the national or provincial level from 23 to five years. It also specifies the right of recognized religious organizations to have legal personality. There were two reports of deaths of members of religious groups in police custody; authorities said the deaths were suicides, but families said involved police use of force. Members of recognized groups or those with certificates of registration were reportedly able to practice their beliefs with less interference, although some recognized groups reported more difficulty gathering together. Religious leaders, particularly those representing groups without recognition or certificates of registration, reported various forms of government harassment, including physical assaults, arrests, prosecutions, monitoring, travel restrictions, property seizure or destruction, and denials of registration and/or other permissions. There were reports of severe harassment in the Central
