Kampuchea PM asks Vietnam to ‘watch out’ for Rainsy if he attempts entry

 Khmer Times – June 8, 2023 – Soth Koemsoeun

Prime Minister Hun Sen asked the Vietnamese government to watch out for former opposition leader Sam Rainsy entering Vietnam using his French passport.

“I would like to emphasise to the Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Nguyen Huy Tang, to send a message to the Vietnamese government to be wary of a person (Rainsy) who uses a French passport to enter Vietnam as a tourist,” Mr Hun Sen said.

“I received information from one of my spies that (Rainsy) is trying to enter Cambodia through neighbouring countries to cause problems for me,” he said.

The 50-year Transformation of Australia-Vietnam Relations

By Carlyle A. Thayer , Emeritus Professor, The University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra

When Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Vietnam last weekend, he took an important symbolic step in a long history of consolidating bilateral relations. Carlyle A. Thayer reviews a remarkable transformation that in five decades turned Vietnam from enemy to valued friend and partner.

In February 1973, the Whitlam Labor Government extended diplomatic recognition to the communist Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV, North Vietnam), a recent adversary in the Vietnam War. Fifty years later, Australia and the unified Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) are poised to become comprehensive strategic partners, a status Vietnam has only accorded to four countries – Russia, India, China, and South Korea. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese recently declared that Vietnam will become one of Australia’s top-tier partners.

Addressing the ceremony at Trang Bom station, China’s consul general in Ho Chi Minh City Wei Huaxiang said that the launch of cargo trains connecting the two localities is expected to bring about trade and investment opportunities between Viet Nam and China.

It is expected that by 2025 when Long Thanh international airport, the largest of its kind in Viet Nam, is scheduled to be put into operation, Dong Nai will have all five modes of transportation by road, air, rail, inland waterway and international maritime, helping to promote strong economic development in the locality.

Data from the General Department of Customs showed in 2022, China was Viet Nam’s largest trading partner with a total two-way trade turnover of US$175.57 billion. Of the figure, Viet Nam’s exports and imports from China hit US$57.7 billion and US$117.87 billion, respectively.

In the first two months of 2023, China was the biggest exporter of goods to Viet Nam with US$14.6 billion.

Hợp tác cấp vùng về thương mại điện năng

IUCN – 06 Th12, 2022

Trong lúc việc phát triển và mở rộng năng lượng mặt trời và gió sẽ là yếu tố quan trọng giúp Việt Nam giảm tiêu thụ than và đáp ứng yêu cầu trong lộ trình thực hiện các cam kết tại COP26, thì việc tăng cường nhập khẩu điện từ các nước láng giềng là một giải pháp bổ sung. Trong Kế hoạch Phát triển Điện lực 8 của Việt Nam (PDP 8) ban hành tháng 4 năm 2022 đã đưa ra dự đoán lượng điện nhập khẩu sẽ tăng từ 572 MW vào năm 2020 lên khoảng 4.000 MW vào năm 2025.

Tương lai thì nguồn điện nhập khẩu vào Việt Nam phần lớn sẽ đến từ CHDCND Lào và có thể từ Campuchia. Tuy nhiên, cách thức Việt Nam tham gia thương mại điện năng với các nước láng giềng này sẽ có ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến việc phát triển các dự án phát điện ở các quốc gia này. Phần lớn nguồn điện năng mà Việt Nam nhập khẩu từ CHDCND Lào đến từ các đập thủy điện và các đập này có thể có tác động tiêu cực đáng kể cho Việt Nam.

HANOI, Dec 7 (Reuters) – Vietnam is eyeing a major defence shift as it seeks to reduce its reliance on Russian arms and launch a push to export locally made weapons, officials and analysts said, with possible buyers in Africa, Asia – and potentially even Moscow.

The Southeast Asian nation is one of the world’s 20 biggest buyers of weapons amid on-and-off tensions with China, with an annual budget for arms imports estimated at about $1 billion and set to grow, according to GlobalData, a provider of military procurement intelligence.

Most of that money has historically gone to Russia, which was for decades Vietnam’s main supplier of weapons and defence systems. That made Vietnam one of the top buyers of Russian arms, according to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which tracks global military expenditures.

LIEN HOANG, Nikkei staff writerOctober 28, 2022 16:08 JST

HO CHI MINH CITY — Reputational risks are piling up for a Vietnamese lumber industry already beset by a falloff in demand from the heights of the pandemic.

One of the world’s biggest wood and furniture exporters, Vietnam enjoyed a surge in orders when overseas buyers spent COVID lockdowns renovating their home offices and kitchens.

But the Southeast Asian country faces accusations of importing Chinese goods for re-export with “Made in Vietnam” labels since the onset of the China-U.S. tariff war in 2018. Now an actual war in Ukraine is stoking concern that sanctioned products from Russia may be routed through Vietnam, which maintains a neutral stance on the conflict between Kyiv and Moscow, as it does with Beijing and Washington. A third concern, about logging of fuel wood, has added to the pressure.

HANOI—The Socialist Republic of Vietnam will not be coerced into joining the United States-led effort aimed at isolating China and provoking conflict as part of its Cold War 2.0 foreign policy.

That’s a major message expected to come out of the upcoming visit to China by Nguyen Phu Trong, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Trong will travel to China to pay an official visit to the newly re-elected Communist Party of China leader Xi Jinping. Trong will be one of the first world leaders to visit China since the closing the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, earlier this month.
