Digital transformation has become a core method for national governance and administration.At the same time, the postal sector maintained strong growth, handling 4.2 billion items, up 27 per cent&nbsp;year-on-year, with revenue reaching VNĐ87 trillion, a 19 per cent&nbsp;increase.In telecommunications, 5G coverage surpassed 90 per cent&nbsp;of the population, while fixed broadband speeds reached 271.95 Mbps, placing Việt Nam among the world’s top 10. The country ranked second in ASEAN with more than 680,000 domain names and approximately 26.45 million digital signature certificates issued, including 12.56 million issued in 2025 alone or equivalent to the total of the previous decade.Next year, the ministry&nbsp;will implement policies to attract and retain talented human resources, and assign major and challenging tasks, particularly national-level science and technology projects, to qualified young scientists and engineers, deputy minister Phương said.Top priority will also be given to&nbsp;attracting Vietnamese experts abroad and international specialists to participate in key programmes and projects through flexible mechanisms aligned with international practices,&nbsp;he added.&nbsp;— VNS

This contributes to improved regulatory effectiveness, food safety assurance, and stronger credibility for Vietnamese agricultural products.Speaking at the ceremony, Minister of Agriculture and Environment Trần Đức Thắng stressed that amidst increasingly intense competition, the value of agricultural products lies not only in output volume but also in quality, transparency, and traceability.The launch is therefore a necessary step to help enterprises, cooperatives, and farmers access digital technology more conveniently and at lower cost, thereby improving market connectivity, expanding exports, and meeting the increasingly strict requirements of high-end markets.According to Minister Thắng, the system consists of three main components: a traceability interface for consumers, farmers, and enterprises involved in production and supply; a system for solution providers to update agricultural origin data; and a platform for state management agencies to supervise and trace products.Traceability is not merely a technological solution but also a modern management tool that helps prevent trade fraud, counterfeit and substandard goods, while promoting sustainable and responsible agricultural production and increasing product value. Its establishment and operation also contribute to gradually building a data-driven agricultural production culture based on innovation and standardisation, in line with Resolution 57-NQ/TW on science, technology development, innovation, and national digital transformation.In the overall picture of agricultural exports in 2025, fruits and vegetables continued to be a standout growth segment, reflecting strong production potential, improving market adaptability and significant room for export expansion.According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, export turnover for the sector in 2025 is estimated at about US$ 8.59 billion, up nearly 20 per cent compared with 2024. However, alongside opportunities, the sector is also facing new technical barriers, particularly stricter requirements on production unit codes, traceability, residue control, and food safety.According to the organising committee, the durian traceability pilot will be implemented in an integrated manner, including management and operation of the data transmission hub and query portal; establishment of technical support focal points and a hotline; and coordination with relevant units of the Ministry of Public Security to integrate and embed data into electronic authentication labels using technologies such as QR codes, NFC and RFID. This aims to ensure consistency and accuracy between label information and traceability data.The pilot, which will run from January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026, aims to build a traceability database through the connection and integration of sector-specific data, with participating enterprises’ data digitally signed in accordance with regulations. In the initial stage, five enterprises across the production and supply chain will be mobilised to participate in testing, along with the issuance and attachment of electronic authentication labels to eligible durian consignments. — VNS

Taxpayers are also entitled to mandatory insurance deductions and contributions to charity and humanitarian funds.With compulsory insurance contributions currently equivalent to 10.5 per cent of assessable income, a single individual earning around VNĐ17 million per month will not pay PIT next year, saving approximately VNĐ210,000 per month compared to current rules. Each dependent will qualify for an additional deduction of VNĐ6.2 million per month, instead of VNĐ4.4 million, meaning a taxpayer with one dependent and an income of VNĐ24 million will also be exempt from PIT.Higher earners will likewise benefit as Việt Nam’s tax structure shifts from seven to five progressive brackets with redesigned taxable thresholds. For example, a taxpayer earning VNĐ30 million per month with one dependent will only fall into the 5 per cent bracket instead of the current 15 per cent, reducing their monthly tax burden from VNĐ968,000 to VNĐ295,000. Someone earning VNĐ50 million per month with one dependent will now pay around VNĐ1.84 million instead of VNĐ4.3 million, while a person earning VNĐ100 million per month will see their PIT fall by more than VNĐ5.5 million to around VNĐ12.5 million.Experts also highlight a major policy innovation. For the first time, taxpayers will be permitted to deduct eligible healthcare and education expenses for themselves and their dependents, once the Government issues detailed guidance.They argue this represents an important human-centred reform, easing essential cost burdens while promoting social investment in health and education. Several legal and financial experts suggest allowing full deduction of legitimate medical expenses for serious illnesses, alongside reasonable caps for general healthcare and education spending to ensure fairness and administrative feasibility.At the same time, many hope the Government will modernise policies relating to dependents. Currently, an individual is only recognised as a dependent if their income does not exceed VNĐ1 million per month - a level widely viewed as outdated and unrealistic given rising living costs and increasing minimum wages. Legal experts recommend increasing this threshold to align with the dependent deduction of VNĐ6.2 million per month from next year, or at least allowing partial deductions proportional to actual support needs. — VNS

Under the amended Law on Personnal Income Tax, the personal deduction will rise to VNĐ15.5 million (US$590) per month from VNĐ11 million at present. Taxpayers are also entitled to mandatory insurance deductions and contributions to charity and humanitarian funds.

The construction of Hangars No. 3 and No. 4 has been designed, managed, and supervised by international firms Mace (the UK) and Apave (France).Completed on schedule in just four months, the project features a large-span steel space-frame structure that meets global aviation technical standards. Once operational, the hangar complex will be capable of accommodating and maintaining up to six narrow-body and two wide-body aircraft simultaneously, or up to ten narrow-body aircraft.The project is expected to play an important role in enhancing domestic technical capacity, reducing overseas maintenance costs, improving fleet operational efficiency, and generating additional jobs and economic value for Việt Nam’s southern region.Alongside infrastructure development, Vietjet operated its inaugural flight to Long Thành International Airport.
