The northern province of Quang Ninh is expediting a number of key projects to create breakthroughs in the investment climate and socio-economic development.
The construction of the Bach Dang bridge and its connecting road is an example of such projects.
Carried out under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) form and with a total investment of over 7.6 trillion VND (342 million USD), the bridge is one of the two main components of the Ha Long – Hai Phong highway project.
The bridge will be over three kilometres long and 25 metres wide with four lanes allowing vehicles to travel at a maximum speed of up to 100 kilometres per hour.
Once completed, it will contribute to completing a route connecting the key northern economic triangle, Hanoi – Hai Phong – Quang Ninh.
It is expected to reduce the distance from Quang Ninh to Hanoi from 180 kilometres to 130 kilometres, and shorten the travel time from 3.5 hours to 1.5 hours. Meanwhile, the distance from Ha Long to Hai Phong will be reduced to 25 kilometres from 75 kilometres.
Defining the bridge as an especially crucial project, the Ministry of Transports decided to establish a steering committee for the implementation of the project with active engagement from both localities.
Once completed, the Ha Long – Hai Phong highway will open up opportunities for investors and businesses to promote trade activities at border gates.
Quang Ninh has also been accelerating the Ha Long – Van Don expressway and upgrading the Ha Long – Mong Duong section of National Highway 18 with a total investment of nearly 14 trillion VND (630 million USD) since September this year.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Long said the projects help build and complete the infrastructure network of the province and shorten travel time from Hanoi to Ha Long city and the Van Don special economic zone.
They also help promote socio-economic affairs in Quang Ninh and the northern key economic region in general.
The construction of Van Don airport in Doan Ket commune, Van Don district worth nearly 7.5 trillion VND (337.5 million USD) is set to be commenced shortly. The project will have one runway and a parking area for at least four Boeing 777 and Airbus 321 planes. The terminal is designed for two million passengers and 10,000 tonnes of cargo per year.
Quang Ninh ranked fourth out of the seven provinces with outstanding economic management quality in the country in 2013, and ranked first in the field in the Red River delta last year, thanks to implementing strategic breakthroughs including administrative reform, human resources development and infrastructure construction.
The decisive factor has been local efforts to improve the investment environment. Additionally, the province has put forth a number of policies to facilitate investment and overcome business difficulties.
In 2015, the province has welcomed a number of major projects worth trillions of VND from both domestic and foreign businesses such as the Vincom Centre Ha Long and Vinpearl Ha Long invested by Vingroup, Ha Long ocean park by Sun Group, and Ha Long star tourism urban and entertainment complex Casino by real estate developer Nakheel from the United Arab Emirates.-VNA

In the context where AI dominates and produces vast volumes of content, the only sustainable path forward for journalism is to focus on high-quality content and core values. Journalism must redefine its mission - not to report the fastest, but to provide the most profound and trustworthy value.
Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.

The strategic product, managed and operated by the Vietnam News Agency Digital Media Centre (VNA Media), is an official channel for popularising the Party and State’s information and documents as well as delivering mainstream and trustworthy news to both domestic and international audiences through various kinds of multimedia formats.
Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people. During the resistance war against the colonialists, journalists took great personal risks to inspire patriotism and the will of rising up against foreign invaders.
The total investment exceeded 319 billion VND (12.2 million USD), including over 261 billion VND from the state budget and 57.5 billion VND mobilised from businesses, organisations, and individuals.

Throughout its 80-year history, the VNA has remained at the forefront of information dissemination. It has consistently delivered timely, accurate, and objective reports on both domestic and international events, serving the Party’s leadership, the State’s management, and the public’s demand for official news.
With strong support from local authorities, businesses, organisations, and residents, the province has successfully built or repaired 10,707 homes for disadvantaged households, including war veterans, families of martyrs, ethnic minority people, and low-income residents.
Throughout its resistance against colonialists and imperialists, Vietnam developed a revolutionary press that has served as a benchmark for just and legitimate causes worldwide.

A hub for sharing best practices, the event aims to forge solutions for financial sustainability, public media contracts, audience engagement, content innovation, and newsroom restructuring. It is also a moment for Vietnam’s media to accelerate its progress and figure out what the “revolutionary press” means in a new era.
From “Thanh nien”, Vietnam’s first revolutionary newspaper founded by Nguyen Ai Quoc (later President Ho Chi Minh) on June 21, 1925, the revolutionary press has remained devoted to its sacred missions -accompanying the nation, serving the Fatherland, and working for the people.
The official launch of Emirates’ Dubai–Da Nang route on June 2 has sparked a “tourism revolution” for Vietnam’s central coastal city. Da Nang is emerging as a top destination for high-end travelers, particularly from the lucrative Middle Eastern market.
Bernama CEO Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin said VNA has been a consistent and reliable partner in OANA, contributing actively to the regional media landscape through content sharing, coordination, and policy discussions. Their coverage of ASEAN and Indochina issues adds valuable perspectives. Bernama appreciates the collaboration with VNA.
