National and Domestic Affairs
1. Chiến dịch Quang Trung: Rebuilding Homes for Flood Victims
- Objective: To rapidly rebuild and repair homes for residents in flood-affected areas, ensuring they have safe and sturdy housing before the Lunar New Year.
- Execution: The campaign, named "Chiến dịch Quang Trung," involves the swift mobilization of military forces and local authorities. Soldiers are working tirelessly, "running against time" to complete construction and repairs.
- Specifics: The goal is to complete new house constructions by May 31, 2026, to allow residents to celebrate Tet safely and warmly.
- Example (Mr. Huong's house): Located near the Song Ba Ha hydropower plant, Mr. Huong's house was severely damaged by unprecedented flood levels. Despite living in the area for decades and experiencing floods annually, this year's flood was the highest. His main house collapsed, leaving only the attic. The military unit, Sư đoàn Phòng không 375, had to clear new paths to transport materials to rebuild his house within approximately one month.
- Example (Son Hoa Commune): Over 200 officers and soldiers from Sư đoàn Phòng không 375 are constructing six flood-resistant houses for heavily impacted families in Son Hoa Commune. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Dong's house, situated by the Song Ba Ha river, was swept away. He managed to escape by climbing a tree and then rescued four neighbors by breaking into their submerged homes. The design for houses near the river includes reinforced foundations and a mezzanine level for flood evacuation.
- Logistics: The railway sector is supporting the campaign by transporting 1 million bricks from North to Central Vietnam. 400,000 bricks have already been transported from Bim Son station (Thanh Hoa) to Hoa Da station (Dak Lak), with the remaining 600,000 to follow. This initiative aims to expedite the rebuilding process.
- Broader Support: Beyond military efforts, various organizations nationwide are contributing. The Vietnam Television Youth Union, in coordination with the Military Youth Department and the General Department of Politics of the Ministry of National Defense, launched the third phase of the "Song Sau Lu" (Living After Floods) project. This phase will focus on supporting residents in Khanh Hoa, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Lam Dong provinces, with a committed fund of over 1.1 billion VND for livestock and seed support to help restore livelihoods.
- Key Statement: "Không để ai bị bỏ lại phía sau, không để ai phải ở trong những ngôi nhà xuống cấp hư hỏng" (No one will be left behind, no one will have to live in dilapidated houses).
2. Hanoi: Addressing Traffic Congestion and Environmental Pollution
- Meeting with Constituents: General Secretary To Lam met with constituents from various wards in Hanoi after the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly.
- Key Issues Raised by Constituents: Free medical services, reducing hospital overcrowding, and resolving issues with stalled projects to prevent resource wastage.
- General Secretary To Lam's Response: He addressed specific challenges facing Hanoi, including the renovation of old apartment buildings, traffic congestion, and environmental pollution control.
- Traffic Congestion: Described as a significant impediment to development, with specific mention of "bottleneck" intersections and road segments.
- Environmental Pollution:
- Air Quality Monitoring: Acknowledged that air pollution control efforts have been slow. A critical issue highlighted was corruption and inaccuracies in air quality testing stations.
- Data Manipulation: Police are investigating cases where individuals colluded with factories and testing stations to provide false air quality data. This was done to prevent factories from being relocated. The sensors used were deemed inadequate.
- Quote: "Cái ủng tắc cái giao thông này là một cái điểm chưa nói là như hôm nãy tôi nói là đấy mất cái lợi thế phát triển đấy chưa nói là những cái đường mà nghẽn ở các cái gọi là các cái nút cổ trai những cái da những cái đường các cái cửa ôm phải tập trung giải quyết cái vấn đề thế rồi là bây giờ cái chống hồi nhiệm môi trường mình làm rất chậm giải quyết được cái chuyện đó nó triệt để đấy là điểm duy nhất Hà Nội làm đấy còn ô nhiễm về không khí vừa rồi đây rất đau lòng. Tất cả những cái trạm thử nghiệm ô phí đây tiêu cực, tham nhũng, những cái số liệu không chính xác nó đánh lừa chúng táo phủ chi là vừa rồi công an là phải làm vụ án xử lý các cái đối tượng nó thông đồng với những các cái nhà máy những cái trạm lót đặt nó cho những cái chỉ số báo không chính xác." (This traffic congestion is a point, as I said earlier, it loses development advantages, not to mention the roads that are blocked at what are called bottleneck intersections, the roads, the exits that need to be focused on solving the problem. Then there's the environmental pollution control, we are doing very slowly to solve that thoroughly. That's the only point Hanoi is doing. As for air pollution, it was very heartbreaking recently. All these air quality testing stations have negativity, corruption, inaccurate data that deceives us. The police had to handle a case to deal with the subjects who colluded with factories and testing stations to provide inaccurate reporting indices. Otherwise, the factories would have to be relocated. Now they have installed such sensors that do not meet the requirements.)
- Other Issues Addressed: Strengthening digital infrastructure, climate change response, counterfeit goods, and educational reform towards practical approaches and sustainable development.
3. National Public Security Conference
- Prime Minister's Address: Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh praised the People's Public Security force for their efforts and achievements in 2025.

- Statistics: Nearly 1,000 hectares of production land along the Vu and Thu Bon rivers have been buried or eroded, with sand depths exceeding 1 meter in some areas.
- Challenge: The sheer volume of sand makes self-remediation impossible for residents. Without timely support, these communities will be unable to produce in future seasons.
- Wider Damage: Tens of thousands of households in the lower reaches of Da Nang's two largest rivers have suffered property and land damage.
6. Food Poisoning Incidents
- Quang Ngai: Over 70 people were hospitalized with suspected food poisoning after consuming bánh mì from the same chain of stores in Cam Thanh and Nghia Lo communes.

- Action: Remaining food samples were sealed, and related bánh mì stalls were temporarily closed pending investigation.
- Lam Dong: Over 40 people in Phan Thiet commune were hospitalized with symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, and fever, also suspected to be food poisoning after eating bánh mì from the same shop.
7. Traffic Fine Scam Warning
- Modus Operandi: Residents are receiving text messages claiming to be traffic fine notifications, with links to pay the fines. Clicking these links leads to requests to install suspicious apps or provide personal information, OTP codes, and phone access.
- Victims: Some individuals have lost hundreds of millions of dong after falling for these scams.
- Official Statement: Hanoi Police have repeatedly confirmed that there is no method of notifying traffic fines via text message or phone.
