After receiving detailed reports from local authorities, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, on behalf of the Party and the State, commended the collective spirit, resilience, and timely response of the Gia Lai provincial government and its people in dealing with the devastating aftermath of Typhoon No. 13.

He emphasized that protecting people’s lives and safety remains the top priority, while urging all levels of government to move swiftly to restore housing, infrastructure, and livelihoods for affected communities.

The Prime Minister directed ministries, departments, and local governments to strictly comply with Directive No. 214/CĐ-TTg, dated November 12, 2025, focusing on accurate damage assessment, rapid relief, and the immediate recovery of typhoon-stricken areas in the central region.
He instructed all forces to reach out directly to affected families — especially those whose homes were destroyed, swept away, or severely damaged — to provide temporary shelter, food, and essential supplies. “No one should be left hungry, cold, or without a roof over their head,” he stressed.

Local authorities were told to compile precise lists of heavily damaged households to ensure timely financial support under state policy. At the same time, additional assistance from the Vietnam Fatherland Front, businesses, philanthropists, and community organizations should be mobilized to help residents rebuild their homes.
For households that can no longer live safely in their original locations, local governments must arrange resettlement land in secure areas and promptly develop resettlement zones for long-term stability.

Particularly, the government has allocated 60 billion VND (about USD 2.4 million) for De Gi commune, aimed at rebuilding and repairing homes for families who lost everything in the storm. The Prime Minister emphasized that this funding must be used efficiently and transparently, ensuring it directly benefits affected residents. He also called on local authorities to plan and manage coastal land not only for safe resettlement but also for economic development, tourism, and job creation, turning hardship into new opportunities for sustainable growth.

In parallel, relevant ministries and agencies are tasked with providing seeds, livestock, fertilizers, and agricultural materials to help farmers restart production quickly. Restoration of essential infrastructure — including schools, medical centers, hospitals, roads, electricity, water, and telecommunications — must be completed as soon as possible so that daily life can return to normal, ideally by November 15, 2025.

The Prime Minister also urged the State Bank of Vietnam and the Ministry of Finance to introduce preferential credit packages, debt deferrals, and tax relief measures for businesses and households affected by the storm. He called for maximum mobilization of resources — from the government, military, police, youth unions, and community volunteers — to accelerate recovery efforts and revive economic activity.

According to preliminary data, Typhoon No. 13 caused 2 deaths and 8 injuries, with estimated total damages exceeding 5,900 billion VND. More than 71,000 houses were destroyed, flooded, or damaged, including over 1,000 homes completely ruined. Thousands of hectares of rice fields, vegetables, long-term crops, and livestock farms were lost; 386 fishing boats were damaged, and many power lines, roads, and irrigation systems were destroyed.

In the immediate aftermath, the province deployed over 65,000 personnel, 1,000 vehicles, and 40 rescue boats to carry out emergency relief operations under the “Four On-the-Spot” disaster response strategy (forces, command, logistics, and materials). Over 93,000 households (341,000 people) from high-risk areas were evacuated to safety. Temporary barricades, warning signs, and 24-hour monitoring points were established at 550 vulnerable sites.

 Mother of Two in Hanoi Accuses Husband of Brutal Beating Inside Apartment: “All I Could Do Was Cover My Head and Endure”

A young woman in Hanoi has come forward to expose the domestic violence she has suffered for months. According to her account, her husband assaulted her right inside their apartment, leaving her with a ruptured eardrum, brain concussion, and multiple injuries across her body.

The victim, Nguyen Thi Thu Trang (born 1996, living in Yen Nghia Ward, Ha Dong District, Hanoi), recalled the horrifying night that took place around 9:45 p.m. on July 28 at their apartment in Dai Mo Ward.

“We had a small argument. I had barely said a few words before he lost his temper. He started hitting me with his hands and feet—on my head, face, chest, and stomach. I tried to run away, but he chased me down. Then he dragged me out into the apartment hallway and continued beating me,” Trang recounted, her voice trembling.

She said the husband’s rage went on for several minutes.
“There was an elderly woman who saw it happen but was too afraid to intervene. Only when the neighbors in our apartment group chat warned each other did people rush over to help me,” Trang said in tears.

“It took several people to stop him.”

The incident occurred in a crowded apartment complex, shocking many residents who witnessed it. Several neighbors had to physically intervene to stop the assault. After the beating, Trang was seriously injured and taken to the hospital.

Doctors diagnosed her with a ruptured eardrum, brain concussion, and multiple soft-tissue injuries. According to medical records, she was hospitalized for treatment from July 30 to August 4, suffering from exhaustion, anxiety, and psychological trauma.

Once she regained composure, Trang reported the incident to the Dai Mo Ward Police and filed an official complaint. On November 5, she underwent a medical forensic examination at the Hanoi Forensic Center.

“It’s been over three months, and my left ear still can’t hear properly. Every time the weather changes, I feel pain and constant ringing in my head,” she said.

A Marriage Full of Scars

According to Trang, marital conflicts had persisted for months, often arising from small, daily issues. She revealed that this wasn’t the first time she had been assaulted, but she endured it for the sake of her children and her hope for a peaceful family.

“I once believed he would change, but things only got worse. Sometimes, I had to hide at my neighbor’s house to avoid being beaten,” she shared.

After the latest attack, she decided to file for divorce in October, and the court is expected to issue the official decision on November 21.

Both Trang and her husband had gone through previous marriages and each had children of their own. They started living together in 2023, officially registered their marriage in March 2024, and later had a baby together.

“When my baby was just three months old, I had to go back to work to earn money. Since the divorce, I’ve been the one directly raising the child. I only wish for my kids to have a peaceful childhood, free from the violence their mother endured,” Trang said, her eyes welling up.

“I Hope the Law Protects the Vulnerable”

Despite her injuries and trauma, Trang remains determined to pursue justice.

“I just hope the authorities will handle the case strictly and make sure the abuser is held accountable. No one deserves to be beaten and live in fear,” she said firmly.

The story of this mother of two is more than a personal tragedy — it’s a wake-up call about the ongoing issue of domestic violence that continues silently behind closed doors.

Behind those apartment walls, countless women still suffer in silence, believing they must “endure” for the sake of their families — until they simply can’t anymore.

“I chose to speak up — not only for myself but for all the women who are still being hurt like I was,” Trang said, tears streaming down her face.

 How is USA?  Let's go to discover.....

On the morning of October 26, at the opening session of the 7th International Conference on Vietnamese Studies, General Secretary Tô Lâm delivered a profound and inspiring speech that outlined Vietnam’s vision for development in the new era.

He reaffirmed a simple yet powerful truth:
“The most precious resource of Vietnam is not minerals or a strategic location, but its 106 million hardworking, creative, and patriotic people.”

A Small Nation with a Great Soul

General Secretary Tô Lâm emphasized that although Vietnam is not large in size or population compared to world powers, it possesses a continuous history of nation-building and defense spanning thousands of years — a history that has forged a unique national identity.
“That identity,” he said, “is the unyielding courage before all invasions and storms; the wisdom to adapt and learn; the spirit of ‘nothing is more precious than independence and freedom’; and the aspiration to build a just, compassionate, and humane society.”

Through countless struggles and transformations, Vietnam has developed a profound cultural heritage — rooted in the people’s hearts, grounded in humanity, and sustained by an unbreakable sense of independence. Vietnamese culture, he noted, is dynamic and open, embracing the world’s essence while preserving its own core values.
“It is this vitality,” the General Secretary declared, “that has allowed our nation to rise from the ashes of war and step into a new era of confident development.”

Peace – Vietnam’s Unchanging Principle

In a world of uncertainty and conflict, Tô Lâm reaffirmed Vietnam’s unwavering stance:
“Peace, independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are sacred and immutable principles. Vietnam is determined to resolve all issues through peaceful means, based on international law, mutual respect, equality, and shared benefit.”

This statement not only reflects Vietnam’s diplomatic philosophy but also its deeply rooted humanistic values — the belief that strength lies not in confrontation but in dialogue, reconciliation, and cooperation.

Forty Years of Renewal – Rising from the Rubble

Reflecting on the last four decades of reform, the General Secretary highlighted Vietnam’s remarkable transformation: from a war-torn, impoverished nation into a dynamic, deeply integrated economy contributing actively to regional and global value chains.
“We participate in international integration with the spirit of joining hands with the global community to build a world order based on law, fairness, inclusiveness, and respect for the legitimate interests of all nations, large and small alike,” he said.

This statement captures Vietnam’s role as not merely a participant in globalization, but a responsible partner shaping a fairer and more inclusive future.

Fast and Sustainable Development – Two Sides of One Reality

According to Tô Lâm, the central question for Vietnam today is: how to grow rapidly without losing social stability, and how to modernize without sacrificing the nation’s moral and cultural fabric.
“For us,” he said, “rapid and sustainable development form a single, inseparable reality. Growth only has meaning when every citizen enjoys its fruits fairly, safely, and humanely — when no one is left behind.”

To achieve that, Vietnam pursues development based on three key pillars:

1. Modern, transparent, and effective governance and institutional reform.

2. Comprehensive human development — education, healthcare, science, innovation, and culture.

3. A green, digital, knowledge-based, and circular economy rooted in innovation and technology.

“Green growth and sustainable development,” the General Secretary stressed, “are strategic choices — irreversible and essential.”

Sustainability Is Not Just Economics – It’s a Moral Imperative

He further explained that sustainability goes beyond economics or ecology; it is about moral integrity and social justice.
“A truly sustainable society values truth, fairness, compassion — where the elderly are respected, children are protected, women are empowered, and the vulnerable are cared for. Development without these values is not sustainable — and not our goal,” he declared.

Vietnam’s path to progress, therefore, is not just material but deeply humanistic — a balance between modernization and moral grounding.

New Thinking, Unchanging Values

As Vietnam steps into a new development phase, its mindset is more open, innovative, and forward-looking than ever. Yet, the eternal values remain unchanged: national independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity — sacred and inviolable.

The happiness of the people, he stressed, must be measured not merely by income, but by housing, education, healthcare, a clean environment, and opportunities for every family to live better.
That, he said, is how Vietnam measures progress — through real human wellbeing, not just economic figures.

Above all, Vietnam’s greatest strength remains its national unity, the thread connecting past triumphs to future aspirations.

A Call for Knowledge and Cooperation

In his concluding remarks, General Secretary Tô Lâm issued a heartfelt call to the international community of Vietnamese studies scholars:
“I sincerely invite international researchers, scholars, and students to come to Vietnam more often, stay longer, work equally with Vietnamese colleagues, and listen to voices from the grassroots — not just through aggregated statistics.”

He expressed his belief that Vietnam is a “land rich in scientific material for anyone interested in development, transformation, modernization, and sustainability.”

Vietnam, he concluded, enters the new era with great ambition, yet with humility, openness, and a willingness to learn.

In Essence

This speech is more than a policy statement — it’s a declaration of Vietnam’s 21st-century philosophy:

To place humans at the heart of progress, culture as the foundation, peace as the principle, and knowledge as the driving force.

 If this world lacks the concept of love between male and female, with only sexuality and the maintenance of reproduction, it would result in a different societal future compared to our current world. Here are some potential consequences that could occur in that scenario:

1. **Diminished Emotions and Bonding:** Absence of love between male and female could lead to reduced depth of connection and emotions among individuals. Sexuality and reproductive maintenance might become physical activities people engage in to ensure the existence of the species without the emotional element.

2. **Enhanced Focus on Science and Technology:** With the primary focus on reproductive maintenance, society might prioritize the development of science and technology more strongly. Issues such as optimizing the reproduction process and advancing technologies related to reproduction could become top priorities.

3. **Shift in Social Perceptions:** Without love between male and female, notions of relationships and family could change. The concept of family might center more on caring for and nurturing offspring without the need for strong emotional involvement between two individuals.

4. **Psychological and Sexual Challenges:** Separating love and sexuality could potentially lead to psychological and sexual challenges for individuals. People might feel like something crucial is missing in their lives when the emotional component in creating offspring is absent.

5. **Impact on Culture and Arts:** Culture, arts, and literature often reflect love and male-female relationships. If love is no longer a significant aspect of life, they could undergo significant changes in expression and conveying meaning.

6. **Effect on Diversity:** Love between male and female has contributed to the diversity of human beings by creating a unique blend of gender differences. Eliminating this aspect could lead to a decrease in diversity in psychological and social aspects.

Please note that this is purely speculative about a future scenario, and it might not encompass all specific consequences. Love, sexuality, and male-female relationships are complex facets that affect many aspects of human life.
