The People’s Committee of central Thua Thien-Hue province and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) are working hand-in-hand to implement a plan for the Huong River through 2017.
Funded by KOICA, the 6-million-USD project hopes to contribute to the Hue imperial city’s sustainable development, especially in terms of culture and tourism.
The project is being carried out across 365 hectares, covering several parks, architectures, traditional craft villages and markets along the riverside and islets.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Cao said the plan aims to upgrade and rebuild surrounding facilities, develop tourism sites along the riverside and build a marine transport route.
The province is currently focusing on constructing parks and flower gardens from Trang Tien Bridge to Thien Mu pagoda, as well as on land clearance.
Recognised as a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 1993, Hue imperial city is a must-see destination for tourists visiting Vietnam. Its relic sites, such as the imperial citadel, Nam Giao esplanade, An Dinh palace, royal tombs and Thien Mu pagoda, all have close relations with the Huong River.
Cutting through the city centre, the Huong (Perfume) River is around 80 kilometres in length and owes its name to its path through aromatic forests. Dotted with rowboats and curving past the citadel, gardens, pagodas, towers and temples, the poetic landscape has long mesmerised travellers.-VNA

In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.

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.

Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people.
