An agreement announced on December 23rd resolves Indonesia and Vietnam’s 12-year maritime boundary dispute.

The agreement announced during Vietnam’s President Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s 3-day state visit to Indonesia will ease long-standing tensions between the two nations. China asserts ownership of a portion of the territory that Vietnam and Indonesia had previously disputed, but China’s claim of “historic rights” to the region was rejected when Indonesia and China settled their boundary dispute under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The agreement is a significant step toward a unified front by China’s neighbors in the peaceful resolution of maritime disputes in the South China Sea.

The agreement was a component of numerous initiatives aimed at enhancing bilateral cooperation. By 2028, the two leaders hope to increase bilateral trade to $15 billion. It also resolves years of disputes over fishing areas in the region.

On December 28, a report presented at the National Scientific Conference On Stroke Treatment stated that Vietnam records 200,000 strokes annually.

Only one-third of these patients visit the hospital within the first six hours, the so-called “golden hours,” when treatment is most effective.

The Vietnam Association of Oriental Medicine organized the event and noted that stroke has severe repercussions, affecting the patient’s capacity for independent living and placing a heavy financial burden on society. According to the study, the percentage of patients who develop dementia after a stroke ranges from 6 to 41%. .

The conference is a discussion of methods that can be used in clinical practice and improve patient treatment.

What are stroke symptoms?

• Suddenly feeling numb or weak, especially on one side of the body, in the face, arm, or leg.
• Suddenly having trouble speaking or understanding speech.
• Sudden vision issues in one or both eyes.
• Sudden difficulty walking, lightheaded, losing your balance, or having poor coordination.

A local official in the Dak Lak province of the Central Highlands confirmed that one child had died and three other children had suffered serious injuries while allegedly playing with firecrackers. Tuoi Tre News reported the incident, which is a somber reminder to remember safety when celebrating this Tet Lunar New Year.

Fireworks have been more accessible in recent years, but the more dangerous ones remain illegal.

Order No. 137, published on November 28, 2020, loosened the restrictions on fireworks and firecrackers, which private use had been prohibited since 1994. In addition to public holidays like Tet and Hung King’s Day, institutions, organizations, people over the age of 18, and businesses can now light fireworks on special occasions like birthdays, weddings, conferences, grand openings, anniversaries, and other cultural events.

The decree, however, made it clear that “explosive sounds” are not permitted and that only “non-explosive” fireworks and firecrackers that produce sound, light, and color are permitted. Sparklers were listed as an acceptable item, but fireworks that shoot into the air are still prohibited.
