Under a new Government Decree, E-cigarette smokers shall be fined up to VND5 million.

Scheduled for implementation between 2026 and 2030, the project will include a comprehensive system of stations, depots, and auxiliary facilities and is expected to be carried out under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.

Under a newly-issued resolution of the Government, the validity of Decree No. 72/2026/ND-CP, which lowers preferential import duty rates on selected fuel products and raw materials to 0%, is extended until the end of June 30 this year.

This will be Mr. To Lam's first visit to India in his capacity as Party General Secretary and State President of Vietnam.

Under these resolutions, the Government decided to abolish 184 administrative procedures, simplify 394 administrative procedures, and decentralize 134 administrative procedures to local authorities.

The designated procedures eligible for the "Green Lane" include: issuance, re-issuance, and extension of work permit exemption certificates; and issuance, re-issuance, and extension of work permits for foreign workers.
