Hanoi: The Border Guard High Command announced on March 2 that it has accelerated the application of information technology (IT) and administrative reform in managing and safeguarding sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national border security, and has achieved significant results. According to Colonel Do Ngoc Toan, Director of the Department of Border Gate Management under the command, the pilot of the information technology application in issuing and controlling various permits at port border gates via the electronic border information portal is currently underway. The force is now supplementing utilities and refining software to facilitate the issuance of permits at online port border gates and confirm them with digital signatures. As scheduled, in 2024, the system will be deployed at seven port border gates. By 2025, it will be implemented at all port border gates nationwide, he said. The control of various permits is conducted using 2D barcode technology, which helps reduce inspection time for sa ilors, shoreline passengers, and disembarking workers from around three minutes to about 30 seconds per person, he noted. In the coming time, the Department of Border Gate Management will collaborate with relevant agencies to implement the Government's Project 06 as per the Ministry of National Defense's plan to connect and utilise national population database for immigration management, among others, Toan added. Currently, the force is implementing 21 electronic border procedures, including 18 procedures integrated with the national one-stop-shop portal and the procedures deployed on the electronic border information portal at 89 ports of entry, international border gates, and main land border gates. The results of resolving administrative procedures for 19 electronic border procedures at 89 ports of entry have been synchronised to the Ministry of Defence's public service portal. An entry-exit management and control software based on a centralised data model has been connected with 109 border checkpoints and synchronised with data from the Ministry of Public Security's Immigration Department through direct connection systems./.

From the case where it was shared that Scammers send charging cables to suck money. However, the trick was to plug the mobile phone cable into the crimin al's device.

By the price of Khao Yai land From less than ten thousand per rai Not less than 5 million baht per rai, thus being the source of political capital behind the Khao Yai forest encroachment. By the Khao Yai area There is overlapping of government agencies in 5 areas: It is an area of ??Khao Yai forest according to the Forest Protection and Reserve Act of 1938. It is an area of ??Khao Yai National Park according to the National Park Act 1962. It is a forest garden area of ??the Lam Takhong Watershed Management Unit. It is the area of ??Lam Takhong Self-Help Settlement, 1972. It is the area of ??ALRO, 1987.

Durian emerging as ‘golden fruit’ among Vietnam’s exports

Hanoi: Vietnam is striving to further assert its durian export position and join the billion-dollar export industry with the current advantages in hand, coupled with efforts to better the fruit quality. The country is working hard to tap the potential and expand global reach for the sector. Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) show that Vietnam has more than 110,000 ha of durian with a yearly output of nearly 850,000 tonnes. The country's major durian-growing areas include the Central Highlands with more than 52,000 ha, accounting for about 47% of the total area, the Mekong Delta region with 33,000 ha (about 30%), and the Southeast region with 21,000 ha (about 19%). Thanks to the advantage of high selling prices and the preference of import markets, Vietnamese durian has risen to a much higher position compared to other crops such as pepper, dragon fruit, and rubber. In the last five years, the durian growing area increased by nearly 25% yearly. According to Do Ha Nam, C hairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Intimex Group, crops such as coffee and pepper yield profits ranging from 200 - 300 million VND (8,100 - 12,150 USD) per hectare/year, while durian trees generate yearly profits of 2 billion VND per hectare. There has never been an agricultural product that quickly brought in billion-dollar export revenue like durian upon entering the global market, Nam said. Among the largest durian importers, China continues to be the most promising market for the fruit, said Nguyen Quang Hoa, Director of Duong Vu Co., Ltd. According to statistics from the MARD, Vietnamese durian has reached 24 markets, with the export value to China accounting for over 99% of the total export turnover of the fruit. Enterprises forecast that in 2024 and the following years, China will continue to be the main consumer of this fruit. The durian industry has been projected to grow by 7.2% per year in the 2019-2025 period. This is considered an opportunity for Vietnam to sustainably develop its durian industry in the future. Tran Thanh Nam, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, emphasised the need for durian farmers and export enterprises to ensure the quality, design, and origin of goods when exporting to China to ensure that Vietnamese durians can maintain their position in this market. According to General Secretary of the Vietnam Vegetable and Fruit Association Dang Phuc Nguyen, there remains a lot of room for Vietnam to export durian to both the Chinese and the global market. He predicted that the export turnover of the fruit could reach approximately 3.5 billion USD this year./. Source: Vietnam News Agency
