Russia suspends its mission to NATO, foreign minister says

 Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday that Russia is suspending its mission to NATO as of November 1, adding that contact between NATO and Moscow may be done through the Russian embassy in Belgium.

NATO announced last Wednesday that it had cut the staff of the Russian mission to NATO from 20 to 10 members, revoking the accreditation of 8 diplomats and abolishing 2 vacant positions.

Russia condemned NATO’s move to halve the staff at its Moscow headquarters in spite of Russia’s efforts to dialogue with NATO.

Japanese film starring Vietnamese actor released

 Come and Go, the Japanese film starring Vietnamese actor Liên Bỉnh Phát, will be screened in theatres across Japan tomorrow.

In the film, Phát plays Nam, a technical intern from Việt Nam who is caught up in a murder case.

Come and Go is the first international film that Phat has participated in, in which he has the opportunity to work with the Japanese film crew, especially director Lim Kah Wai.

The 30-year-old actor went to Japan in April 2019 and stayed for a week to act in Come and Go.

In his first time acting in a foreign film, Phát said that he was both excited and nervous. In Come and Go, he spoke both Japanese and Vietnamese. In order to prepare for his scenes, the actor spent many days learning and practising the language.

Born in 1990 in the southern province of Kiên Giang, Phát won the Gemstone Award for newcomers at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2018 and was honoured as “New Asian Star” at the Asian Stars Up Next Award a year later.

Set in Osaka during cherry blossom season, Come and Go begins when people discover the body of an old woman in an old apartment and follows a detective as he investigates the murder.

Issues of law-governed socialist State building discussed in detail

 

Different issues in the building and perfection of a law-governed socialist State were discussed at a meeting chaired by National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue on Tuesday. The meeting is the second held by the steering committee for a scheme to build a strategy for building and perfecting the law-governed socialist State of Vietnam until 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Chairman Hue spoke highly of the opinions given at the meeting, noting that the model of a law-governed socialist State in Vietnam features both the universality of a law-governed State in the world and the specific socialist-oriented features of the country.

Given this, the strategy making process must adhere to relevant viewpoints of the Party and State, the resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, as well as the socio-economic development strategy for 2021-2030. It must also take into account the post-2030 period, he added.
