Vietnam Climate Week closes with focus on Mekong Delta resilience
Society 16:14 22/10/2026Vietnam Climate Week 2026 is drawing to a close in Can Tho, with a focus on how the Mekong Delta can adapt to growing climate pressures. What solutions are being explored to protect the region’s agriculture and livelihoods?
Khmer traditional arts enter university classrooms
Culture 16:58 15/10/2026Tra Vinh University in Vietnam is integrating traditional Khmer arts into higher education. By combining academic theory with practical training such as Rô Băm dance and mask-making, the institution is helping to preserve this cultural heritage. These structured university programmes ensure a new generation of artisans can deeply understand, practise and pass on these ancient traditions.
Under the roofs of Khmer pagodas
Culture 17:31 10/10/2026For the Khmer community in southern Vietnam, pagodas are more than places of worship. They are living centres of culture, where Buddhist traditions, the Khmer language and community bonds are passed down through generations.
River-sea route links Vietnam and China
Politics 18:46 26/09/2026From agricultural and aquatic products to processed goods, the need for more direct and convenient transport routes from the Mekong Delta to international markets is becoming increasingly clear. The Nanning–Can Tho direct river-sea container route adds another shipping option. But to maintain stable operation, cargo sources and the connectivity of the entire logistics chain remain important factors.
Bringing soul of rice to life
Culture 07:12 23/09/2026Rice may seem like a simple ingredient, but they have in fact, for generations, been an important staple of Vietnam. Now, young artists are giving this familiar grain a new artistic meaning. In Can Tho, one such artisan is turning rice into unique artworks that celebrate Vietnamese culture through creativity and craftsmanship.
Can Tho master plan faces resource challenges
Society 18:24 17/09/2026Can Tho City is seeking feedback on its proposed master plan as it looks to expand its development space and strengthen its role as the main city in the Mekong Delta. But the larger development space also brings challenges in mobilising and prioritising resources. Experts have highlighted several key issues in the draft plan.
Vietnam intensifies fight against IUU fishing
Society 18:16 17/09/2026Lifting the EC’s "yellow card" is vital for a sustainable, transparent, and responsible Vietnamese fishing sector. Joint efforts to tackle IUU fishing are driving clear progress towards removing the warning later this year.
Farm by-products create new value in Mekong
Society 16:23 17/09/2026Under the one-million-hectare low-emission rice project, the Mekong Delta is creating more value with fewer emissions. The region generates millions of tonnes of agricultural by-products each year. Once discarded or left unused, these materials are now being seen as valuable resources.
Can Tho chases double-digit growth
Economy 06:58 08/09/2026Can Tho is setting its sights on double-digit growth. To reach this goal, the urban hub of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta needs more than its traditional growth drivers. Industry must move up the value chain, trade must expand into new markets, logistics must become more efficient, and technology must help boost productivity.
