On the occasion of the Lunar New Year of the Binh Ngo Year 2026, the Viet Nam Red Cross Society, in coordination with local authorities and sponsors, organized the program “Tet for Flood-Affected Communities” in Bac Ninh, Khanh Hoa, and Son La provinces, distributing thousands of gift packages and providing practical support to poor households and those affected by natural disasters, thereby helping local residents celebrate a joyful and warm Tet.

Lunar New Year (Tet) is increasingly becoming a familiar cultural gathering for international students at many universities across Vietnam. Through Tet celebrations organized right on campus, students from various countries have opportunities to experience traditional customs, engage in cultural exchanges, and feel a sense of sharing and warmth during the spring holidays while away from home.

On the afternoon of January 23, international press and media outlets simultaneously reported on the closing session of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
