The Vietnamese and US officials expressed their delight at the flourishing comprehensive partnership in multiple spheres between the two countries, including high-level mutual visits and meetings, economic cooperation, trade, investment, sustainable development, green energy, clean energy, digital transformation, and infrastructure development.

Son said the US is one of the leading partners of Vietnam, adding he hopes the two sides will coordinate to further intensify bilateral relations ahead of the comprehensive partnership’s 10th anniversary in 2023, according to VNA.

To promote bilateral ties, the two sides agreed to increase meetings and delegation exchanges at all levels, especially high-level ones, and bolster connections in economy – trade, security – defence, education – training, and settlement of war consequences, including dioxin remediation at Bien Hoa airbase and the search for remains of Vietnamese martyrs.

They also agreed to exchange views on and coordinate in issues of common concern at regional and international forums, and strengthen partnerships with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Mekong sub-region.

State Secretary Blinken also took this occasion to congratulate Vietnam on its election to the United Nations Human Rights Council.

At the meeting between the Vietnamese and Japanese foreign ministers, the two sides noted with satisfaction the countries’ thriving relations in all aspects.

They agreed to enhance coordination to implement the agreements reached between the two Prime Ministers at the meeting on November 12, 2022, including Japan’s provision of new-generation official assistance development and support for Vietnam in socio-economic development, industrialisation, modernisation, and green transition.

To further tighten bilateral cooperation, especially amid the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2023, the two countries will step up all-level mutual visits; boost post-pandemic cooperation in different areas; increase cultural, people-to-people, locality-to-locality, and tourism exchanges; and work together to organise activities marking the anniversary.

Minister Son asked the two foreign ministries to improve the effectiveness of their dialogue mechanisms. He also called for the sending of more Vietnamese workers and trainees to Japan in the spirit of mutually beneficial cooperation, and for Japan’s continued simplification of visa granting procedures and facilitation of Vietnamese citizens’ entry into Japan.

Hayashi affirmed that Vietnam holds a role of leading importance in his country’s foreign policy towards the region. He also highly valued its role and stature in the region and the world.

Japan treasures and wishes to solidify all-round links with Vietnam, he said, asking the two foreign ministries to maintain coordination to promote important projects between the two countries and export of agricultural products to each other’s markets.

The ministers also exchanged views on international and regional issues on shared concern and agreed that their countries will coordinate closely at multilateral cooperation mechanisms like the UN, ASEAN, and APEC./.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.
