Hà Nội has been ranked ninth among the world’s 20 greatest cities for art and culture for 2025 by the UK-based Time Out magazine, making it the highest-ranked destination in Asia.
A special art programme was organised at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi on May 18 night to commemorate the 135th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 – 2025).
The victory made Vietnam one of two Asian representatives, along with the Philippines, in the 2026 IHF Men's and Women's Beach Handball World Championships.
Vietnam won its first World Cup gold in artistic gymnastics in seven years after Dang Ngoc Xuan Thien bagged a gold in the men's pommel horse event at the 2025 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup in Bulgaria on May 11.
The event will feature five teams: Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The teams will compete in a round-robin format to determine the winners, with two places up for grabs for the 2025 FIBA U16 Asia Cup.
