Hey there! 👋 Let’s catch up on some interesting news from Asia!
🚀 Vietnam Plans to Make Government Smaller
Vietnam 🇻🇳 wants to make its government work better! They plan to reduce the number of ministries from 18 to 14. This means fewer government departments, hoping to save money and make things run smoother. Imagine cleaning up your messy room so you can find your stuff faster! 🛋️➡️✨
General Secretary of Vietnam’s ruling Communist Party, To Lam, said this will help the government be more efficient. Almost all the lawmakers agreed with this plan. Pretty cool, right?
⚖️ South Korea’s Former President Goes to Court
In South Korea 🇰🇷, the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol appeared in court for the first time. His lawyers want him released from jail. They say he won’t try to hide any evidence. Last month, he was accused of leading an insurrection (that’s a big word for a rebellion) when he tried to impose martial law, which is when the military takes over control. It’s like in movies when the army steps in during emergencies!
🎰 Thailand’s New Casino Rules
Thailand 🇹🇭 is thinking about making new rules for people who want to go to casinos. To enter, locals might need to have at least 50 million baht in fixed deposits (that’s like having over $1.5 million saved up!) and pay an entry fee up to 5,000 baht (almost $150). This could stop many people from going. It’s like having a super expensive ticket to a theme park that most people can’t afford.
🚀 India’s Space Tech Boost
India 🇮🇳 wants to help new space technology companies! They’ve started a big fund (imagine a giant piggy bank 🐷) with over 5 billion rupees to help small businesses work on space projects. This could help India make cool new space inventions and reduce buying from other countries. Maybe one day, they’ll invent the next big rocket!
💰 Sri Lanka’s Plan for the Future
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 is aiming to fix its economy. The President, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, who is also the finance minister, shared the national budget. They plan to start paying back debts in 2028. He believes the economy will grow by 5% this year. It’s like when you save up your pocket money to buy something special in the future!
That’s all for now! Stay curious and keep exploring the world! 🌏✨
