The Ministry of Information and Communications will support Netflix as well as other foreign businesses in compliance with Vietnamese law, he said.

Since 1997, Japanese friends have donated approximately 100 cherry blossom trees that were planted in Viet Nhat village, now known as Thuy Khue flower village. Local workers spend plenty of time taking care of them in a special way. Cherry blossoms have three main colours, namely red, pink, and white.
