The US vice president has already visited Singapore in an effort to reaffirm trade ties

The US Vice President has already visited Singapore in an effort to reaffirm trade ties.

US Vice President Kamala Harris is in Vietnam on the second stop of her tour of South East Asia. The trip is largely seen as an effort by the US to reaffirm its economic and trade ties in the region. Correspondent for Nikkei Asia in Ho Chi Minh City, Lien Hoang, tells us how her visit is being received there. 

Thirty years ago today, Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union. Soon the country is also due to loose lucrative gas transit fees from Russia when its larger neighbour opens the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which will bypass Ukraine. We sit down with the CEO of the Ukrainian gas and oil company Naftogaz, Yuri Vitrenko, to reflect on 30 years of economic twists and turns. And the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics kick off today – largely without spectators, like the Olympics. So how can athletes and their sports still capitalise on the event? Conrad Wiacek, sports analyst at GlobalData in London tells us how.
