Novak Djokovic granted visa to play in 2023 Australian Open: local media

Djokovic, who is Serbian, was deported from Australia in the leadup to the Grand Slam in January after he declined to be vaccinated. The former world No. 1 was originally barred from the country until 2025. The ABC said it had confirmed Immigration Minister Andrew Giles had overturned that ban, allowing Djokovic to compete. A spokesperson for Australia’s immigration ministry declined to comment on the reports. Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said this month that Djokovic would be welcome in January if he could get a visa, but that Tennis Australia was unable to lobby on his behalf. Australia in July scrapped a rule that required international travelers to declare their COVID vaccination status, and Djokovic said in October he had received “positive signs” about the status of efforts to overturn his ban.  The post Novak Djokovic granted visa to play in 2023 Australian Open: local media appeared first on Vietexplorer....

Vietnam receives antiquities from US

The artifacts comprise a Late Neolithic stone axe, three bronze axes, a ceramic pot of the Dong Son Culture, three stone made crocodile statues in the 1st – 2nd centuries BC, and two bronze pipes created in the 17th – 18th centuries. In 2014, the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States (FBI) recovered more than 7,000 objects and artifacts that had been illegally collected and kept by Donald Miller, a self-proclaimed American philanthropist and amateur archaeologist. The deceased US citizen gave up ownership of those objects and artifacts and wished to return them to the rightful owners. Following the FBI announcement on its website in February 2019 that some of the artifacts were identified as of Vietnamese origin, the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in collaboration with the Vietnamese Embassy in the US worked alongside relevant US agencies on the identification and repatriation of those artifacts. In October 2022 experts from the Ministry of Cu...
