Recheck of 18 Oct 2026. Stored and read: the signed decision with its four annexes from the Government portal's file server (datafiles.chinhphu.vn; 18 scanned pages, read through Tesseract OCR redone on 18 Oct 2026 with Vietnamese among the language models) and the Government legal-documents portal entry (vanban.chinhphu.vn), which gives the number 1528/QĐ-TTg, issue date 11-08-2026, the Prime Minister as issuer and Lê Tiến Châu as signer. vanban.chinhphu.vn is now listed as an official host (Department of Government Information and Communications); as the record's secondary file it counts as another official source. The OCR still garbles the number ('4528/QĐ-TTg') and the day in the date line ('ngay M tháng 8 năm 2026'), so the day 11 August 2026 in date_published and date_in_force rests on the portal entry, which the PDF's file name (1528_qd-ttg_11082026-signed) matches; the signed PDF itself confirms only August 2026. The PDF is the file stored on 14 Oct 2026 (same SHA-256). The signing block shows 'KT. THU TƯỚNG' (signed for the Prime Minister); the signer's name is not legible in the OCR. The link to Decision 367/QĐ-TTg rests on VN-03's stored copy. No English text was found.
