Press agencies' contributions for diplomacy achievements

During the renewal process, the national press has made significant achievements, contributing greatly to the national development.

I highly appreciates the vital role press agencies play in publicising the guidelines and policies of the Party, the State.

Press has help to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic by disseminating reliable information, raising public awareness, and debunking fake news, as well as to promote the development of the country.

Journalists are very important to the nation!

We stress the significant role of media agencies they play in effectively publishing the Party and State’s policies and laws, while rejecting wrongful allegations and creating social consensus.

Journalists need to uphold their work ethics, and raise their sense of responsibility to justify their positions as soldiers on the cultural and ideological front, as well as to make greater contributions to the country's development.

Leaders have lauded the media for its important contributions to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The media has ensured discipline in making news reports to prevent incitement in the society while urging the public to fully comply with prevention and control measures.

There are tasks to relevant agencies and units to work closely together to ensure the success of the Party national congress.

The Vietnamese revolutionary press has grown relentlessly under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and made important contributions to the cause of national liberation in the past as well as national building and safeguarding today.

Over the past century, the press has reflected various aspects of the country’s social, economic and political life, and popularised good social values and good deeds as well as successful models and outstanding people, while promoting Vietnam as a friendly and peaceful destination globally.

I know the role of journalists in protecting the nation’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity; and in fighting corruption, wastefulness, wrongdoings, social evils and moral deterioration.

We should urge journalists nationwide to further improve their professionalism and uphold their ethics and core values to continue pursuing the glorious mission of the revolutionary press.

Press agencies also focused on implementing the national press development and management plan up to 2025.

I hope press management organs to strictly inspect the implementation of political orientations, principles and functions of press agencies, and resolutely handle violations.

the press highlighted and asserted the political determination of the Party and State in the fight against corruption and wastefulness under the rule of “no prohibited zone and no exception in anti-corruption”.

Vietnamese press also promoted external information services and communication on the Vietnamese land and people as well as national achievements in the renewal process.

In order to achieve the dual goal of containing the pandemic and ensuring socio-economic development, the media should honour outstanding examples and effective economic models, helping to improve the business climate and stimulating domestic consumption.

The information about COVID-19 prevention and control have been covered by VNA journalists and reporters in a responsible and professional manner, she said, adding that the VNA has also taken the lead in fighting fake news.

Domestic press agencies published 560,000 news reports and articles about the COVID-19 epidemic.
