Hanoi (VNA) – A delegation of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Popularisation and Education led by Nguyen Trong Nghia, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and head of the commission, on June 15 visited and congratulated central-level press agencies on the 96th Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21).

The delegation visited the Vietnam Television (VTV), Nhan Dan (People) Newspaper, Vietnam News Agency, and Radio The Voice of Vietnam (VOV).

At the meetings with the agencies’ leading officials, Nghia lauded the press’s important contributions to the successful organization of major events of the country over the recent past such as the 13th National Party Congress, the elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and all-level People’s Councils in the 2021-2026 term, and the 131st birth anniversary of late President Ho Chi Minh.

Affirming the leading position of the four central-level press agencies in the Vietnamese revolutionary press system, Nghia appreciated their innovation efforts to enhance the quality of popularisation work.

He expressed his belief that the four agencies as well as other press outlets will continue promoting their glorious tradition, fulfilling their assigned tasks, contributing to building a modern, professional, humane and effective revolutionary journalism as the goal set out by the National Plan on Press Development and Management until 2025, and at the same time enhancing the country’s position and prestige in the international arena./.
