Hanoi (VNA) - 100 outstanding Vietnamese farmers in 2022 were honoured at a ceremony at Hanoi Opera House on October 14 on the occasion of the 92nd founding anniversary of the Vietnam Farmers' Union (VFU).
Among the 100 honoured, there are 15 ethnic minority people. All the honourees are farmers with outstanding achievements in production and business, promoting linkages, developing cooperatives, and building new-style rural areas. They have had many inventions and initiatives in startup and digital transformation, and also been important factors in promoting emulation movements in production and business.
Addressing the event, President Nguyen Xuan Phuc spotlighted the significance of the event and praised the honourees, saying that they are dynamic and creative examples with prominent achievements in production and business; effectively using capital, labour and land resources; and boldly apply science and technology to production.
They are really typical representatives for 3.6 million good farmers working in many industries nationwide, importantly contributing to restructuring agriculture and building new-style rural areas, he stressed.
President Phuc also highly valued the VFU for coordinating with the Party Central Committee's Commission for Information and Education, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to successfully organise the “Proud of Vietnamese Farmers” programme and award the title of "outstanding Vietnamese farmer".
He said the VFU needs to mobilise and effectively use all resources from all economic sectors at home and abroad in order to further promote more rapid and sustainable agriculture development, striving to realise the goal of building a prosperous agriculture, rich farmers, and civilised and modern countryside.
Attention should be paid to taking practical and effective support measures to help farmers strengthen linkages and re-organise production in the direction of large-scale commodity production towards increasing the value and quality of farm produce and meeting the demand of domestic and international markets, he said./.
As most of the machines used in the agricultural sector are imported, innovations in agricultural machinery made by Vietnamese farmers are being viewed as “rain after the drought”.
Vietnamese rice businesses and farmers are still lacking awareness of low-carbon rice production, said Nguyen Van Hung, an expert from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).
The programmes have brought about positive changes to rural infrastructure, comprehensively improved the material and spiritual lives of farmers, and contributed to Vietnam's economic restructuring, said PM Pham Minh Chinh.
The festival highlighted the contributions and robust development of Vietnam's revolutionary press over the past century while promoting press products and showcasing the creativity of Vietnamese journalists.
The programme on sustainable poverty reduction has achieved its annual targets for reducing the poverty rate as assigned by the National Assembly and the Government. It has fulfilled five specific objectives and five five-year goals, and met nine out of 12 indicators related to addressing basic social service shortages.
UNICEF stands ready to support the Government in implementing this important law and in continuing to invest in teachers as the cornerstone of a resilient, inclusive, and high-quality education system for all children.
PM Pham Minh Chinh highlighted how Vietnam's revolutionary press has continuously evolved and strengthened over the past century, affirming its role as a sharp and vital political, cultural, and ideological weapon serving the Fatherland and the people in the glorious revolutionary cause of the Party.
Vietnamese Consul General in Fukuoka Vu Chi Mai highlighted the growing demand for Vietnamese workers in Kyushu, especially in Fukuoka, Oita, and Saga prefectures. Currently, the region employs about 35,000 Vietnamese manual workers and over 5,000 IT engineers.
In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.
In recent interviews granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s reporters in Mexico, prominent figures reflected on the press’s legacy and its global influence.
VietnamPlus e-newspaper of the VNA clinched an A prize in the “Outstanding Press Product” category for its immersive 3D multimedia project, “Epic of Reunification,” a groundbreaking blend of storytelling and technology. The VNA won another A prize for its eye-catching exhibition booth.
Today, the press for foreign service has evolved into a distinct, irreplaceable force, bridging Vietnam with the world and portraying a nation that is stable, peace-loving, and fully integrated into the international community.
At a review conference held on June 21, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh praised the province’s scientific, coordinated, and flexible approach. He noted that the early completion reflects the strong commitment of local authorities, the business community, philanthropists, and residents in improving housing conditions for disadvantaged groups.
The VNA delegation, led by General Director Vu Viet Trang, actively participated in the event, engaging in both professional and diplomatic activities.
In the context where AI dominates and produces vast volumes of content, the only sustainable path forward for journalism is to focus on high-quality content and core values. Journalism must redefine its mission - not to report the fastest, but to provide the most profound and trustworthy value.
Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.
Vietnam and Cambodia are hoped to strengthen their robust collaboration across various sectors, particularly in resolving remaining border issues to transform the border area into a zone of peace, friendship, cooperation, and development.
The strategic product, managed and operated by the Vietnam News Agency Digital Media Centre (VNA Media), is an official channel for popularising the Party and State’s information and documents as well as delivering mainstream and trustworthy news to both domestic and international audiences through various kinds of multimedia formats.
Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people. During the resistance war against the colonialists, journalists took great personal risks to inspire patriotism and the will of rising up against foreign invaders.
The total investment exceeded 319 billion VND (12.2 million USD), including over 261 billion VND from the state budget and 57.5 billion VND mobilised from businesses, organisations, and individuals.
