Vinh Phuc (VNA)💫 – The 2016 Youth Month kicked off at the Ho Chi Minh Square in Vinh Yen city, the northern province of Vinh Phuc, on February 27 with the participation of 3,000 local young people.
Addressing the event, Truong Thi Mai, head of the Party Central Committee’s Mass Mobilisation Commission, expressed her belief that the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCMCYU) will actualise the 12 th National Party Congress’s Resolution soundly, and that young people nationwide will help bring the document into reality through their creations and specific actions.
She called on young people and youth union organisations to make practical contributions to the society and the country, roll out good models on a larger scale and improve the efficiency of their campaigns.
Activities to be carried out in the month will focus on youths’ vocations, green environment, social welfare and the founding anniversary of the HCMCYU.
At the ceremony, the Secretariat of the HCMCYU Central Committee presented gifts and scholarships to social welfare beneficiaries and disadvantaged students.
On this occasion, 1,000 youths donated their blood and 500 others cycled to raise public awareness of traffic safety. Young doctors provided free health check-ups and medicines for workers at industrial parks based in the locality.

The youth unions across Hanoi have drawn up detailed plans for a wide range of voluntary activities to support local communities and help ensure social security this year.
A wide range of activities will be held during the 2016 Youth Month in March with the aim to encourage young people across the nation to take action for the community.
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.

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.

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.
