Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh hailed cooperation between the Government and the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) during a conference on September 29 to review the two sides' coordination results in the 2016 -2020 period and the first eight months of this year, and future focuses.
The PM attributed the country's achievements over the past five years to contributions by the VFF, saying that results in previous and current tenures show that cooperation between the Government and the VFF is suitable for national interests.
The two sides have taken the initiative in carrying out tasks stipulated in the collaboration regulation, according to a report at the event.
The tasks have been implemented in a comprehensive and practical manner that addressed urgent issues in life and socio-economic development, thereby creating consensus in society and strengthening national solidarity.
Amid the complexities of COVID-19, the sides have joined hands to tap on strengths of the national solidarity and mobilise resources in the political system, calling for consensus and support of the business community and people nationwide so as to repel the ongoing pandemic and take care of people’s lives.
In the coming time, the Government and the VFF will step up collaboration in COVID-19 prevention and control as well as manufacturing and production, in an effort to offset impacts of the pandemic.
They will continue to promote national solidarity and implement tasks in socio-economic development and ensuring national defence and security; and work together in law building and social accountability programmes for the next year and the 2021-26 period.
He stressed that the Government has determined to operate with integrity, discipline and effectiveness in the 2021-26 term.
The PM asked the VFF and other socio-political organisations, along with the Party Central Committee’s Commission on Mass Mobilisation to partner with the Government to carry out key tasks stipulated in the 13th National Party Congress, and successfully curb the spread of COVID-19 and foster socio-economic recovery and development.
The Government leader hoped that the VFF will strengthen communication work in encouraging good deeds while repelling wrongdoings, and promptly update information from reliable sources and refute fake and inaccurate news, particularly on COVID-19 prevention and control./.
The Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) and its member organisations should better perform their key role in building the national great unity bloc, sticking to the goal of national independence and socialism, and resolutely safeguarding national independence and sovereignty, thus maintaining socio-political stability for national construction, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has stated.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on August 18 asked the Party Central Committee’s Mass Mobilisation Commission, the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee and relevant organisations to continue to raise awareness of pandemic prevention and control among their members and the people as well as their responsibility in the COVID-19 fight.
Building the firm postures of people’s determination, all-people national defence and people's security to lay groundwork for the cause of national defence is one of the important tasks and solutions to carry the country towards a new development period, which is mentioned in the documents of the 13th National Party Congress.
President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Do Van Chien, on September 22, received nearly 36 billion VND (over 1.58 million USD) worth of donations for COVID-19 prevention and control from 24 state-owned enterprises.
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.
The Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang is intensifying efforts to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing as part of the country’s goal of having the European Commission’s “yellow card” warning lifted.
Throughout its 80-year history, the VNA has remained at the forefront of information dissemination. It has consistently delivered timely, accurate, and objective reports on both domestic and international events, serving the Party’s leadership, the State’s management, and the public’s demand for official news.
With strong support from local authorities, businesses, organisations, and residents, the province has successfully built or repaired 10,707 homes for disadvantaged households, including war veterans, families of martyrs, ethnic minority people, and low-income residents.
Throughout its resistance against colonialists and imperialists, Vietnam developed a revolutionary press that has served as a benchmark for just and legitimate causes worldwide.
Founded in 1842, the Vienna Philharmonic is regarded as a cultural ambassador of Austria, with prestigious conductors like Mahler and Karajan who shape its legacy. Its New Year’s Concert, broadcast to over 90 countries annually, stands as a global symbol of classical music excellence.
PM Chinh lauded the press’s historic role in the nation’s fight for independence and its ongoing process of national development, affirming that the Government always highly appreciates the close partnership and steadfast support of press agencies and journalists nationwide.
In recent decades, Vietnam’s mainstream media has become a reliable and persuasive channel for showcasing the nation’s development policies and achievements, especially in economic matters, according to a senior assistant editor at the Times of India.
A hub for sharing best practices, the event aims to forge solutions for financial sustainability, public media contracts, audience engagement, content innovation, and newsroom restructuring. It is also a moment for Vietnam’s media to accelerate its progress and figure out what the “revolutionary press” means in a new era.
From “Thanh nien”, Vietnam’s first revolutionary newspaper founded by Nguyen Ai Quoc (later President Ho Chi Minh) on June 21, 1925, the revolutionary press has remained devoted to its sacred missions -accompanying the nation, serving the Fatherland, and working for the people.
The official launch of Emirates’ Dubai–Da Nang route on June 2 has sparked a “tourism revolution” for Vietnam’s central coastal city. Da Nang is emerging as a top destination for high-end travelers, particularly from the lucrative Middle Eastern market.
Bernama CEO Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin said VNA has been a consistent and reliable partner in OANA, contributing actively to the regional media landscape through content sharing, coordination, and policy discussions. Their coverage of ASEAN and Indochina issues adds valuable perspectives. Bernama appreciates the collaboration with VNA.
In this era of global integration and digitalisation, the press must adopt modern multimedia models to not only meet increasing information and communication demands but also align with the broader socio-economic development of the country.
