Party newspapers to boost co-operation

HA NOI (VNS)— Co-operation between the newspapers of the Communist Party of Viet Nam and the Communist Party of China will become stronger in future.

This was announced on Monday by Dinh The Huynh, head of the Commission for Popularisation and Education of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee.

He made the statement while receiving the editor-in-chief of the China People's Daily, Wu Hengquan, in Ha Noi.

Huynh, who is also a Politburo member and Secretary of the Party's Central Committee, said that over 20 years since the normalisation of relations, co-operation between Viet Nam and China had expanded in all fields, including politics, economics, trade, culture, education, scientific-technology, security and defence.

He said those involved in education and popularisation tasks played a very important role.

Huynh praised the close ties between the two Party newspapers, adding that they should organise more exchanges of reporters. On Sunday, the editor-in-chief of Nhan Dan (The People) newspaper, Thuan Huu, held talks with his counterpart Wu Hengquan.

They agreed that the two Parties' official newspapers needed to strengthen co-operation in covering the achievements of Viet Nam's renewal process and China's reforms.

The Chinese delegation were on a working visit to Viet Nam at the invitation of Nhan Dan daily's editorial board. — VNS
