HÀ NỘI — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Phạm Bình Minh hailed the press’s significant contributions to the country’s external affairs in 2016 at a New Year’s meeting hosted by the foreign ministry yesterday. 
He voiced his appreciation for the professional and excellent services of domestic media agencies in recent years, saying that they continue to conduct fast and full coverage of the State’s and Party’s activities and policies and promote Việt Nam’s image to international friends. 
The press has also worked closely with the Foreign Ministry in maintaining the peace and stability of national development and fighting for national sovereignty at sea, he added. 
The Foreign Minister urged journalists nationwide to maintain their strong performance this year, as there will be a range of major events--including a series of APEC activities. 
Representatives from participating news agencies took note of strengthened connection and effective collaboration between the press and the diplomatic sector. 
They vowed to continue boosting that partnership in 2017 in order to contribute to the nation’s overall development. — VNS
