NGHÊ AN/QUẢNG NINH -- The Spring Press Festival opened on Wednesday in Con Cuông District of Nghệ An Province.

Some 100 newspapers and magazines of Nghệ An and other provinces participated in the event, which was hosted by Nghệ An’s Journalists’ Association.

The organisation board presented 200 gifts to poor households in the communes of Châu Khê, Cam Lâm, Lạng Khê and Môn Sơn.
