HÀ NỘI — Deputy Prime Minister Vũ Đức Đam extended his greetings on Tuesday to journalists and reporters nationwide to mark the 95th Việt Nam Revolutionary Press Day on June 21.

Đam attended a press conference held by the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Việt Nam Journalists’ Association, and Radio the Voice of Việt Nam.

He took the occasion to thank journalists and reporters for their contributions to communication activities, especially amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

Regarding national press development and management planning, he emphasised the task must be carried out on schedule but requires suitable adjustments be made.

Press planning aims to make the media develop in a more regular and methodical manner, he said.

The Deputy PM appreciated the press’s social criticism, adding it should maintain this work to contribute more to national development.

He also asked press management agencies to prepare plans and policies to facilitate press development and step up communications to publicise the socio-economic achievements of ministries, sectors and localities as all-level Party congresses are held towards the 13th National Party Congress. — VNS
