On 15 September 1945, the Vietnam News Agency broadcast the Declaration of Independence - its very first news bulletin - in Vietnamese, French and English. That moment marked the birth of a strategic source of information for the nation. Over the past 80 years, with a vast domestic network and 30 foreign bureaux across five continents, VNA has continued to affirm its role as a pioneer in bringing Vietnam’s story to the world.​​​​​​​
