On this occasion, the Government leader also extended the best wishes to journalists nationwide and called on them to keep their political steadfastness and occupational ethics, step up communications about role models, and fight negative phenomena.

PM Phuc added that the revolutionary press must make righteous and timely news updates, refute wrongful information, and encourage people to contribute to national development.

Also on June 18, a meeting took place in Hanoi to update the media about press activities and to mark the 94th anniversary of the Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day. It was held by the Party Central Committee’s Information and Education Commission, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Vietnam Journalists Association, and the Vietnam Television.
