At the ceremony, marking the 79th anniversary of Vietnam’s first national election (January 6), NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man emphasised that the submissions to the awards demonstrated creative approaches and compelling narratives that resonated with readers and impressed the judging panel.
Many articles effectively captured the legislature’s efforts and determination to reform and improve its operations throughout 2024. NA Chairman Man expressed his belief that journalists will continue their professional passion, sharp insight and unwavering determination, working alongside the NA to convey its legislation, supreme oversight, and critical decision-making process.
He also highlighted the significance of reportages to identify obstacles in both law making and enforcement as well as urgent issues affecting citizens and businesses that require attention from the NA and People’s Councils to strengthen the efficiency of the representative organisations.
The press has played an important role in spreading a spirit of positivity, aspiration and determination throughout the Party, army and society, he said that pointing out key areas where the media coverage should focus, such as Party General Secretary To Lam’s message about the country’s new era — the era of the nation’s rise, scientific-technological development, digital transformation, administrative reforms, and anti-corruption efforts.
