Exhibition themed “Broadcasting for a strong and prosperous Viet Nam” opens in Quang Ninh

The event is among activities of the 17th National Radio Festival.

This is not only one of the opening activities of the 17th National Radio Festival but also a journey through images and sound, taking visitors back to the radiant memories of the journalism profession while looking ahead to a future filled with aspiration.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, journalist Nguyen The Lam, Director of Quang Ninh Newspaper and Radio-Television Centre, said that since its inception, radio broadcasting has carried a special mission of linking the Party’s will with the people’s aspirations. Throughout the history of national liberation and construction, voices carried on the airwaves became a sharp weapon and a firm spiritual anchor. The 17th festival once again affirms the position of radio journalism in awakening the nation’s internal strength.

A place of honour in the exhibition has been reserved for the Voice of Viet Nam (VOV), the country’s key national media agency. On display are valuable materials such as photographs of President Ho Chi Minh and Party and State leaders with VOV, images of VOV reporters in action at sacred moments in the nation’s history, important milestones in VOV’s development, and the channels and media platforms within the VOV ecosystem.

A highlight of the exhibition is the timeline feature titled “The Flow of Quang Ninh Journalism”. Each artefact serves as a vivid witness, telling the story of periods of creative labour and of overcoming hardship and shortages to keep radio waves and television signals running uninterrupted.

Sharing more about this section, Do Ngoc Ha, Standing Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh Journalists Association, said the unit had made efforts to collect documents and artefacts relating to the press in the mining region, dating back to 1928 when revolutionary predecessors published the newspaper “Than” to spread revolutionary ideals among the working class.

The exhibition also includes a display of the 2026 Lunar New Year newspaper editions from press agencies across the country. This, too, symbolises convergence and the spirit of solidarity within the national press, working together towards a common goal: building a modern, professional, and humane Vietnamese revolutionary press.

The exhibition will remain open throughout the 17th National Radio Festival.
