Vietnamese youth today continue the story of devotion in their own way – through passion, knowledge, and bold commitment.

Compared to the 75-year journey of Nhan Dan (People) Newspaper (March 11, 1951–2026), Nhan Dan Online has only travelled a period of 28 years (June 21, 1998–2026). However, compared to other online newspapers, Nhan Dan’s online publication has the longest history. Like a strong branch within a deeply rooted banyan tree, Nhan Dan Online possesses all the strengths for development and has truly made breakthroughs in the past five years.

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Editor-in-Chief Le Quoc Minh shared reflections on the comprehensive renewal of the newspaper’s journalistic products during the past term, emphasising that innovation is not about creating superficial differences but about improving content quality, increasing appeal and reinforcing the persuasiveness of the Party newspaper.

Even the most accurate and well-targeted resolutions may remain merely on paper if they are not implemented with determination and vigour. President Ho Chi Minh once said: “If a plan accounts for ten parts, then specific measures must account for twenty parts, and close supervision in implementation must account for thirty parts.” This is the fastest path to bringing the resolutions of Party congresses at all levels, as well as the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, into real life.

Amid mountain peaks shrouded in cloud all year round, a quiet yet powerful revolution is taking place. Hands once accustomed only to holding hoes and sowing maize now glide across smartphone screens.

During this period, particularly in the term of the 15th National Assembly, the National Assembly’s legislative work underwent profound reforms.

Technology experts assert that 2026 marks a historic turning point, when smart glasses will no longer be a luxury tech toy but will gradually become an essential device, threatening the long-standing dominance of the smartphone. The explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), coupled with major advances in AR lens technology, has transformed slim-framed glasses into “supercomputers” worn on the face.

Resolution No. 80-NQ/TW of the Politburo on the development of Vietnamese culture is being hailed by experts and the artistic community as a “blueprint” of historic significance. This latest aspiration to revitalise culture has been translated into a system of clear and stringent quantitative targets. It marks an important milestone, signalling a fundamental shift towards an action-oriented mindset and strategic investment for sustainable development.

Resolution No. 59-NQ/TW is a breakthrough policy, marking a historic turning point in the country’s process of international integration. It identifies integration as a strategic driving force enabling Viet Nam to enter a new era with confidence.
