At the meetings of the Nhan Dan newspaper delegation, the PCP leaders informed them on the positive changes of the party in the recent past, which was strengthened both in terms of politics and economic, as well as its role in the political life in Portugal. People from all walks of life, including many young people, continue to give strong support to the PCP in order to realise the goal of improving the living conditions and protection of the interests of Portuguese workers.

This was the second time that Nhan Dan Newspaper had organised a Vietnamese booth at the Avante Press Festival. The PCP leaders highly appreciated the decision of the Communist Party of Vietnam, which entrusted Nhan Dan Newspaper to participate in traditional activities at the festival. The presence of the Vietnam booth was an important highlight at the festival, demonstrating its support for and solidarity with the PCP, while sharing information and development experiences. The PCP leaders emphasised that it was a concrete manifestation of the time-honoured and fine friendship between the two parties and peoples, helping the Portuguese people and international friends to understand more about Vietnam.

On behalf of the Vietnamese delegation, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Le Quoc Khanh expressed his delight to witness the increasing position and strong development of the PCP in the socio-political life in Portugal. Briefing the hosts on Vietnam's current situation, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Le Quoc Khanh emphasised that, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnam has continued to obtain remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration, whilst the country's position in the international arena has continued to be enhanced. The work of Party and political system building has been focused and has observed important results.

From the opening day of the festival, the Vietnamese booth has attracted many visitors who came to learn about the country and people of Vietnam through photos, materials, newspapers, books and publications. Many people shared the joy at the positive changes of Vietnam over the past 30 years of the renewal process. Numerous overseas Vietnamese and Portuguese friends enthusiastically participated in the organisation and activities of the booth.

During the festival, the delegation of Nhan Dan Newspaper also took part and delivered a speech at a seminar on Karl Marx, as well as holding many exchanges with international delegations attending the festival.
