The Politburo member also emphasised that the contest aimed to strengthen the force of writers with sharp pens to criticise wrongful and hostile views, forming a source of high-quality writings, which serve as communications work in further popularising the Party’s viewpoints and policies, especially through the documents of the 13th National Party Congress, and spreading the contents of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s book entitled “Some theoretical and practical issues on socialism and the path towards socialism in Vietnam”.
The contest organisers awarded prizes in two categories: Journal articles (printed and electronic journals) and newspapers (printed and electronic newspapers).
