Nhan Dan Newspaper attends Humanitarian Journalism Conference in France

Within the framework of the 90th Humanitarian Newspaper Festival (Fête de l'Humanité) taking place from September 12-14 in the city of Le Plessis-Pâté in the Essonne province on the southern outskirts of the French capital, on September 13, Nhan Dan Newspaper coordinated with the organizing committee to introduce an exhibition booth introducing the country and people of Vietnam.

In his opening speech, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper Que Dinh Nguyen said that in the face of the enormous challenges the world is facing, communists and progressive forces around the world need to continue to uphold the spirit of solidarity and demonstrate a greater role in contributing to building a sustainable peace because the value of peace is a common, universal value and needs to be fought for and preserved by all peoples.

The Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper expressed his belief that the sincere and frank exchanges at this year's Press Conference will certainly contribute to raising awareness of regional and international current issues, while building appropriate orientations and measures for the struggle for peace, democracy and social progress.

In addition, Mr. Que Dinh Nguyen also believes that the traditional friendship and solidarity in the struggle between the Vietnamese people and the French people - the core of which is the affection between communists - will be increasingly strengthened and developed, becoming a shining symbol of international solidarity.

Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang affirmed that Vietnam's presence at the annual Humanitarian Press Festival always has a special significance. This is an opportunity to affirm and foster solidarity between the people and communists of Vietnam and France. This is also a forum to introduce the country and people of Vietnam, the great achievements of the Doi Moi process, as well as the friendship and cooperation that the Party and people of Vietnam always wish to foster with peace-loving and progressive parties and peoples in the world .

The Ambassador stressed that the Party and State of Vietnam always attach importance to the comprehensive strategic partnership with France, and will never forget the valuable support of the Communist Party and progressive forces of France for the past struggle for independence and unification, as well as for the development and bilateral cooperation today.

According to the Ambassador, the relationship between the two countries continues to develop well, demonstrated through visits, delegation exchanges, theoretical seminars, experience sharing and coordination at multilateral forums. The annual exhibition booth of Nhan Dan Newspaper at the Humanitarian Newspaper Festival is a testament to the common determination to further strengthen this relationship in the coming time.

For his part, Taylan Coskun, Head of the Central Committee for External Relations of the French Communist Party (PCF), affirmed that the annual presence of the Nhan Dan newspaper booth at the "World Village" within the framework of the Humanitarian Festival has always been an important milestone. But in 2025, this event has a special significance, in the context of Vietnam celebrating the 50th anniversary of national reunification and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the nation - an event that PCF National Secretary Fabien Roussel assessed in a congratulatory telegram as "of special significance to all of us. It not only symbolizes the struggle and sacrifices of the Vietnamese people, but also reflects the common aspirations of oppressed peoples around the world."

Mr. Taylan Coskun said that the above-mentioned important events further affirmed the depth of friendship and solidarity between the two Parties and the two peoples of France and Vietnam, and at the same time assessed that the career of President Ho Chi Minh will always be a source of inspiration of global value. He lit the path to fight for freedom, independence and national dignity.

Finally, he acknowledged the great achievements of the Vietnamese people, after overcoming countless challenges, to build a strongly developed country, playing an increasingly important role in the international arena.

The Humanité Press Festival is one of the largest political and cultural events in France, organized by L'Humanité newspaper and PCF, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

After nearly a century of formation and development, Fête de l'Humanité is not only a gathering place for communists, leftists and the French workers' movement, but also a gathering place for progressive friends from all five continents to share the aspiration for peace, justice and solidarity.

The familiar highlight of this year's event is the series of large-scale concerts with dozens of famous French and international artists and bands performing on many stages. In addition, there are hundreds of cultural and political booths of international organizations, parties, associations and friends. This is also the place where many seminars, talks, exhibitions, displays of books, newspapers and images take place, contributing to introducing social movements, solidarity activities as well as promoting the image of the country and people of the participating ethnic groups.

This year's Nhan Dan newspaper exhibition booth introduces the brilliant milestones of Vietnam, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the great President Ho Chi Minh in the journey of fighting for independence, freedom, national unification, development and international integration.

Along with that, special publications of Nhan Dan newspaper celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day, performances by Vietnamese artists, handicraft products and dishes with authentic Vietnamese flavors are also "magnets" attracting many international guests and friends to visit and learn./.
