This is an important and very meaningful event to celebrate the 78th anniversary of the first General Election to elect the National Assembly of Vietnam (January 6, 1946 - January 6, 2024).

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue; former National Assembly Chairmen Nguyen Sinh Hung and Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan; and Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man - Head of the Dien Hong Award Steering Committee - attended the award ceremony.

Also attending were members of the Politburo, Secretaries of the Central Committee of the Party, leaders of the Government, the National Assembly, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, central and local departments, ministries and agencies…

Following the success of the first season, the second Dien Hong Award - 2024 attracted a large number of entries, with 2,679 works from 138 central and local press agencies.

The works have truthfully and profoundly reflected the innovations in the organization and operation of the National Assembly, and the pressing issues of life considered, discussed, and resolved in the parliamentary chamber. Conversely, the decisions of the National Assembly and People's Councils have resolved and addressed many urgent issues of the country and its people... thereby demonstrating the increasingly important role of the National Assembly in the political, economic, and social life of the country.

Speaking at the event, Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man praised the Steering Committee and the Organizing Committee of the Award for proactively implementing the process in a scientific, systematic, professional, and effective manner. He commended the Judging Panel, comprised of experienced, reputable, impartial, objective, and transparent members; and especially the authors of the 79 outstanding works carefully selected, including 7 A prizes, 14 B prizes, 20 C prizes, and 38 Consolation prizes, to be honored at the ceremony.

The Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized that, inheriting and building upon the glorious traditions of the 78-year history of the Vietnamese National Assembly, the 15th National Assembly has been and continues to strive for innovation, improving the quality of its operations and achieving many important and comprehensive results in legislative work, supreme supervision, and decision-making on important national issues. At the local level, the activities of People's Councils at all levels have become increasingly practical and effective.

2024 is a particularly important year in the implementation of the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party and the Resolution on the 5-year socio-economic development plan 2021-2025 of the National Assembly.

The Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly expressed his hope that press agencies and journalists would continue to uphold their sense of responsibility, dedication, and love for their profession, devoting their trust and affection to the people's representative bodies; proactively and comprehensively, promptly, and effectively disseminating information and promoting the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws and regulations into life; and making increasingly greater contributions to building a more effective and efficient National Assembly and People's Councils, worthy of the trust of voters and the people.

With the glorious tradition of Vietnamese revolutionary journalism, the team of journalists is increasingly mature in political acumen, professional ethics, expertise, and professionalism; we are confident that the National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels will continue to receive the active support of press agencies at the central and local levels.

Journalists will have new explorations, discoveries, and creative ideas to write about the National Assembly and People's Councils, continuing to affirm their role as a bridge between "the Party's will" and "the people's hearts," as a forum for all strata of the people to contribute their dedication and intellect to the cause of building and protecting the Fatherland; creating a positive ripple effect, encouraging the spirit of unity, aspirations, self-reliance, self-strength, and creativity among the people to build a prosperous and happy country - the Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized.
