General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong chairs press conference to announce results of the 13th National Party Congress
In the 94-year history of Vietnam's revolutionary press, senior leaders of our Party have all participated in press activities, using press media to serve the revolution and the people.
The most prominent of these are two journalists - the supreme leaders of the Party: Nguyen Ai Quoc, also known as President Ho Chi Minh, who gave birth to our country's revolutionary journalism 99 years ago - in 1925 with the Thanh Nien newspaper, the organ of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association, the predecessor of the Communist Party of Vietnam , and journalist Nguyen Phu Trong, the Party's General Secretary, who used to work as a journalist and headed the Party's pioneering political and ideological theory organ - the Communist Magazine for nearly three decades.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has passed away, and people of all walks of life, including Vietnamese journalists and myself, a reporter for a local Party newspaper, have expressed our deepest condolences for the great loss of our Party, State and people.
In recent days, there have been countless articles published in the media and newspapers about the life and career of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. Among them are many articles about his journalism career, memories of working with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, as well as the special feelings of the Journalist - General Secretary towards revolutionary journalism throughout the past time.
For me, a local Party newspaper reporter was fortunate to attend a very special and certainly very rare press conference; I felt extremely honored and proud to directly participate in the press conference right after the end of the 13th National Party Congress on the morning of February 1, 2021, chaired by General Secretary - journalist Nguyen Phu Trong himself.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong speaks at the 13th National Party Congress.
Together with more than 500 domestic and international reporters, local newspaper and radio reporters working at the 13th National Congress of the Party, everyone felt very happy and comforted, gaining more confidence and strength for their work in the present and in the future.
For more than three and a half years, I still remember the morning of February 1, 2021, after the closing session of the 13th National Congress of the Party. Although it was announced in advance that the General Secretary would personally chair a press conference to announce the results of the Congress, the reporters were still very excited and surprised.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, despite being busy with work after the Congress, still attended and chaired the press conference. As soon as he entered the press conference room, the General Secretary smiled kindly and warmly to greet, shake hands, ask questions, and encourage reporters. Everyone immediately felt the warmth and friendliness during more than 10 days of working at the Congress when the Covid-19 pandemic was still very complicated.
Opening the press conference, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong shared humbly: "Fortunately, I have been working in journalism for nearly 30 years, starting as an intern, then doing documentation work before writing articles and taking on the position of Editor-in-Chief (Communist Magazine). But for that reason, I "tried" to get acquainted, to know the thinking, methods, and working style of journalists" and also to know the concerns and thoughts of journalists to have a good and timely journalistic work to serve the public.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong thanked domestic and international journalists for reporting quickly, accurately and promptly during the Congress and up to now, it can be affirmed that the 13th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam has been a great success, shortening the time by nearly two days compared to the plan. The General Secretary shared, "I have attended many Congresses, this Congress is a truly successful Congress in terms of content, form, organization, working style and the final result is that the Congress passed the Resolution".
The General Secretary also shared that, in addition to the success of the preparation of documents, personnel and election results, another point is that the organization of the Congress was very well organized, thoughtful and careful, from accommodation and transportation for delegates, to working methods, creating all conditions for delegates to attend the Congress; at the same time, ensuring absolute safety, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The General Secretary and President affirmed that the success of the 13th National Congress is not only about passing the Resolution or electing the Central Executive Committee, but more importantly, how to put the Resolution into practice and turn it into reality.
We must institutionalize and concretize it into a policy and direct it strongly from top to bottom: "How to create material wealth, make the country rich, the people strong, and make people's lives happier. Only then will we succeed."

And throughout the story, the General Secretary always mentioned and highly appreciated the press's work at the congress. The General Secretary gave an example of the Central Executive Committee's election, and the TV station and many newspapers immediately reported the news in a timely manner, meeting the people's expectations. The press also contributed to detecting and refuting incorrect, even malicious, information, contributing to the success of the Congress. The General Secretary emphasized: "I know that journalists sometimes know the news in advance better than us. Find this person and ask that person. That's what a journalist is!"
Once again affirming the great success of the 13th National Party Congress, no Congress has had such a large number of reporters, almost filling the hall, General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong said that reporters and journalists have made important contributions to the success of the Congress.
The General Secretary and President believes that after the Congress, the press will continue to "inspire" the Congress's spirit throughout the entire Party, army and people, creating strength and progress for the country to continue developing, standing shoulder to shoulder with other countries in the world, and affirming: "Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today."
Now our General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has passed away, but the memories and marks of his life and career will always be remembered, along with the entire Party, the entire people and the entire army, the Vietnamese revolutionary journalists, including me, an ordinary reporter of the local Party newspaper who was lucky and honored to meet him in person, will always be grateful and forever remember the historic press conference that was so intimate between the speaker and the reporters as colleagues.
Respectfully bow your heads and bid farewell to General Secretary - journalist Nguyen Phu Trong!
