In the context of a rapidly changing, complex, and multi-dimensional world, the revolutionary press has always maintained its role as a pioneering force in maintaining political stability, strengthening social consensus, firmly protecting national sovereignty, proactively fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints, and protecting the Party's ideological foundation. The press has responsibly participated and actively propagated the Party's policies and guidelines on digital transformation, sustainable development, environmental protection, preservation of national cultural identity, and comprehensive and extensive international integration; making outstanding contributions to the fight against corruption, waste, and negativity.
Directing the orientation of activities in the coming time, the General Secretary stated that the new era of the nation is opening up new development horizons, while also posing new revolutionary requirements with high determination and great aspirations to build a strong and prosperous country. In that context, the Vietnamese revolutionary press must further affirm its revolutionary mettle, its pioneering role on the ideological and cultural front, be an ideological pillar, a shock force in creating trust and consensus in society; contribute significantly to multiplying humanistic and progressive values, strongly spreading the spirit of innovation and creativity, inspiring learning, working and dedication. The press must constantly innovate itself to develop commensurate with the stature of the times, with the development of the country, truly becoming a professional, humane and modern press, serving the cause of the Party, State and People on the journey of building and developing the country.
Press agencies and journalists need to be deeply aware of their particularly noble political and social responsibilities to the Party, the State and the people. It is necessary to innovate the thinking of leadership, direction and management of the press in the direction of building and creating an operating environment for the press to best promote its revolutionary nature and mission of serving the country and the people. Key press agencies such as Nhan Dan Newspaper, Communist Magazine, Vietnam News Agency, Voice of Vietnam Radio, Vietnam Television, and a number of electronic information portals of central agencies need to focus on digital transformation, strengthen cooperation and integration, perform well the role of forecasting, perform well the function of information orientation, and deserve to be "lighthouses" for the country's revolutionary press system. Vietnamese journalists must truly be shock troops, possessing a strong political stance, a spirit of innovation, and a desire to contribute and devote themselves to the common cause of the nation. The press must become a force that builds trust, encourages development aspirations, and contributes to realizing the goal of building a strong, prosperous, and everlasting Vietnam in the era of national growth.
