He especially emphasized the role of orienting public opinion, improving the quality of criticism and maintaining professional ethics in the context of digital transformation and the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Accordingly, modern journalism not only needs to be quick and attractive, but also accurate, humane, truthfully reflecting social life and actively contributing to the cause of national development.

Speaking at the ceremony, General Secretary To Lam affirmed: Vietnam's revolutionary press was born from the nation's aspiration for independence and freedom. From Thanh Nien newspaper in 1925 to the present, the press has always been a sharp weapon on the ideological front, a bridge between the Party and the people, a voice reflecting the thoughts, aspirations and strength of the entire nation. The General Secretary emphasized that in the new revolutionary period, the press needs to continue to promote its steadfast political will, pure professional ethics and the ability to master technology. The press must be a pioneer in the fight against bad and toxic information, protect the Party's ideological foundation, and contribute to strengthening people's trust in the Party's leadership and the country's development path.

That is a clear testament to the enduring vitality and spirit of serving the people and the country of true journalists.
