This is an important event in the strategy of innovating policy communication work, improving the effectiveness of information coordination between the city government, the press and the public.

The opening ceremony of the Hanoi Capital Press Center aims to put into operation a modern, multi-functional press institution, meeting communication requirements in the digital age; enhancing publicity and transparency in the provision of information by the city government to the press, people and businesses.

At the same time, establish a focal point for coordinating, processing and responding to information in a timely, accurate, proactive and effective manner; strengthen social trust, orient public opinion, contribute to building a healthy media environment and promote the socio -economic development of the capital.

The Hanoi Capital Press Center is the focal point for providing, coordinating and processing press information in the city. The center's functions are: Receiving, synthesizing and providing official information from departments, branches, sectors and localities; supporting the press in accessing news sources quickly, fully and promptly.

The Capital Press Center aims to integrate modern technological solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI) in trend monitoring, information analysis on cyberspace, fake news warning system, big data analysis tools to assess the spread of media topics. This is the first step in building an open, smart, user-friendly and press-friendly media ecosystem.

Within the framework of the opening ceremony, the Hanoi People's Committee will announce the Regulations on management, operation, exploitation and use of the Hanoi Capital Press Center, establishing a legal framework for organizing, coordinating and implementing activities at the Center.

The Regulations clearly stipulate the responsibilities of the City People's Committee Office in operating the Center; the coordination mechanism between the Center and departments, branches, and localities in providing, sharing, and processing information; and at the same time, establish a process for receiving feedback from the press and promptly handling it according to decentralization. This is the basis for ensuring that all information provided to the public is accurate, responsible, and in accordance with legal regulations.

An important highlight of the event was the signing of a cooperation program between the Hanoi People's Committee Office and the Government Electronic Information Portal to establish a mechanism for data connection and communication and enhance two-way information exchange, supporting the press to access official news sources more quickly and conveniently.

The Hanoi Center for Communications, Data and Digital Technology and the capital's press agencies also signed a cooperation agreement to establish a press cooperation network, jointly exploit digital platforms, share information, and promptly respond to emerging social issues.

The joint work programs demonstrate the spirit of companionship and responsibility between state management agencies and the press, while creating a legal and technical foundation for effectively implementing policy communication content, refuting misinformation and building a healthy media environment.

The opening ceremony of the Capital Press Center is the first step in the process of building a modern public media ecosystem in Hanoi - in which technology is the pillar, the press is the center, and the people are the objects of service.

This is also one of the efforts to concretize the policy of "taking people as the center" in urban governance, while affirming the role of the press as a strategic partner of the government in strengthening social consensus, promoting transparency and sustainable development.
