There were 255 district-level units in 58 provinces and cities that were recognized by the Prime Minister as having completed their tasks/met the NTM standards (accounting for about 39.6% of the total number of district-level units nationwide).

In addition, 18 provinces and centrally-run cities have 100% of their communes meeting NTM standards; 5 provinces (Nam Dinh, Dong Nai, Ha Nam, Hung Yen and Hai Duong) have been recognized by the Prime Minister as having completed the task of building NTM.

Representatives of leaders of some Party newspapers in the Southern, Central and Central Highlands regions attended the workshop.

The development of rural areas and agriculture nationwide, especially in the Northern region after more than 12 years of implementing the program, is the result of the efforts in leadership, direction and management of Party committees and authorities from the provincial to the grassroots levels; demonstrating the solidarity, unanimity, consensus and determination of the entire political system and all classes of people. In particular, the important role of press agencies in general and local Party press agencies in particular.

On the journey of building the new rural areas, the Party press agencies have played a good role in pioneering the implementation of the Party's guidelines, the State's and local policies on the new rural construction program into life, promoting effectiveness and efficiency. At the same time, they have strongly encouraged all levels, sectors, mass organizations, business communities and the people to join hands and unite in building the new rural areas.

However, the results of the new rural development program are still uneven, and some criteria are difficult to maintain. Among the many reasons leading to this situation, there are some reasons that stem from the content and communication methods of press agencies in general, and local Party newspapers in particular, which are still inadequate and need to be innovated more strongly to better meet the situation and the needs of readers.

In their speeches at the workshop, delegates from local Party press agencies analyzed in depth the leadership, direction, and implementation of solutions and methods to improve the quality of propaganda for building new rural areas and advanced new rural areas.

Editor-in-Chief of Nam Dinh Newspaper Hoang Thi Hoai Phuong presented a paper "Nam Dinh Newspaper with the task of propagating the construction of advanced new-style rural communes and model new-style rural communes associated with ensuring security and order".

In particular, focusing on disseminating the following contents: praising advanced examples, good models that need to be replicated; experience in mobilizing resources among the people; economic restructuring, increasing people's income; solutions to protect the environment, building bright - green - clean - beautiful villages, communes, residential groups; smart new rural areas...

Delegates also proposed many solutions to improve the quality of propaganda for building advanced new-style rural communes and model cultural villages.

Speaking at the workshop, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department Tran Thanh Lam highly appreciated the role of the Party newspaper system in the process of propagating the construction of advanced new-style rural communes and model cultural villages.

Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department Tran Thanh Lam spoke at the workshop.

The Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department emphasized that, with profound articles and wide influence, in recent years, local Party newspapers have promptly conveyed the Party's guidelines and State's policies into life, strongly encouraging the spirit of building new rural areas among the people.

In the coming time, press agencies will continue to promote propaganda to bring the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and resolutions of Party congresses at all levels into life; create confidence, new momentum and motivation to seriously and effectively implement directives, resolutions, conclusions and regulations of the Central Executive Committee, Politburo, Secretariat, especially Resolution 5 of the 13th Central Committee on agriculture, farmers and rural areas to 2030, with a vision to 2045; Resolution No. 25 of the 15th National Assembly on approving the investment policy of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction for the 2021-2025 period; Decision No. 318/QD-TTg dated March 8, 2022 of the Prime Minister on promulgating the National Criteria Set for New Rural Communes and the National Criteria Set for Advanced New Rural Communes for the 2021-2025 period and the Politburo's resolutions on the development of economic regions to 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Proactively and actively innovate the content and form of propaganda, apply new and modern communication methods, and keep up with the digital transformation trend. Develop a modern communication plan on new rural areas to reach readers. Propaganda needs to be vivid, with evidence of actual data...

In addition, there needs to be close coordination and connection between Party press agencies in the region to develop and deploy major articles with guiding orientations on new rural construction; the difficulties and limitations of one locality can be lessons for other localities...

Local Party newspapers must identify that propaganda for new rural construction is a regular, long-term task and a political task of the newspaper, and a social responsibility of reporters towards agriculture, rural areas, and farmers.
