In addition, the Organizing Committee of the Award selected and awarded Certificates of Merit from the Chief of the National Assembly Office to collectives with outstanding achievements, making important contributions to the success of the first Dien Hong Award - 2023.
The works selected for the Dien Hong Prize have been carefully invested, scientifically and of high quality, demonstrating both content and form, including works that are multi-part series, using modern propaganda forms.
The content of the works vividly reflects the theme of the Dien Hong Award; many works closely follow the process of improving and innovating the organization and operation of the National Assembly and People's Councils, closely follow the breath of life, reflect the thoughts and aspirations of voters and people, and propose suggestions to improve the quality and effectiveness of the activities of elected bodies.
The works have highlighted the position and role of the National Assembly and People's Councils, focusing on reflecting the activities of the National Assembly delegation, National Assembly deputies, and People's Council deputies, with strong influence on society and the public.
Speaking at the award ceremony, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that this is an important and meaningful event taking place during the 5th session of the 15th National Assembly, celebrating the 75th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's call for patriotic emulation (June 11, 1948 - June 11, 2023) and the 98th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2023).
The National Assembly Chairman said that one of the great sources of encouragement, contributing to enhancing the position, strength and prestige of the National Assembly and People's Councils over the past many years, is the comprehensive, persistent and creative contribution of the country's press.
"In its role as an important bridge, closely connecting elected bodies with the people and voters nationwide, the country's press is increasingly demonstrating its worthiness as a collective propagandist, collective cheerleader, collective organizer, and at the same time a channel of intellectual and responsible criticism towards the country," affirmed National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.
According to the head of the National Assembly, the country's press and media system has proactively and comprehensively propagated and promoted, contributing to the implementation of the Party's policies and guidelines institutionalized by the National Assembly and People's Councils through decisions and action movements nationwide.
The National Assembly Chairman emphasized: "The press has truthfully and vividly reflected the legitimate thoughts and aspirations of all sectors, all classes, voters, people nationwide and our compatriots abroad to the National Assembly and People's Council forums; at the same time, it is an important and reliable channel for voters to supervise elected bodies and elected representatives."
The National Assembly Chairman assessed that the works entered and awarded the Dien Hong Prize are the crystallization of the enthusiasm, sense of responsibility, love for the profession, faith, and sincere feelings of writers and photographers towards the people's representative agencies.
The works selected for the Dien Hong Prize are carefully invested, scientific, of high quality, demonstrating both diversity in style and modernity in journalism. Among them, there are works that are multi-part series, using modern propaganda forms.
From the success of the first Dien Hong Award, with the spirit of "Dien Hong", "thousands of people shouting together", the National Assembly Chairman hopes that the award will continue to receive great consensus and support, opening up new horizons of exploration, discovery and creativity for the press system, domestic and foreign writers writing about the Vietnamese National Assembly and the National Assembly.
