This is one of the meaningful activities to celebrate the 49th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 / April 30, 2024) and the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954 / May 7, 2024).
Delegates attended the press conference to inform about the Closing Ceremony and Award Ceremony of the Third Writing Contest "Protecting the Party's Ideological Foundation in the New Situation".
Reporting on the results of the third Contest, Colonel Le Ngoc Long, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the People's Army Newspaper, said: Although this is a political contest, the content and presentation are not easy, but it still attracts great attention from press agencies. In particular, the Contest attracted the enthusiastic participation of leading scientists and theoretical researchers in the country with more than 40% of the works submitted to the contest. This is a great success of the Contest with articles containing very high knowledge content, carefully invested in research, demonstrating the serious work of each author.
This year's contest, the Organizing Committee received many works which are series of articles that not only thoroughly and deeply explain the core issues in the theoretical treasure system of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought; but also analyze and update many very current issues in social life related to the work of Party building and rectification in general, and protecting the ideological foundation of the Party in particular. Thus, it clearly demonstrates the viewpoint of theory attached to practice; using practice to prove the correctness and scientific nature of theory; overcoming the situation of empty theory, dogma or blind reflection of practice.
The quality of the works is relatively even among all three groups: Central Newspapers, Local Newspapers and Magazines. This is something that the Organizing Committee is very excited about, but it also creates a lot of pressure in the process of evaluating and deciding the quality of the works to award prizes. Therefore, among the award-winning works, there are many famous scientists and researchers who have not won high prizes. That shows that the competition in quality between the works is very high.
Major General Doan Xuan Bo, Editor-in-Chief of the People's Army Newspaper, spoke at the meeting.
