Speaking at the opening of the conference, comrade Le Quoc Minh said that more than 99 years ago, on June 21, 1925, Thanh Nien newspaper, founded by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc, published its first issue, marking the birth of Vietnam's revolutionary press. The current Party newspaper system includes press agencies with a long history and tradition of the Central and local levels, which are the voice of the Party, the State and the forum of the masses; they are the most official, reliable and accurate channels of information and propaganda, with prestige both domestically and internationally.

In particular, since the Resolution No. 35-NQ/TU of the 12th Politburo on "Strengthening the protection of the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile views in the new situation" was issued, press agencies in the Party press system have participated very actively and effectively, in many diverse forms and creative ways.

However, in reality, there are many difficulties and challenges for Party press agencies in carrying out the task of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints. Especially, when our country integrates more and more deeply into the international community, along with the explosion of information on the Internet and social networks, it creates conditions for hostile forces and erroneous viewpoints to take advantage of cyberspace to communicate and sabotage the Party's ideological foundation.

According to Prof. Dr. Le Van Loi, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics: the task of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints in the new situation continues to face many difficulties and challenges due to the complicated developments in the regional and world situations. This is posing increasingly complex and heavy requirements and demands on agencies in the Party's press system in implementing Resolution No. 35-NQ/TU of the Politburo.
