Leaders of the Vietnam Journalists Association received congratulatory flowers from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The anniversary is not only an occasion to pay tribute to generations of journalists but also an affirmation of the mission of continuing to innovate, create, maintain professional ethics and political courage of the Vietnamese revolutionary press in the new period. This is an opportunity to look back on the glorious journey of the Vietnamese revolutionary press and honor the contributions of journalists through the ages.
