After nearly 27 years of implementing Directive No. 11, the Party's newspaper and magazine distribution activities have seen many positive changes. The use of funds for subscription of Party newspapers and magazines has been directed by many Party committees at all levels, basically ensuring that funds are used for the right purposes, limiting the use of funds for purchasing Party newspapers and magazines for other purposes; the provision and distribution of newspapers and magazines are mostly directed to the right beneficiaries.
However, the organization, dissemination and implementation of Directive 11 by some Party committees, Party organizations and authorities at all levels are not complete and regular; the purchase, reading and use of Party newspapers and magazines in some Party cells and Party committees have not been systematic and effective; the quality of Party newspapers and magazines has been improved but the presentation is still dry and unattractive, and at times, information is slow; there is a phenomenon of misuse of funds for purchasing Party newspapers and magazines; the distribution of newspapers and magazines to the grassroots level is sometimes slow.

Speaking at the conference, comrade Le Quoc Minh emphasized: In order to better perform the political tasks assigned by the Party and the State, and increasingly better meet the needs of readers, especially in the context of strong development of social media as at present, the Party's newspapers and magazines must continue to promote the requirement of innovating communication methods, effectively implementing the goal of "correct, accurate, timely, and attractive" propaganda. The Party's newspapers and magazines must constantly improve the quality of the team of journalists, innovate content and form, have a development strategy towards approaching modern technology; build a team of reporters and editors with strong political will, clear ethics, professional expertise, dynamism, creativity, and the ability to grasp and practice in the digital technology ecosystem.
To continue effectively implementing Conclusion Notice No. 173-TB/TW, it is necessary to focus on the following solutions: strengthening the leadership of Party committees at all levels and improving the effectiveness of state management of the purchase and reading of Party newspapers and magazines; enhancing innovation and improving the quality of Party newspapers and magazines in both content and form, creating attraction and appeal to readers; effectively using and promoting the types of Party documents and newspapers that are provided and ordered; further improving the quality of press distribution with the motto of harmoniously combining business and serving political tasks; strengthening direction and closely inspecting the allocation and use of funds for purchasing Party newspapers and magazines; ensuring that funds are used in accordance with principles and for the right purposes.
