Next, the delegation visited the historical site of the Vietnam Journalists Association's founding in Roong Khoa village, Diem Mac commune, Dinh Hoa district. Right on this land, 75 years ago, in the context of the resistance war against French colonialism entering a fierce phase, revolutionary journalists gathered and united under the common roof of the Vietnam Journalists Association.

The establishment of the Association not only marked the organizational maturity of the press but also affirmed the increasingly important role and responsibility of the press in the cause of national liberation and nation building.
