According to the Prime Minister, contributing to those achievements is a very important role of political, ideological and foreign affairs work in general and foreign information in particular.
The work of foreign information has made impressive progress; information is increasingly fast, comprehensive, and unique, serving as a bridge for the international community to clearly and correctly understand the guidelines, policies, and strategies of the Party and State. At the same time, countries and people around the world share and support Vietnam's viewpoints on international issues; promote the image of the country, its people, its history, its culture, and its development achievements.
On the other hand, foreign information has been a bridge to convey international issues to all classes of people; contributing to arousing patriotism, national pride and aspirations; connecting Vietnam with the international community; at the same time contributing to mobilizing resources to build and develop the country; fighting and refuting false and distorted information and viewpoints of opportunistic and hostile forces.
