The top legislator described the entries and the award-winning ones as results of journalists’ sense of responsibility, dedication to their job, and patriotism.

He held that the influence of the Party building-themed press works reflects the strong support from all-level Party committees and authorities, the entire political system, as well as all people for the revolutionary press of Vietnam.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, Hue called on people of all social strata to actively engage in the Party and political system building and rectification through concrete and practical actions.

He also asked press agencies to push forward with their performance in this regard, including protecting the Party’s ideological foundation, adamantly refuting wrongful and hostile viewpoints, and combating corruption, negative phenomena and wastefulness, for the sake of a clean and comprehensively strong Party.

At the event, 15 collectives with major contributions to the organisation of the Bua Liem Vang Awards 2022 also received commendation.
