Hanoi (VNA) - ꦐWinners of the contest “Learning about the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” will be honoured at a ceremony in Hanoi on November 9 night.
Launched on April 30, the contest attracted nearly 4.9 million entries, including 378 by overseas Vietnamese from 30 countries and territories worldwide.
The contest’s queries focus on the history of Vietnam’s Constitution as well as human and citizen rights, the State’s power, relations between citizens and the State and elective deputies, as well as the national great unity regardless of social background, religion, gender, age and residence.
Through the entries, Vietnamese officials, soldiers and people showed their deep confidence in the 2013 Constitution, especially the path towards socialism and the cause of national defence chosen by the Party and President Ho Chi Minh.
Many affirmed the indispensible leadership of the Party, and the role and position of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its member organisations, and people’s armed forces for national construction and defence.
The contest shows that public awareness of the legal document and the country’s other important issues has improved significantly.
The organising board decided to present 193 awards valued at 1.1 billion VND (nearly 50,000 USD) to 18 outstanding units and 175 individuals.
The Constitution, which was revised on the basis of the 1992 version, was adopted at the sixth session of the 13th National Assembly on November 28, 2013 with nearly 98 percent of votes.
The new Constitution came into force on January 1, 2014. It has 11 chapters with 120 articles (one chapter and 27 articles fewer than the previous version).-VNA
The amended Constitution, recently approved by the National Assembly, strongly affirms the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) towards the State and society.
Vice Chairperson of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan has viewed the 2013 Constitution’s regulations on the economic, cultural, educational, scientific and technological and environmental spheres as new steps helping fuel the nation’s path towards comprehensive renewal, intensive and extensive international integration and sustainable development.
Ngan, who is also a Politburo member, has made clear these regulations of the Constitution, which was revised on the basis of the 1992 document and adopted at the sixth session of the 13th National Assembly.
Vietnam’s viewpoint on the recognition, respect, protection and guarantee of human rights as well as the fundamental rights and obligations of citizens has been firmly clarified in the amended Constitution, which was passed by almost all of legislators in November last year and was enforced on the first day of 2014.
The National Assembly and the Government plan to issue and supplement 28 laws to concretise and implement the 2013 Constitution’s stipulations on human rights and citizen rights, according to Minister of Justice Ha Hung Cuong.
The programmes have brought about positive changes to rural infrastructure, comprehensively improved the material and spiritual lives of farmers, and contributed to Vietnam's economic restructuring, said PM Pham Minh Chinh.
The festival highlighted the contributions and robust development of Vietnam's revolutionary press over the past century while promoting press products and showcasing the creativity of Vietnamese journalists.
The programme on sustainable poverty reduction has achieved its annual targets for reducing the poverty rate as assigned by the National Assembly and the Government. It has fulfilled five specific objectives and five five-year goals, and met nine out of 12 indicators related to addressing basic social service shortages.
UNICEF stands ready to support the Government in implementing this important law and in continuing to invest in teachers as the cornerstone of a resilient, inclusive, and high-quality education system for all children.
PM Pham Minh Chinh highlighted how Vietnam's revolutionary press has continuously evolved and strengthened over the past century, affirming its role as a sharp and vital political, cultural, and ideological weapon serving the Fatherland and the people in the glorious revolutionary cause of the Party.
Vietnamese Consul General in Fukuoka Vu Chi Mai highlighted the growing demand for Vietnamese workers in Kyushu, especially in Fukuoka, Oita, and Saga prefectures. Currently, the region employs about 35,000 Vietnamese manual workers and over 5,000 IT engineers.
In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.
In recent interviews granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s reporters in Mexico, prominent figures reflected on the press’s legacy and its global influence.
VietnamPlus e-newspaper of the VNA clinched an A prize in the “Outstanding Press Product” category for its immersive 3D multimedia project, “Epic of Reunification,” a groundbreaking blend of storytelling and technology. The VNA won another A prize for its eye-catching exhibition booth.
Today, the press for foreign service has evolved into a distinct, irreplaceable force, bridging Vietnam with the world and portraying a nation that is stable, peace-loving, and fully integrated into the international community.
At a review conference held on June 21, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh praised the province’s scientific, coordinated, and flexible approach. He noted that the early completion reflects the strong commitment of local authorities, the business community, philanthropists, and residents in improving housing conditions for disadvantaged groups.
The VNA delegation, led by General Director Vu Viet Trang, actively participated in the event, engaging in both professional and diplomatic activities.
In the context where AI dominates and produces vast volumes of content, the only sustainable path forward for journalism is to focus on high-quality content and core values. Journalism must redefine its mission - not to report the fastest, but to provide the most profound and trustworthy value.
Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.
Vietnam and Cambodia are hoped to strengthen their robust collaboration across various sectors, particularly in resolving remaining border issues to transform the border area into a zone of peace, friendship, cooperation, and development.
The strategic product, managed and operated by the Vietnam News Agency Digital Media Centre (VNA Media), is an official channel for popularising the Party and State’s information and documents as well as delivering mainstream and trustworthy news to both domestic and international audiences through various kinds of multimedia formats.
Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people. During the resistance war against the colonialists, journalists took great personal risks to inspire patriotism and the will of rising up against foreign invaders.
The total investment exceeded 319 billion VND (12.2 million USD), including over 261 billion VND from the state budget and 57.5 billion VND mobilised from businesses, organisations, and individuals.
