Mexico City (VNA)༺ – An event was held by the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico to hand over the second prize of Vietnam's 10th National External Information Service Awards to a Mexican author on April 3 in Mexico City.
Speaking at the event, the awardee Mouris Salloum George, President of the Club of Journalists, said that one of the core missions of Mexican media is to spread positive, humanitarian values.
He said Mexican journalists find these values when writing about Vietnam – a heroic nation, full of potential and thirst to rise.
He emphasised that information about Vietnam not only provides readers with an objective view of a strong Vietnam but also serves as a reference for understanding the successful socio-economic development of a small nation emerging from the ashes of war.
Thanking the Vietnamese Embassy in Mexico and his Vietnamese colleagues for providing him with objective information, George, who has produced dozens of reports about Vietnam, expressed his determination to continue writing about Vietnam to spread positive information about the country not only to readers in Mexico but also throughout Latin America.
He added that he hopes press agencies of Vietnam and Mexico will enhance cooperation and academic exchanges.
Hailing George's articles about Vietnam, Ambassador Nguyen Van Hai said his works have provided objective information about Vietnam to the people of Mexico, thereby contributing to the promotion of the traditional friendship between the two nations, especially during the 50th anniversary of their diplomatic relations (May 19, 1975 - 2025).
Referring to George’s winning work "Vietnam opens its arms of friendship to Latin American countries", the ambassador noted that it is very special as it vividly and engagingly reflects the historical milestones in the relationship between Vietnam and Latin American countries, as well as Vietnam's policy to strengthen cooperation with its traditional friends.
Hai affirmed that Vietnam's representative agencies in Mexico always play a role as a bridge to enhance cooperation between Vietnamese and Mexican media organisations, considering this an important task in further strengthening the increasingly good bilateral relationship./.

The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) have long been partners in external information, contributing to effectively realising the Party and State's foreign policies, VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang said on November 11 during a working session with heads of Vietnamese representative bodies abroad for the 2025-2028 term.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State place great importance on further strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a substantive and effective manner, in line with the development needs of both nations.
At the conference, participants reported that the Government has so far issued 28 decrees on the delegation of responsibilities and powers between the central Government and two-tier local administrations. Several localities have already piloted the new governance model.
Reality is the ultimate benchmark for success, he said, urging drafting agencies to work out policies that foster development, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and respect practical conditions.
Under the official dispatch signed on June 20, ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and chairpersons of provincial and municipal People’s Committees are requested to concentrate efforts on implementing core measures to ensure the smooth operations of the new administrative framework.
The Party chief underscored the need for the press to innovate relentlessly, evolve to keep pace with the country's development, transform into a truly professional, humanistic, and modern sector that serves the cause of the Party, the State, and the people on the path to national construction and development.
The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.
Nghia affirmed that this is a milestone of special significance, affirming and honouring the the Vietnamese revolutionary press’s glorious tradition of 100 years of serving the revolutionary cause of the Party, serving the Fatherland, and serving the people.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).
In particular, in April 2023, the two sides successfully carried out a joint operation that dismantled a major organised, transnational drug trafficking ring involving both Vietnamese and Cambodian suspects.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
