Throughout its 80-year history, the VNA has remained at the forefront of information dissemination. It has consistently delivered timely, accurate, and objective reports on both domestic and international events, serving the Party’s leadership, the State’s management, and the public’s demand for official news.
The Government has sketched out a plan to restructure its media organisations in a strategic move to optimise its operation, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra.
Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh on October 26 signed a Government decree regulating the functions, tasks, power, and organisational structure of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA).
Facing the ongoing strong growth of digital communications and fierce competition among various forms of media, as well as changes in the public’s approach to information, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) has promoted innovation and creativity to adapt to the new situation and reach more readers, maintaining the core role of the national news agency, according to VNA Director-General Vu Viet Trang.
On September 15, 1945, the Vietnam News Agency (known as VNA) aired the full text of the Declaration of Independence, telling the world that Vietnam had become an independent nation. That day also marked the birth of the country’s only national news agency.
