Hanoi (VNA) - The exhibition on national achievements, held at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Hanoi’s Dong Anh commune, attracted approximately 6.5 million visitors since its opening on August 28, according to the event's organising committee.
The exhibition attendance peaked on September 1, at approximately 1.05 million visitors, followed by 900,000 on September 2 and 1 million on September 7. These remarkable figures reflect strong public interest in the milestone event.
To enhance the visitor experience, the organising committee coordinated with relevant units to host cultural and art performances and offer free film screenings at designated venues within Pavilion A of the exhibition complex.
Additional support measures have been implemented to ensure smooth operations and visitor safety, including the deployment of on-site personnel to guide traffic, direct guests to exhibition zones, performance areas, and dining services. Twelve information booths have been set up both indoors and outdoors, along with the distribution of free visitor guides to assist navigation and prevent confusion.
To meet public demand and create more opportunities for citizens to explore and experience activities at the event, the Prime Minister has issued an official dispatch extending the exhibition until September 15.
The event offers visitors a vivid “miniature journey” through Vietnam’s diverse regions. Inside halls H5, H6, and H7, every booth is a dazzling deep dive into a locality’s culture, history, and economic potential.
Six themed display zones offer the public a vivid look at the nation’s arduous yet glorious historical journey of development over the past eight decades.
The Vietnam News Agency, with its network of 30 overseas bureaus located in most key regions around the world, serves as an important link connecting overseas Vietnamese with their homeland.
The latest initiatives followed this year’s National Day (September 2) celebrations, which saw nine significant projects in the city completed or inaugurated.
The Cambodian journalist said he prefers citing the VNA because of its role as Vietnam’s national news agency, entrusted for decades with delivering official information on the Vietnamese Party, State, and Government’s policies, guidelines and laws during wartime or peacetime.
The VNA provides multimedia news in many languages, and its reports on Vietnam are widely used and have certain influence in the world, according to a Chinese journalist.
The official praised the VNA’s content quality, presentation methods, as well as timely and diverse coverage, particularly major political and diplomatic events between the two countries.
Students are covered by the health insurance fund for 100% of the cost of inpatient examinations and treatment at primary health facilities nationwide.
The official likened the VNA to Vietnam’s unofficial embassy, stressing that this is very important, as in its role, the agency can deliver information from all corners, engage in exchanges, and access diverse sources of information.
Ling, who is also a former chief representative of China's Xinhua News Agency in Hanoi, affirmed that the VNA has played a vital role in guiding public opinion and significantly contributed to Vietnam’s achievements in nearly 40 years of the “Doi moi” (renewal) process.
Farmers across Quang Ninh province are stepping up efforts to protect the environment, with the chapters of the provincial Farmers' Union adopting creative and practical initiatives that have raised awareness and responsibility among members.
Sokmom Nimul, Director General of Cambodia's national news agency AKP, emphasised that the VNA has always played a significant role in Vietnam’s press system. Since its establishment on September 15, 1945, the agency has served as the official voice of the Party and State, disseminating policies, statements, decisions, and viewpoints to all sectors of Vietnamese society.
Vietnamese is also taught at prestigious schools in Laos like the Champasak-Lam Dong High School for the Gifted (Phonesavanh School) and the Champasak Ethnic Boarding School.
The partnership demonstrates the shared commitment to using technology to improve the welfare for Vietnamese children, ensuring they remain at the centre of every effort.
Emulation movements launched across the Vietnam News Agency have spread to every unit and employee, creating momentum for all to contribute to the shared mission of building the VNA as a trusted strategic information centre of the Party and State.
Delegates affirmed their commitment to upholding the ideals of President Ho Chi Minh, drawing strength from his teachings to overcome difficulties, foster unity, and mobilise resources for national development.
As VNA marks its 80th anniversary, reflecting on these streets strengthens current generations’ pride and gratitude for those who sacrificed for the agency — honoured three times as Hero of the Armed Forces and Hero of Labour in the Doi Moi era for their monumental contributions and dedication to national liberation and revolutionary journalism.
Kyodo News President Toshimitsu Sawai emphasised that the VNA’s coverage is regarded as the most authoritative source on Vietnam. He highlighted its adaptability in an evolving media landscape, especially its application of AI and other state-of-the art technologies in the editorial work.
Quang Ninh province has zoned more than 45,000 hectares of marine space for aquaculture, aiming to promote hi-tech sea farming to gradually replace small-scale operations.
Over the past 80 years, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) has been growing continuously and affirmed its role as the national news agency. Beyond being a leader in the domestic media network, the VNA has also become a respected international news agency, earning global recognition through its extensive partnerships, award-winning works, and steadfast presence in the world’s hotspots.
The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) is among the pioneering news agencies in the Asia-Pacific region in digital transformation and innovation, particularly in the application of artificial intelligence (AI), according to Hwang Dae-il, President of the Republic of Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.
Over the years, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) and Prensa Latina (PL) have worked closely to inform the world about developments in Vietnam and Cuba, as well as their joint efforts for growth. In difficult times, PL supported the VNA without hesitation, and today the VNA is extending the same solidarity to help PL advance.
