Tuyen Quang (VNA) – The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) has completed the restoration of its relic site in Tan Trao commune in the northern mountainous province of Tuyen Quang, where the agency headquartered between 1952 and 1954 during the resistance war against the French colonialists.
The inauguration ceremony was held on August 22 as part of the activities to celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2) and the 80th founding anniversary of the state-owned Vietnam News Agency (September 15).
At the event, VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang recalled the agency’s noble tradition during those years. It was there, on March 4, 1952, that President Ho Chi Minh visited the VNA staff, giving them heartfelt guidance. In the summer of 1954, as news of the Dien Bien Phu campaign was relayed, President Ho Chi Minh sent a message through a liaison officer, in which he stated that "the faster the news is delivered, the sooner the resistance war wins". These words became a guiding principle for generations of VNA journalists, Trang said.

Throughout 80 years of accompanying the nation, the VNA has been honoured with the hero title for three times, along with numerous prestigious awards. During the resistance wars, its reporters and technicians worked across all battlefields, overcoming countless hardships to excellently fulfill the missions entrusted by the Party and State.
As the country is entering a new era - the era of the nation’s rise, the General Director expressed her confidence that the VNA staff and employees remain united, creative, and committed to fulfilling major communications tasks ahead.
The VNA office was relocated to Hoang Lau village in late February1952 under the code name T6, serving as a resistance hub and providing essential information for President Ho Chi Minh, the Party Central Committee and the Government in planning strategies, as well as for communications during the Dien Bien Phu campaign.
✱ In 2001, it was recognised as a national relic site, and in 2012 it was upgraded to a special national relic. However, the site structures suffered damage and deterioration over time, prompting the agency’s leaders to launch the restoration project as a highlight to welcome the VNA’s 80th founding anniversary./.
