Hanoi (VNA) – A ceremony was h🧔eld by the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia on October 10 to receive donations from Cambodian organisations and individuals to support Vietnamese people severely i🦩mpacted by recent natural disasters.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Nguyen Huy Tang received a donation of 1,700 USD from Chea Sam Eng and Kim Neng, representatives of the Cambodians who studied in Vietnam in the early 1980s.
In their remarks, Chea Sam Eng and Kim Neng expressed their deep sympathy on the losses endured by Vietnamese people due to Typhoon Yagi and subsequent floods. They said their support is modest but symbolises the heartfelt solidarity between the two nations.
Both donors voiced their belief that the Vietnamese people will overcome these challenges and continue their path to prosperity.
Ambassador Tang expressed his sincere gratitude for the gesture, highlighting the strong friendship between Vietnam and Cambodia, which have stood by each other in times of adversity.
The embassy pledged to promptly deliver the donations to Vietnam to help those affected by the disasters in a timely manner.
In September, Typhoon Yagi caused severe damage across Vietnam’s northern region. To help address the aftermath, the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia launched a fundraising campaign, successfully raising over 40,000 USD from the Vietnamese community in the neighbouring country. This collective effort exemplifies the enduring spirit of solidarity among Vietnamese communities both at home and abroad./.
Vietnam always treasures the historical values in the relationship with Cambodia as well as the Vietnam – Laos – Cambodia ties, and will join hands with the two neighbouring countries to make the cooperation among the nations to a more substantive and effective fashion, meeting their practical requirements, Party General Secretary and State President To Lam said on October 5.
President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Do Van Chien on September 20 received support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, diplomatic missions, and foreign enterprises to people affected by recent Typhoon Yagi and its subsequent floods in some northern localities.
Demonstrating solidarity and sympathy with Vietnam over the damage caused by Typhoon Yagi, leaders from countries around the world have continued to send letters, telegrams and messages of condolences to Party General Secretary and State President To Lam, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man.

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.
The Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang is intensifying efforts to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing as part of the country’s goal of having the European Commission’s “yellow card” warning lifted.
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.
With strong support from local authorities, businesses, organisations, and residents, the province has successfully built or repaired 10,707 homes for disadvantaged households, including war veterans, families of martyrs, ethnic minority people, and low-income residents.
Throughout its resistance against colonialists and imperialists, Vietnam developed a revolutionary press that has served as a benchmark for just and legitimate causes worldwide.
Founded in 1842, the Vienna Philharmonic is regarded as a cultural ambassador of Austria, with prestigious conductors like Mahler and Karajan who shape its legacy. Its New Year’s Concert, broadcast to over 90 countries annually, stands as a global symbol of classical music excellence.
PM Chinh lauded the press’s historic role in the nation’s fight for independence and its ongoing process of national development, affirming that the Government always highly appreciates the close partnership and steadfast support of press agencies and journalists nationwide.
In recent decades, Vietnam’s mainstream media has become a reliable and persuasive channel for showcasing the nation’s development policies and achievements, especially in economic matters, according to a senior assistant editor at the Times of India.
A hub for sharing best practices, the event aims to forge solutions for financial sustainability, public media contracts, audience engagement, content innovation, and newsroom restructuring. It is also a moment for Vietnam’s media to accelerate its progress and figure out what the “revolutionary press” means in a new era.
From “Thanh nien”, Vietnam’s first revolutionary newspaper founded by Nguyen Ai Quoc (later President Ho Chi Minh) on June 21, 1925, the revolutionary press has remained devoted to its sacred missions -accompanying the nation, serving the Fatherland, and working for the people.
