Hanoi (VNA) – The Nhan dan (People) newspaper, the official organ of the Party Central Committee, celebrated 65 years of its first issue (March 11, 1951) and was granted with the Ind𓆉ependence Order (first class) for its dedication, on March 9.
The ceremony took place in Hanoi in the presence of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
Politburo member and Standing member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Dinh The Huynh said since the first issue, Nhan dan has continually developed and strived to deserve the title “the Party’s political and ideological flag” in the field of press.
He asked the staff to be fully aware of the daily’s functions and tasks, timely and faithfully reflect the situation in Vietnam and the world, and publicise and encourage people from all strata to comply with the Party’s guidelines and the State’s policies and laws.
In 1951 amid the resistance war against France, the second National Party Congress in Kim Binh commune of northern Tuyen Quang province decided to publish the Nhan dan, replacing the Su That (Truth) newspaper.
The daily is currently a multimedia press agency. It has been presented with the Gold Star Order and the Ho Chi Minh Order – the two noblest orders, and the titles of Labour Hero and Hero of the People’s Armed Forces.-VNA

Vietnamese Consul General in Fukuoka Vu Chi Mai highlighted the growing demand for Vietnamese workers in Kyushu, especially in Fukuoka, Oita, and Saga prefectures. Currently, the region employs about 35,000 Vietnamese manual workers and over 5,000 IT engineers.
In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.

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.
