In its 15 years of establishment and development during a glorious period of national history (October 1960 - May 1976), the “Thong tan xa giai phong” (Liberation News Agency) successfully completed its tasks and actively contributed to the history of the army and the people of South Vietnam in particular and the whole nation in general.
Throughout its 75-year history, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) has always been accompanying the nation and joining hands with the whole Party, people, and army, along the nine-year resistance war against the French as well as the 21-year battle against the US. It has always received the consideration and leadership of the Party and State.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on September 13 attended a ceremony to mark the 75th founding anniversary of Vietnam News Agency (September 15, 1945 - September 15, 2020) at its headquarters in Hanoi.
As the only news agency of the whole country, the state-run Vietnam News Agency is responsible for publishing official information and documents of the party and state, providing information in service of the party leadership and state management, while collecting and providing news via various forms to the mass media agencies, the public and readers of all kinds, both at home and abroad.
On September 15, 1945, the Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, along with a list of the members of the Provisional Revolutionary Government, was made known to the world by “Viet Nam Thong tan xa”, and this was also the founding moment of the news service now called “Thong tan xa Viet Nam” (Vietnam News Agency, or VNA).
The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) has established cooperative relations with more than 40 news agencies across the globe over the last 75 years, strengthening the country’s external relations and international integration, enhancing the news agency’s prestige on the global arena, and leaving a positive impression on foreign friends.
Under the leadership of the Party, the Liberation News Agency and Vietnam News Agency (VNA) have joined forces and closely coordinated to contribute to the victory of the US resistance war.
