Speaking at a meeting with the media on January 9 in Hanoi , Deputy PM Minh noted that in 2014 the country will strengthen the process of international integration.
Looking back on the sector’s performance in 2013, he praised journalists for reporting on activities in a timely manner, thus helping to realise the foreign policies of the Party and State.
The media also successfully informed the public about new developments around the world and the official reactions of Vietnam, he said.

The image of a positive and responsible nation has been recognised and valued widely among the international community, he said, adding that last year also saw impressive performances from the country’s leaders at international forums.
Achievements in external relations have made important contributions to the protection of a peaceful and stable environment, preserving the country’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, he claimed.
