A national conference reviewing foreign information work, including publicising information on sea, islands and land border demarcation in 2010, and defining orientations and tasks for 2011 was held in Ho Chi Minh City on March 3.
Attending the event were Dinh The Huynh, Politburo member, Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC), Head of the CPVCC’s Commission for Popularisation and Education, and Deputy Prime Minister-cum- Foreign Minister Pham Gia Khiem.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the two-day conference, Nguyen Bac Son, Deputy Head of the CPVCC Commission for Popularisation and Education, stated that in 2010, the work was excellently carried out, promoting the country’s image and refuting incorrect information and disputes, helping the Party and State with its key tasks in external relations.
Dissemination of information on sea and islands has been stepped up in both content and method and as well as being implemented widely and systematically amongst cadres, Party members and people, he said.
The work has helped improve the efficiency and created changes in awareness of all branches, sectors and strata of people of the role, position and importance of the sea and islands strategy for the cause of national construction and defence during integration and development, he noted.
According to the conference, over the past time, the foreign news service and dissemination of information on sea, islands, border demarcation and landmark planting have produced several important results, making an active contribution to disseminating the Party’s policies, the State’s laws and the country’s renewal achievements as well as promoting the image of Vietnam and its people.
The work has helped to reject incorrect and distorted information by hostile forces, thus helping raise Vietnam ’s prestige and position in the international arena and increase support from the international community and overseas Vietnamese.
The participants also mentioned several shortcoming in this work and discussed better ways of implementing tasks in 2011 and in the future, including improving public awareness of the importance of the work, strengthening the quantity and quality of foreign news services as well as speeding up dissemination of the country’s policies on building a border of peace, friendship and long-term stability between Vietnam and its neighbours./.
