Founded on September 15, 1945, amid the flames of war, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) has for eight decades carried the pulse of the nation — from broadcasting victory signals in wartime to pioneering digital transformation today. Nearly 260 journalists sacrificed their lives for the flow of news, a legacy that continues as VNA strides with the country into a new era under the Party’s leadership.
The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) is showcasing its 80-year journey at the national exhibition on achievements marking the 80th National Day, highlighting its contributions to the country’s revolutionary cause and its role as a leading press agency at home and abroad.
The National Achievements Exhibition opened on August 28 in Hanoi to mark the 80th National Day. The Vietnam News Agency (VNA) booth attracted large crowds with a display highlighting its 80-year journey as the national news source alongside proud milestones in the country’s history.
With only four days to go, the National Achievements Exhibition themed “80 years of Independence – Freedom – Happiness” will officially open. At the exhibition, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) will showcase a pavilion under the message “Official Source – Mainstream News”, highlighting its 80-year journey accompanying the nation. The display reflects major national milestones as well as key contributions of the national news agency.
The Thao Van Hoa (Sports and Culture) newspaper has set up special “check-in” corners at 14 Le Thanh Tong and 9 Tran Hung Dao streets in Hanoi’s Cua Nam ward.
