Moscow (VNA) - Vietnam Ambassador to Russia Dang Minh Khoi has expressed his sympathy for the hardships and obstacles Vietnamese journalists are facing when working in one of the COVID-19 hardest hit countries.

The ambassador said at a ceremony to mark the 96th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925-2021) that despite ongoing difficulties caused by the pandemic, many Vietnamese correspondents have exerted every effort to fulfill their assigned tasks, contributing to the successful organisation of many big and major events together with the Vietnamese representative agencies in Russia.

Correspondents of the Party’s key press agencies are always promptly reporting the political and socio-economic situation as well as the major international events in Russia, thus enhancing the image of Vietnam and Russia among readers and audiences of the two countries, he said.
