In the Party General Secretary's message printed at the beginning of the book, General Secretary Lam sent congratulations to all revolutionary journalists of Vietnam. He affirmed that over the past century, the contingent of Vietnamese revolutionary journalists has continuously grown to make important contributions to the cause of national liberation, reunification, and socialism building.

The press has always accompanied the Party, the State and the people, served as the voice of conscience, and also acted as a sharp weapon in fighting against the bad, protecting the right, and arousing and spreading the spirit of solidarity, the aspiration for development, and the will to rise of the nation.

The Party chief also appreciated the coordination between the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilisation, and the VNA in jointly compiling and publishing the photo book.

Nguyen Trong Nghia, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, and Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education, and Mass Mobilisation, wrote the foreword for the book. He expressed his belief that with its glorious tradition and spirit of continuous innovation and creativity, the Vietnam Revolutionary Press will continue to write golden pages of history, joining the country in entering a new era.

On the same day, a ceremony to launch the photo book was held at the VNA headquarters, with the presence of Le Quoc Minh, member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of the Nhan dan (People) Newspaper, and Vice Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilisation./.
