Representatives of the two resident agencies emphasized that the positive changes taking place at VNA and VTV in the era of national development are the clearest evidence of that revolutionary spirit. And VNA and VTV resident reporters in Singapore are making efforts to promote the pioneering, connecting, spreading, and orienting qualities of revolutionary journalism in their work in the area.
Speaking at the exchange, Vietnamese Ambassador to Singapore Tran Phuoc Anh emphasized that 100 years is a sacred and proud milestone of Vietnamese revolutionary journalism.
This milestone not only shows the achievements of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press over the past 100 years but is also a reminder of the sacred mission of the Revolutionary Press as it enters a new era.
According to Ambassador Tran Phuoc Anh, the two local press agencies, the VNA Resident Office and the VTV Resident Office, are doing their jobs very well, from information work to meeting the requirements of the new situation to contributing to bridging the gap between Vietnam and Singapore, between the Vietnamese community in Singapore and their homeland, in line with the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Singapore.
The Ambassador emphasized that regardless of the circumstances or era, responsibility and principles of journalism are constant. He expressed his confidence that the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press will continue to achieve many successes in the new era.
Sharing about the topic of the discussion, Professor Vu Minh Khuong - Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy - said that he himself has worked with journalists for the past few decades, he feels very interesting and very motivated because the more he works with journalists, the more he feels responsible for the country.
According to Professor Vu Minh Khuong, the team of Vietnamese revolutionary journalists is very dedicated, enlightened, knowledgeable, and always shares their passion and courage to move the country forward.
The professor affirmed his desire to share his enthusiasm and support with the Vietnamese press team in Singapore in particular and the Vietnamese press team in general to contribute to the brilliant development of the country in the era of rising in the next two decades.

Ms. Ta Thuy Lien affirmed that the two press agencies residing in Singapore have been a sustainable bridge between the Vietnamese community in Singapore and the country as well as in the relationship between the two countries. She hopes that this spirit of companionship, listening, spreading and connecting national warmth will continue to be promoted in the future.
