The important issue is that the delegates shared many valuable experiences in organizing information that accurately reflects the world and regional situation, opposing the hegemony and domination of the Western press that imposes and reports false information for its own political purposes.

Journalist Nguyen Duc Loi also shared about Vietnam's outstanding events in 2025, such as the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification; the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam..., including the 100th anniversary of the Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.

In the afternoon of the same day, in the discussion session before the conference summary, Dr. Dinh Quynh Anh, Professional Committee of the Vietnam Journalists Association participated in the discussion with the title: "Media manipulation in the digital transformation era and response strategies".

Dr. Quynh Anh informed: With the rapid development of technology and advanced applications of artificial intelligence, fake news has transformed into sophisticated products, more difficult to distinguish from the truth than ever, from videos, fake news simulating famous people to articles produced by AI.

More importantly, fake, untrue, and distorted news appeals to users' curiosity, so it spreads rapidly on social networks, causing serious consequences.

Therefore, identifying and dealing with fake news is not only the responsibility of journalists and press organizations but also of the whole society.

Only through close cooperation among stakeholders can we protect the truth, maintain trust and build a healthy information and press environment...

On this occasion, Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Journalists Association Nguyen Duc Loi presented gifts to the Cuban Journalists Association; Editor-in-Chief of Quang Tri Newspaper Truong Duc Minh Tu presented gifts to Granma Newspaper.
