VietNamNet accompanies compatriots nationwide
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung expressed his deep gratitude to the staff, reporters and editors of VietNamNet newspaper for their contributions in nearly 20 years of working for the Ministry of Science and Technology, formerly the Ministry of Information and Communications . The Minister emphasized that VietNamNet newspaper has gradually affirmed itself as a political electronic newspaper with its own identity, a pioneering newspaper in technology. VietNamNet newspaper is one of the first electronic newspapers in Vietnam, a pioneer in strong digital transformation, applying data technology and artificial intelligence in the production of news and articles, gathering a team of sharp, upright journalists, always present at social hotspots, highlighting constructive and objective criticism. The newspaper has maintained a strong political stance, clearly demonstrating a national vision, aiming at the country's major issues from socio-economics to culture and international integration.
Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung spoke at the handover ceremony.
According to the Minister, the transfer of VietNamNet to the Ministry of Ethnic Minorities and Religions opens up a new space for the newspaper. If previously, VietNamNet was the voice of the Information and Communications sector - a convergence of technology, innovation and policy communication, now the newspaper will continue to promote its strengths in the cultural, ethnic and religious space of the country.
The Minister shared that in the digital age, communication work on ethnicity and religion is no longer about distorted, one-way information but requires a combination of profound political commentary, advanced technology and humane content. That is the strength that VietNamNet can best promote.
The Minister expects VietNamNet to carry its own identity and values, innovate more strongly, help raise awareness, create consensus and spread major policies on national unity, religious harmony, sustainable development, and be a place to lead political values, both politically steadfast and sharp in modern media thinking. Most importantly, VietNamNet is a companion of the Vietnamese people, whether they are in the plains or the mountains, in the cities or in the villages.
Minister Nguyen Manh Hung believes that with a team of dedicated and idealistic journalists, with the foundation built from the very first days, with the strength associated with ethnic and religious work, VietNamNet will continue to write new chapters worthy of its name - political journalism for a diverse and united Vietnam. On behalf of the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the former leaders of the Ministry of Information and Communications, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung respectfully thanks the valuable contributions of all cadres, reporters and editors of VietNamNet newspaper in the past journey and wishes the new journey of the newspaper to continue to be brilliant, proud and worthy of the trust of the Party, the State and the people.
Writing a new mission in the digital age
Speaking at the handover, Minister of Ethnic Minorities and Religions Dao Ngoc Dung said that this was not only an administrative transfer but also demonstrated the Ministry's deep belief in the VietNamNet brand and the value the newspaper has built over the past 28 years. With a worthy position as one of the major newspapers in Vietnam, the handover event marked the merger of VietNamNet and Ethnic Minorities and Development Newspaper to become the official mouthpiece of the Ministry of Ethnic Minorities and Religions under the name VietNamNet.

Vietnam is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country, so VietNamNet newspaper is not only a news reporter but also a companion, a bridge between the Party and the people, between policies and life. Each article is the crystallization of dedication, love for the profession and deep affection for compatriots, ethnic groups and religions. The Ministry's press agencies must integrate into the country's life rhythm of ethnic and religious compatriots, closely follow the policies of the central government, the National Assembly, and the Government to proactively, promptly, and creatively deploy information and propaganda work, create a positive media space, and create an atmosphere of determination and drastic action throughout the industry to effectively carry out assigned goals and tasks.
