Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has recently approved a plan
to promote dissemination work on global integration events in 2017-2020.
The
plan aims to popularise images of Vietnam, its culture and people at home and
abroad, contributing to improving Vietnam’s stature in the international arena.
It
targets ministries, ministry-level agencies and those from the central to local
level, socio-political-economic organisations, businesses, foreign entities
operating in Vietnam, researchers, students, workers, citizens from ASEAN
member states, Vietnam’s strategic partners and countries that signed free
trade agreements with Vietnam.
The
work will focus on the Party’s policies and guidelines, State laws on global
integration, Vietnam’s achievements in politics, national defence-security,
socio-economy, education-training, science-technology, bilateral and
multilateral cooperation with countries and international organisations.
Information
will be regularly disseminated via mass media such as Vietnam News Agency,
Vietnam Television, Radio the Voice of Vietnam, Nhan dan newspaper, grassroots
media and prestigious news websites.
Between
now and 2020, Vietnam will assume a number of positions such as host of APEC
Year 2017, ASEAN Chair in 2020 and bid for non-permanent membership of the
United Nations Security Council for 2020-2021. The country is due to deliver on
international commitments regarding entry to the World Trade Organisation by
