Leaders of the Vietnam News Agency and the Northwest, Southwest and
Central Highlands Steering Committees agreed to promote information
cooperation at a conference in the Mekong Delta City of Can Tho
on March 16.
Under the agreement, VNA’s daily
newspaper Tin Tuc will become an information channel of the three
steering committees in publicising the Party and State’s policies in the
three regions.
At the conference, the delegates
highlighted the role of the VNA as an official national news channel
providing accurate information to all people, as well as rejecting
distorted or untrue information by hostile forces about socio-economic
development in the above-mentioned regions.

the role of its existing bureaus in three regional hubs of Dak Lak, Yen
