Vietnam News Agency marks 5 years of Chinese-language news service

Xinhua, September 25, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Vietnam's state-run news agency VNA celebrated the five-year operation of its Chinese-language news service on Friday in Vietnam's capital Hanoi.

The Chinese news service has contributed to promoting news services for foreign audience, said Pham Van Linh, deputy head of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee's Commission for Communications and Education and permanent deputy head of the Steering Committee for External Information Service while addressing the ceremony.

Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam Hong Xiaoyong expressed his hope that the Chinese and Vietnamese media will continue covering the development and outcomes of bilateral ties for the sake of the two peoples.

VNA General Director Nguyen Duc Loi, for his part, praised the Chinese-language staff for serving as a bridge fostering the Vietnam - China traditional friendship.

Officially launched on Sept. 28, 2010 on VNA's website vnanet. vn and the agency's online newspaper www.vietnamplus.vn, the Chinese-language news service covers the latest socio-economic developments of Vietnam and gives readers an insight into the country's reform.

The service is intended to popularize Vietnam's external policy of peace, independence, diversification and multi-lateralization as well as the country's consistent policy of bolstering stable, healthy and long-term relations with China, and joining hand with China to deepen the bilateral comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, said VNA.

Following the online news services, the VNA began broadcasting a daily Chinese-language news program on its own TV channel since Aug. 1, 2011. Endi
