Rebutting distortions of press freedom in Vietnam

Friday, June 21, 2024, 15:14 (GMT+7)
Press freedom is one of the fundamental human rights that Vietnam has committed to and seriously implemented in accordance with the general principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, hostile forces, reactionaries, and political dissidents consistently distort this reality to sabotage our Party, State, and socialist regime

Vietnam's undeniable achievements in ensuring civil and political rights

Practice has proven that, since joining the ICCPR Convention in 1982, Vietnam has always strived to synchronously implement policies and solutions to ensure civil and political rights for citizens and has obtained many important and comprehensive achievements on all fronts. This is not only the obligation and responsibility of membership in the Convention, but also the consistent goal of the Party and State of Vietnam to bring a good life to the people.

Ensuring and promoting human rights are Vietnam's consistent policy

Respecting and ensuring human rights are the consistent viewpoint and policy of our Party and State; which have been prescribed in the Constitution and laws of Vietnam over times; concretised in socio-economic development strategies and plans appropriate to each stage of the country's development; implemented actively and responsibly in the implementation of international obligations and commitments on human rights.

Combating distortions of democracy in Vietnam

Instead of removing the CPV’s leadership, it is necessary to affirm and strengthen that leadership in practice as the key to democracy in our country. An abandonment of the CPV’s leadership and ruling role or the exercise of political pluralism will not make Vietnam more democratic, but instead put it at risk of chaos and instability like some other countries have experienced.

Press freedom must be within the legal framework

Over the years, the press in Vietnam has always played the role as the voice of the Party and the State and the forum of the people and proactively, promptly, and effectively informed major issues of the country to clearly demonstrate the role to lead and guide public opinion and create social consensus. Vietnam's press agencies are really a bridge between the Party and the State and the People to quickly, fully, and accurately propagate the news of events, undertakings, and guidelines of the Party and policies of the State and the Government in performing two strategic tasks of building and protecting the Fatherland.

Ridiculous distortions about democracy, human rights, and social networks in Vietnam

Friday, July 01, 2022, 13:46 (GMT+7)
Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of information are considered basic principles for a democracy, even as "oxygen" in a democratic and developed society, but not recognised as an absolute right by the international community. The exercise of the right to freedom of expression comes with special obligations and responsibilities, may be subject to certain limitations set forth in law, and is necessary to respect the rights or reputations of others; protect national security or public order, the health or morals of society.

President Ho Chi Minh with Vietnam revolutionary press

President Ho Chi Minh’s journalistic views and career are very valuable guidelines for the development of the Vietnamese press today, especially when the country is developing the socialist-oriented market economy and undergoing globalisation and international integration.

Be aware of the fake “knights”

Monday, May 16, 2022, 08:35 (GMT+7)
Taking advantage of the economic, cultural and social difficulties in ethnic minority areas, hostile forces spared no trick to paint a gray picture, a future without hope of people there. Along with that, the fertile land of "human rights", "freedom of speech", "freedom of press" is always plowed by hostile forces to plant the "seeds" of the illusion of oppression, injustice of our regime.

"Vietnamese modern poetry only has New Poetry and Young Poetry" - an absurd argument must be rejected

Monday, December 14, 2020, 06:55 (GMT+7)
In recent times, some people have stated that “Vietnamese modern poetry only has New Poetry and Young Poetry,” insisting that the poetry during the resistance wars against French colonialists and American imperialists was merely “illustrative” and “rustic.” These are not only an unfounded argument but also a worrying deviation as the result of “peaceful evolution” or “self-evolution,” which must be identified and excluded from cultural and social life

Identify and fight against poisonous information on the threshold of the 13th National Party Congress

Thursday, October 29, 2020, 09:10 (GMT+7)
Combating the plots to defame and smear cadres prior to the Party’s 13th National Congress represents a task of importance at present. Thus, each citizen and especially each cadre and party member should remain vigilance and selectively receive information, while proactively fighting against and pushing back distortions and fabrications, and resolutely preventing the hostile forces and political opportunists from undermining internal unity or sabotaging the success of our Congress
