The
press has been given a clear road to operate, and it needs to continue the role
of publicizing the Party and government’s guidelines, new Minister of
Information and Communication Nguyen Bac Son said Wednesday.
Speaking during a ceremony at the ministry
headquarters in which he received the office from his predecessors Le Doan Hop,
Son said the ministry will carry out plans to develop the press constantly as
the sector would contribute to the construction and development of the country.
He said there’s been no barriers to the press
if it is operating under the laws.
“There’s no actions to prevent the operation
of the press.”
Reporters have always been provided with
comprehensive and adequate information in all fields, Son said.
After every National Assembly or government’s
meeting, there’s always a press briefings to publish related information, he
said as making an example.
There’re are more than 700 press agencies
operating in Vietnam and all have performed their roles very well in the past
time, especially the job of publicizing the government’s socio-economic targets
and programs, the minister said.
Under his service, Son said news agencies and
broadcasting centers will continue to be managed strictly under the Prime
Minister guidelines.
Press agencies have to fully perform their roles
of educating the public with the policies and viewpoints of the Party and the
central government, he said.
They are the bridge to create an agreement
between the government, the Party and the society, as well as to build
citizens’ confidence for the government.
Besides the media, the new minister also said
that he would focus his service on the management of Internet,
telecommunication, and IT application.
Suitable policies would help manage the
sectors properly while providing it with development in accordance with
increasing demand from the society, Son said.
The new minister said that the government
should improve its management over telecommunication and information technology
facilities, making the sectors meet the demands of social-economic development
and especially of national defense and security.
He said that the ministry will make efforts to
develop any applications possible from information technology.
