With 82 years of tradition, Dai Doan Ket Newspaper has made important contributions to the cause of Vietnamese revolutionary journalism. The prestige and name of the newspaper and the people working for Dai Doan Ket Newspaper through the ages have portrayed and created the history of Vietnamese revolutionary journalism.

The Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department also said that at any time, in any stage, any newspaper has difficulties and challenges that the newspaper, the Editorial Board and journalists must face. These are the rapid development of technology with cross-border media platforms; the difficulties of the press economy when competition for information, advertising and communication is narrowed; the problem of managing the team of reporters in the context of practical needs is always a challenge and pressure for writers,...

Towards the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, Mr. Lam also suggested that the greatest gift that Dai Doan Ket Newspaper gives to the Party, State, Vietnam Fatherland Front and readers is professionalism, modernity and humanity.
