During the Congress, press agencies need to promptly inform about the developments; the theme, motto, and goals of the Congress; the democratic atmosphere and responsibility of delegates; the attention of public opinion, and the feelings and aspirations of the people of the Capital.

Along with that, Comrade Vu Ha also emphasized the need for the press to continue to focus on promoting the implementation of the two-level local government model; step up propaganda on preparations for the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People's Council deputies at all levels for the 2026-2031 term in accordance with the direction of the Central Committee. At the same time, the press needs to strengthen propaganda on the implementation of Directive No. 50-CT/TW of the Secretariat on innovation and improvement of the quality of Party cell activities in the new period, associated with clarifying the necessity, effectiveness and positive impact on urban governance and people's lives; thereby emphasizing positive factors, promoting the achieved results, and frankly recognizing and overcoming limitations.
