The Party official made the remarks at a national conference reviewing the communication and education work in 2018 and devising plans for 2019, held by the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Communication and Education in Hanoi on December 29.

Politburo member Vuong noted that the communication and education sector has contributed to directing political thinking and public opinion amid pressing issues, while fighting against the wrongful views of hostile forces to protect the Party’s ideology and build a pure and strong Party.
In 2018, the sector also made visible changes in giving advice on education and training, science-technology, environment, health, social welfare, and others, in addition to improving the quality and operation of the press, publishing and cultural activities, and meeting the demand of the people.
In particular, the communication and education sector at all levels streamlined their organisational structure and enhanced the professional knowledge and skills for its staff to improve the efficiency of the communication and education work.
Regarding the plan for 2019, the sector will continue to monitor the domestic and international situation and closely follow the directions from the Politburo, Secretariat, and Party’s Committees to complete all set tasks.
Meanwhile, the communication and education work must contribute effectively to protecting the Party’s ideological foundation, maintaining the people’s trust in the Party, State and the regime, while strengthening the national unity bloc, and promoting patriotism and innovation among the people.
