For the third time, the VTV International Department (VTV4) of Vietnam Television has once again achieved the highest awards.
The Vietnamese National External Information Service Awards has gained its fair share of credibility around the world. This will encourage journalists to further contribute to the External Information Service of Vietnam.
Launched in 2014, the contest has drawn great attention from both domestic and foreign press organisations, publishers and reporters. The number of entries to competition has increased through years from 893 entries in 17 languages in 2016 compared to 515 works in 10 languages in 2014.
Sixty-nine press works were honoured at the National External Information Service Awards 2016, including six first prizes, 15 second prizes, 18 third prizes, and 30 consolation prizes.
