The Nhan dan (People) newspaper, the official organ of the Party Central Committee, celebrated 65 years of its first issue (March 11, 1951) and was granted with the Independence Order (first class) for its dedication, on March 9.

The ceremony took place in Hanoi in the presence of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

At the ceremony

Politburo member and Standing member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Dinh The Huynh said since the first issue, Nhan dan has continually developed and strived to deserve the title “the Party’s political and ideological flag” in the field of press.
He asked the staff to be fully aware of the daily’s functions and tasks, timely and faithfully reflect the situation in Vietnam and the world, and publicise and encourage people from all strata to comply with the Party’s guidelines and the State’s policies and laws.
In 1951 amid the resistance war against France, the second National Party Congress in Kim Binh commune of northern Tuyen Quang province decided to publish the Nhan dan, replacing the Su That (Truth) newspaper.
The daily is currently a multimedia press agency. It has been presented with the Gold Star Order and the Ho Chi Minh Order – the two noblest orders, and the titles of Labour Hero and Hero of the People’s Armed Forces.
