In 2023, Bien Hoa City overcame many difficulties and challenges to achieve and surpass 43/44 targets for socio-economic development, national defence, and security. Indicators such as total investment capital for social development, industrial and construction production value, and service revenue all achieved positive results, at a higher rate than the set plan.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Bien Hoa City noted: “In the past, with their efforts and responsibility, the press agencies have organised extensive and vivid propaganda on the efforts to restore and develop the socio-economy of Bien Hoa City; promoted the image of Bien Hoa - Dong Nai as dynamic, creative, and integrated; actively disseminated information on Party building, and put the Party’s Resolutions into practice. The press agencies have fulfilled their functions and tasks in protecting the Party’s ideological foundation, guiding public opinion, and combating and refuting bad and toxic information. They have actively and strongly innovated in terms of both content and form, especially promoting digital transformation, building press agencies, press works, and media in a modern and multimedia direction… contributing to the successful implementation of the city’s goals and tasks.

Entering the new year of the Dragon 2024, the year of accelerating the successful implementation of the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party and the Resolutions of the Party Congresses at all levels. With new faith and momentum, to successfully implement the set goals and tasks, the role of press agencies, journalists, and reporters is extremely important. I believe that press agencies, journalists, and reporters will always accompany Bien Hoa City, closely follow the grassroots and practical life to have more press works that contribute to spreading good values, creating trust, and high consensus in society.”
