The largest-ever Spring Press Festival 2015 will be held at Giang Vo Exhibition Centre in Hanoi from February 7 to 10, to mark the founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and welcome spring and new opportunities for the nation, according to a Feb. 2 press briefing.

As many as 65 media agencies will display their publications, including Spring and Lunar New Year (Tet) editions, in 120 booths to provide visitors with an overall view on the history of Vietnam’s revolutionary press, as well as their plans in the new period of national development.

Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, Truong Minh Tuan, who is also deputy head of the festival’s organizing board, said the four-day event will highlight great achievements of local media agencies in 2014, with a focus on disseminating information on State laws and Party’s policies and guidelines, national sovereignty over sea and islands, and good people and good deeds.

Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists’ Association Ha Minh Hue said this year’s spring press festival is the largest of its kind so far, which attracts media agencies from far-flung areas in Son La, Yen Bai, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.

It’s worth noting that, a 10 sq.m special stall will be arranged in an S shape to present a panorama of the Vietnamese press.

The festival’s opening ceremony will be broadcast live on VTV1 channel of Vietnam Television and VOV1 channel of Radio the Voice of Vietnam.

On this occasion, visitors will also have a chance to take part in an exchange programme with journalists and reporters, and enjoy music and dance performances by both Vietnamese and foreign artist troupes.
