PM Chinh recalled President Ho Chi Minh’s warning that "Embezzlement, wastefulness, and bureaucracy are the enemy of the people,” describing them as an “internal invader.”

He said that guided by this principle, the Party and State have led a resolute, coordinated fight campaign against corruption, wastefulness, and misconduct, applying the principle of “no forbidden zones” and “no exceptions,” achieving significant and comprehensive results, with great contributions by media agencies and journalists nationwide.

Vietnam’s revolutionary press has always been at the forefront of the fight against corruption, wastefulness, and negative phenomena, he said.

Individuals and groups of authors receive the B Prizes at the event.

Behind every article and investigative report lies relentless creativity, wholehearted dedication, courage, and intellect of journalists, he said, stressing that they illuminate the light of justice and truth, helping authorities investigate and resolve serious cases of corruption and wastefulness.

With five editions, the award has increasingly affirmed its prestige and far-reaching impact, he noted.

Many works highlight role models, while many others clearly demonstrate the critical roles of the VFF and political and social organisations, and the active participation of the public in this fight.

The leader praised the organisations that successfully held this press award, while congratulating 44 authors and groups of authors whose works were honoured at the ceremony.

In the new era, the Party and State continue to regard the fight as a key task that is both urgent and long-term, serving as a vital foundation for promoting the country’s rapid and sustainable development, he noted, adding this fight requires the continued participation of the entire political system and the public, especially the press, journalists, the VFF, and political and social organisations.

The PM urged the press to uphold its role and emphasised the need to build a contingent of journalists who take the lead in this combat.

He asked Party Committees and authorities at all levels to promptly implement the Party and State’s policies and guidelines, strengthen coordination, and support journalists and those who courageously speak out against corruption, wastefulness, and other negative practices.

Cao Minh Ngoc, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Bac Ninh Newspaper, Radio & Television Station congratulates the award-winning author group.

The Government leader asked for innovation to enhance the award's influence, inspire and motivate journalists to fully show their creativity and dedication, and thereby contribute to building a professional, humane, and modern revolutionary press.

By July 31, 2025, the organisers had received 1,110 entries across four categories - print, online, radio, and television from 90 central and local press agencies.

At the ceremony, four works received A Prizes, 10 won B Prizes, 12 took C Prizes, and 18 earned consolation awards.

The author group comprising Trinh Lan, Mai Toan and Nguyen Huong from Bac Ninh Newspaper, Radio & Television Station excellently won the B Prize with a five-part series titled “Large-scale deforestation detected in Luc Nam.”
