Since the beginning of the year, many press works have been produced to commemorate major anniversaries, including the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory, the 70th anniversary of the Liberation Day of Hanoi capital, the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam People's Army, and the 80th anniversary of the GDP. These have been presented in various formats.
Additionally, the PAN has highlighted the activities of officers and soldiers involved in disaster response and recovery efforts across its publications and social media platforms, thereby enhancing the image of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" in the new era.
Continuing to build on its reputation as a leading newspaper in term of political theory, the People’s Army Newspaper has left a strong mark in major press awards, such as: one A prize and one B prize in the 8th National Press Award for Party Building (Golden Hammer and Sickle) in 2023, two B prizes in the 2023 National Press Awards, and multiple other awards from ministries, sectors, and localities.

Furthermore, the newspaper should remain a strong voice in the fight against wrongful and hostile views, protecting the ideological foundation of the Party, and effectively implementing the “Building the People’s Army Newspaper into a key multimedia agency by 2030, with a vision to 2045” project. He also expressed his hope that the PAN would continue to uphold the traditions of Vietnam’s revolutionary journalism and the heroic Vietnam People's Army, focusing on building a strong, well-rounded, disciplined, and scientific press agency. The newspaper should develop a journalistic culture characterized by "professionalism, humanity, and modernity," contributing to shaping positive public opinion and strengthening the "people's hearts posture."
