VNA General Director Vu Viet Trang said the exhibition spotlights Vietnam’s progress during the ”Doi moi” (renewal) and integration period under the Party’s leadership and the Government's management, as well as the spirit of innovation, solidarity, and aspiration for a prosperous and happy nation.
Many works depict joint efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, along with achievements in economic recovery, administrative reform, digital transformation, environmental protection, climate adaptation, and improvements in health care, education, sports, and international integration, Trang said. She emphasized that the event demonstrates the role of the national news agency in delivering an accurate and timely portrayal of Vietnam to the public on this significant occasion.
According to journalist Nguyen Quang Hai, head of the VNA Photo Editorial Board, said the selected works were carefully chosen from tens of thousands of photos previously distributed to domestic and international media outlets. The photos align with the theme “Building a clean, strong Party Organization of the Government; pioneering in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation; accelerating breakthroughs for rapid and sustainable national development in the new era.”
The displayed photos also reflect the continuous innovation of Vietnamese journalism in general and the VNA in particular to capture the nation’s current affairs in a timely, vivid, and multidimensional manner, Hai said.
VNA’s coverage has provided an accurate and detailed portrayal of the Party and Government’s leadership and governance, illustrating the effectiveness of policies through real-life outcomes. The photos help strengthen public trust, inspire innovation, and promote the image of a dynamic, integrated, and forward-looking Vietnam to audiences at home and abroad.

With the message “Science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation are breakthrough drivers for national development,” the exhibition space presents an overview of achievements from 2020 to 2025 across areas of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, agricultural sciences, medicine, and defense and security technology. It also highlights milestones in innovation, digital transformation, and strategic technologies of the new era, spotlighting Vietnam’s growing regional and global standing in science, technology, and innovation.
Accomplishments in the natural sciences convey the message of a solid knowledge foundation that enables Vietnam to maintain a strong regional standing in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and agriculture.
