Speaking at the event, PM Chinh said the debut of VTV Can Tho is the result of VTV’s restructuring. He noted that in line with the Politburo’s Resolution No.13-NQ/TW dated April 2, Can Tho plays a core role in the development of the Mekong Delta and in promoting regional links. VTV Can Tho will help bring mainstream information to residents in the region in the quickest manner, serving as an effective bridge between the people and authorities at all levels, and between the southwest and the country, thus creating social consensus on performing tasks related to socio-economic development, national defense-security and external affairs.
