Following the organizing sub-committee's issuance of Conclusion No.01, dated April 3, 2024, on the assignment of tasks for serving the 14th National Party Congress, the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilization coordinated with relevant agencies to establish the press center.
