An overview of the Information and Communications Subcommittee's first meeting on September 8 |
In his address, Hai stressed the subcommittee’s critical role in supporting the NEC’s information, communications, and voter outreach efforts. He described the mission as vital to the elections’ success, underscoring the need for alignment with the Party Central Committee’s guidelines on election organization while adapting to new conditions following the recent major events.
He called for timely, accurate, and widespread communications to build public trust and consensus. He envisioned the Election Day as a “festival of the people” linked to key national milestones, including the 80th anniversaries of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the first general election, as well as the upcoming 14th National Party Congress.
Vietnam is undergoing reforms to streamline its political system and improve efficiency. As the 2026 elections face a shorter preparation period than previous cycles, he urged creative and coordinated communication methods across diverse platforms, with a focus on reaching remote and ethnic minority communities, religious groups, and overseas Vietnamese to ensure equitable access to information.
He advocated greater use of digital transformation in communications and also tailored content for foreign audiences. He directed the N.A. Office to work with other subcommittees to prepare unified materials for the NEC.
The official further suggested quickly establishing a press center and building a plan for regular press briefings.
The subcommittee’s working group was tasked with incorporating feedback from the meeting, finalizing draft resolutions for NEC review, and providing timely recommendations to maintain progress.
