On the afternoon of March 13th, in Hanoi, the Vietnam Journalists Association held a ceremony to receive many valuable artifacts donated by journalists and their families.

This is a meaningful and practical activity within the framework of the 2016 National Press Conference, contributing to building and enriching the Museum of Vietnamese Revolutionary Journalism.

At the ceremony, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association, Ho Quang Loi, stated that museums are all about artifacts and promoting the value of those artifacts.
