Comrade Truong Thi Mai affirmed that Party building is a broad topic, not easy to write about, and requires high requirements, but she hopes that press agencies will closely follow reality to have more good and rich articles. Works need to promote "both building and fighting". Thanks to that, it will contribute to building an increasingly clean and strong political system; the Party's leadership method will continue to be innovated, with quality and efficiency; and a team of cadres will be built to meet the requirements of capacity, courage and qualities.

2022 is the second year of organizing an online conference to foster knowledge on Party building for leaders, reporters, and editors of news agencies and newspapers. At the conference, trainees will be able to exchange, share, and answer questions about Party building and rectification work with reporters with many years of experience in Party building work with 5 main topics, including: New points on Party building work in the documents of the 12th National Party Congress; On protecting the Party's ideological foundation, refuting distorted, incorrect, and hostile arguments; Important contents on Party building and rectification in the 4th and 5th Central Resolutions of the 13th term; Experience in choosing topics and skills in creating journalistic works on Party building; Introducing new models, creative and effective ways in Party building work.

This is an activity within the framework of the project "Developing Vietnamese journalism in the period 2020-2024" to improve the professional capacity of reporters and editors of news agencies nationwide, contributing to improving the quality of entries for the 7th "Golden Hammer and Sickle" National Journalism Award on Party building in 2022.
