She thanked the agencies for their contributions to boosting the friendship and fruitful multi-faceted cooperation between Viet Nam and the RoK and Russia.
Nearly 40 foreign media agencies are now operating in Viet Nam, Hang said, and she hoped these newcomers will publish stories about the land and people of Viet Nam in a positive and objective manner.
The Press-Information Department and MoFA will facilitate the work of foreign journalists, thus helping to further enhance the friendship and multifaceted cooperation between Viet Nam, and Russia and the RoK.
The chiefs of the representative offices pledged to cooperate with the MoFA, work with a professional spirit, and observe regulations on foreign media in Viet Nam./.
