(VOVoworld) - Press officials on Friday continued their conference on this year’s tasks in Quang Ninh province. Party Poliburo member Le Hong Anh has stressed Vietnamese media’s  central tasks to bridge the party and the people: “Media nationwide should effectively disseminate information on the implementation of the resolution of the 4^th plenum of the Party Central Committee on party building and movements to follow Ho Chi Minh’s moral examples. The media should inform the public of government management, raise people’s awareness on natural disaster and climate change prevention, and territorial issues for national defence and construction.
