In 2025, VietNamNet celebrates its 28th anniversary (December 19, 1997 – December 19, 2025). While 28 years is not long in the history of journalism, it is enough for a news outlet to shape its identity, earn public trust, and continuously renew itself in a fast-evolving media landscape.

This anniversary also marks a pivotal milestone: VietNamNet begins a new chapter as the official media agency of the Ministry of Ethnic and Religious Affairs. This transition is not merely organizational - it represents an expansion in purpose, vision, and responsibility.

For nearly two decades under the Ministry of Information and Communications (now the Ministry of Science and Technology), VietNamNet established itself as a reputable political news outlet in the digital space. It has been bold in embracing new technologies and steadfast in upholding the values of integrity and professionalism in revolutionary journalism.

At 28, now under the Ministry of Ethnic and Religious Affairs, VietNamNet carries with it the aspiration to become the voice of a multi-colored Vietnam - where every identity is honored, every voice is heard, and every piece of information contributes to consensus and progress. The message “Honoring identity – Leading information” is not just a slogan - it is a long-term commitment.

Today’s media faces more challenges than ever, yet one thing remains unchanged: revolutionary journalism always serves the people and prioritizes the nation’s interests. For 28 years, VietNamNet has remained on that path - providing accurate, timely information; embracing innovation in the digital age; and spreading human values and positivity across society.

With a team of dedicated journalists, VietNamNet hopes to continue being a trusted companion to the 54 ethnic groups across Vietnam - from lowlands to highlands, from urban centers to remote villages. No matter the location, every citizen's voice deserves to be heard and respected.

In this new phase, VietNamNet clearly defines its pioneering role in covering ethnic affairs and religious policy. The outlet aims to contribute to the development of ethnic minority and mountainous regions, strengthen national solidarity, and foster trust in the Party and State among ethnic communities and religious groups.

VietNamNet values every ounce of support and every piece of feedback - both praise and critique - from readers across the country. These connections are the driving force behind our desire to go further, do better, and continue our journalistic mission with faith, responsibility, and a deep commitment to public service.
