Mission & Disaster Reduction Profile
Viet Nam News was first released in 1991, a modest four-page newspaper whose stories were written, edited and proofed by hand. Since then, Viet Nam's major English language daily, published seven days a week, has kept pace with the rapid strides taken by the country in its economic renovation and its integration with the regional and world economies. Seven days a week, Viet Nam News online edition features six major topics: politics, the economy, society and culture, comment and miscellany. Special pages and columns also appear daily.
