 On 12 May 1977, a resolution released by the National Assembly Standing Committee of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam officially changed the Vietnamese name of the new agency to TTXVN, which has since been performing the role of the only news agency in Vietnam to this day.Since its establishment, the VNA's history has been inextricably linked to the revolutionary cause, national liberation and reconstruction of Vietnam.There is not any other press agency that has had as many martyrs as the VNA.
