The two leaders agreed that traditional journalism needs to change in order to keep up with the current demand of young readers. To achieve this goal, it needs a strong team of young journalists who could meet the needs of young readers.

However, as information channels that are responsible for propagating and disseminating the Party's guidelines and the State's policies and laws to the people, the two parties emphasized that besides young journalists, the press agencies still need veteran reporters to provide updated, accurate, and prompt information to the readers.

In addition, the two newspapers need to contribute to the development and strengthening of the traditional friendship between Vietnam and Cuba as well as enhance information exchange to help the people, especially the young generations of both countries, understand the value of this special relationship.
