Musicians from Radio the Voice of Vietnam held a concert in Cao Bang province on October 6 to mark the official launch of the Phia Oac radio transmitter station which was built at a cost of VND20 billion.

Located 2,000 metres above sea level with its 75m antenna tower, the station is considered the highest in Vietnam so far to cover the whole province of Cao Bang and its neighbouring areas. 

The event has affirmed VOV’s role in providing information to people, especially those living in remote mountainous areas.

On the occasion, VOV General Director Vu Van Hien presented radios receivers to local people in the province. He also presented the “For the cause of radio broadcasting” insignia to nine leaders and certificates to individuals and collective units who have high recorded many achievements in protecting national broadcasting stations.
