The conference also saw the participation of leaders of ministries, sectors, central agencies, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and localities across the nation, along with representatives from socio-political organisations, art and cultural associations, as well as scientists, cultural experts, intellectuals and artists.

This is the second National Cultural Conference since 1946, aiming to invigorate the national aspiration as the country enters a new period of rapid and sustainable development.

During the conference, participants will review the implementation of the Party’s orientations, policies, resolutions, directions and conclusions regarding cultural and art activities over the years, as well as the outcomes of the development of the Vietnamese culture and people after 35 years of the “Doi Moi” (Renewal) cause, while defining new orientations and tasks in the work for the 2021-2026 period and until 2045.

It gives a chance for cultural experts, intellectuals and artists to foster solidarity in thoughts and actions, while connecting cultural forces inside and outside the country to serve the nation, optimising the strength from the national great unity to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.

Prior to the conference, delegates visited an exhibition themed “Culture enlightens people’s path”, which introduces 320 outstanding artistic photos and 123 valuable documents and items arranged in six categories featuring the Vietnamese culture flow from the past to modern time./.
