General Secretary To Lam speaks at the 80th anniversary of the Cultural Sector's Traditional Day
The General Secretary pointed out that our country is entering a new stage of development with the goal of becoming a developed, high-income country with a socialist orientation. The world context is changing rapidly and complexly; the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital economy, green economy, circular economy, smart cities, etc. are shaping new standards; strategic competition, information explosion, and "cyberspace struggle" are taking place fiercely; the penetration of diverse and multi-dimensional foreign cultural products. In that context, culture must go one step ahead, light the way, lead, foster courage, strengthen trust, and form national soft capacity.
Every cultural worker should carry in their heart the flame of patriotism, professional pride, sense of discipline and tireless creativity.
The General Secretary emphasized that the 80-year tradition is a spiritual treasure, but tradition only truly shines when we continue to write new pages of history. In every position, every person working in culture should carry in their hearts the flame of patriotism, professional pride, a sense of discipline and tireless creativity. Let every literary and artistic work, every tournament, every tourism product, every cultural space be an “ambassador” of truth - goodness - beauty in Vietnam. Let every management decision be a commitment to the public, to the flow of heritage, to the future of the Vietnamese people.
The General Secretary expressed his belief that under the leadership of the Party, the management of the State, the participation of the entire political system, the consensus and support of the people; with the mettle, talent and love for the profession of the team of people working in culture, information, sports, tourism..., Vietnamese culture will develop to its full potential, so that our country will be strong and rich, so that our nation will last forever, so that every Vietnamese person will be happy, confident to integrate and shine.
General Secretary To Lam awarded certificates of merit to 80 typical advanced examples of the Culture sector.
Speaking at the ceremony, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung was moved to share that the past 80 years have been a journey of writing a "cultural epic" from resistance to integration, with strong steps forward in heritage preservation, development of cultural industry, sports, tourism and communications. Culture is increasingly affirmed as soft power, the soul of the nation, and the driving force for national development.
With the declaration of action: "Culture is the foundation - Information is the conduit - Sports is the strength - Tourism is the connecting bridge", the whole industry is determined to successfully carry out the tasks entrusted by the Party, the State and the people, bringing the cause of cultural development into a new era with new achievements, new marks, contributing to building a rich, democratic, fair, civilized, prosperous and happy Vietnam.
