Mr. Hoang Minh Cuong, Vice Chairman of Hai Phong City People's Committee emphasized that in the journey of comprehensive development, central and local press agencies are always an important bridge to convey information to the people, orient public opinion and spread positive values.

The press plays an important role in promoting socio-economic development achievements, introducing cultural heritage, scenic spots and tourism potential of Hai Phong, thereby contributing to enhancing the city's image, attracting investment and domestic and international tourists.

In recent years, Hai Phong has implemented many policies and communication programs to promote the city's image associated with culture, people and potential for sustainable development.

According to Ms. Tran Thi Hoang Mai, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hai Phong city, the press is an indispensable part in promoting the local cultural industry.

The city has actively ordered the production of television, radio and Internet programs with content that vividly reflects the cultural life, people and tourism of Hai Phong.

In addition, projects such as "Hai Phong Television Stage", propaganda about the value of the World Natural Heritage Ha Long Bay - Cat Ba Archipelago, press competitions, and tourism promotion communication programs have also been promoted and received widespread public attention.

The press's cooperation with cultural industries has contributed to orienting the consumption of cultural products and raising public awareness about preserving and promoting national cultural heritage.

Press agencies are places to honor artistic creations and innovative initiatives, promptly reflect challenges and difficulties, and propose appropriate solutions so that culture truly becomes a solid spiritual foundation of society.

Especially, in the context of deep international integration, taking advantage of the power of press media to promote cultural values ​​and build national brands is the right direction.

Typical cultural products such as music, cinema, fashion, cuisine, performing arts... can become a large source of revenue, contributing to GDP if communicated systematically and effectively.

The forum is also an opportunity to promote the image of Hai Phong city - a dynamic port city rich in cultural identity.

The city is aiming for comprehensive and sustainable development, in which cultural industry is identified as an important economic sector.

The development of cultural industry not only brings economic value but also contributes to building the image of Hai Phong people as friendly, hospitable, with deep knowledge and identity.

In the coming time, Hai Phong city will continue to implement the goals stated in Conclusion No. 96 of the 13th Politburo and Resolution No. 45 of the 12th Politburo, aiming to improve the material and spiritual life of the people on par with typical cities in the Asian region.

To realize that goal, Hai Phong will focus on investing in cultural development in a synchronous manner, commensurate with the speed of economic development. In particular, press communication work will continue to be promoted, contributing to building a sustainable cultural industry, rich in identity and highly competitive in the domestic and international markets.
