In addition to policy creation, from the perspective of state management, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism was assigned by the Politburo to work with relevant agencies to advise on the drafting of documents for the 14th National Party Congress.

"The good news is that in this draft document, culture and people have been included in a section with very specific contents. From there, we have a clear basis to thoroughly understand and implement when the Congress approves with many new arguments and approaches," the Minister stated.

In addition, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism was assigned by the Politburo to coordinate with relevant agencies to research and submit the project "Internationalization of Vietnamese culture and Vietnamization of international culture". This is a glorious but also very difficult task.

The workshop was broadcast live from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to localities across the country.

According to the Minister, to build a Project worthy of submitting to the Politburo, as a basis for organizing the implementation and concretization of Resolution 59-NQ/TW on "International integration in the new situation" is not a simple matter.

What is the approach? to propose solutions on policy mechanisms, resources, human resources...

In her report at the workshop, Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hoa, Director of the Department of International Cooperation - Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, affirmed that in today's era, culture increasingly affirms its role as a bridge between nations, enhancing mutual understanding, being the driving force of sustainable development, enhancing national prestige, creating a premise to promote development cooperation.

Cultural power is likened to "soft power" that many countries have successfully used to spread their image to the world, actively contributing to the struggle for peace, national independence, democracy and social progress in the world.

Vietnam is a country with a long-standing culture and civilization, with a tradition of thousands of years. That culture has its own system of values ​​and identity, not assimilated by any foreign invaders. That system of values ​​and identity, together with the selective absorption of the quintessence of world culture, has created Vietnam's soft power.

Vietnam's cultural soft power is an important element that constitutes the nation's overall strength and enhances national competitiveness in the global value chain.

Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hoa, Director of the Department of International Cooperation - Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, presented the opening report at the Workshop.

On the basis of the great achievements of the 80-year revolution of building and defending the Fatherland and nearly 40 years of renovation, our country has never had such "foundation, potential, position and international prestige" as today. Facing a historical moment, when the world is undergoing epochal changes, the determination and aspiration of the entire Party and the entire nation to rise up has never been as strong as it is today in order to successfully implement the 100-year strategic goals under the Party's leadership and the 100th anniversary of the country's founding, making our country a developed country with a socialist orientation .

Therefore, to confidently enter the era of national growth, the requirement for our entire Party and people is to raise the level and expand "contributions to peace, cooperation, development and progress of humanity", thereby rising up and affirming that Vietnam "has an important position and role in world politics, the global economy and human civilization".

In the working program of the Politburo, the fifth Secretariat in 2025 set out the task of developing the project "Internationalization of Vietnamese Culture and Vietnamization of International Culture". This is a correct and practical policy, aiming to enhance the position of the country, people and culture of Vietnam in the international arena, while actively contributing to the development of human culture and to the struggle of the world's people for peace, national independence, democracy and social progress...
