Discussion session on the results of implementing the 2025 socio-economic development plan and the projected 2026 socio-economic development plan of the National Assembly on the afternoon of October 29

Discussing and clarifying and proposing a number of solutions and recommendations to strongly promote the development of cultural industries - one of the 11 groups of tasks identified by the Government in the report that need investment - delegate Tran Thi Hong Thanh said that the cultural industry has been identified by the Party and State as an important economic sector, contributing to the preservation and promotion of national identity, while promoting growth, creating jobs, expanding creative space and affirming Vietnam's position in the international arena. Resolution No. 33 dated June 9, 2014 of the Central Executive Committee and the strategy for developing cultural industries until 2030 have laid the foundation for a new development phase of this field.

Up to now, after 4 years of implementing the cultural industry development strategy, Vietnam has formed and expanded many key fields: Cinema, music, fine arts, fashion, advertising, video games, creative design, handicrafts, publishing, cultural tourism and especially performing arts and digital cultural heritage.

Many cultural products have affirmed the Vietnamese brand on the regional map, demonstrated through international events, film festivals or youth creative programs.

However, according to delegates, the scale of Vietnam's creative culture market only accounts for about 4% of GDP, much lower than the average of 7-10% of countries in the region. Creative infrastructure is not yet synchronized, policies to encourage investment, protect intellectual property rights and the creative labor market are still limited, many localities do not have their own strategies for developing cultural industries; planning, human resource training and regional linkages are not clear.
