At the same time, develop Da Nang city into one of the country's cultural - sports, education - training, high-quality healthcare, science - technology development centers and a center for organizing regional and international events.
On the basis of the Party's guidelines and policies and the State's laws, the City Party Committee and the City People's Committee issue decisions, directives, action programs and plans to direct and lead the work of building and developing literature and art in order to promote the city's cultural, literary and artistic values with their own characteristics; encourage the organization and promotion of literary and artistic activities associated with the development of Da Nang people, improve the quality of cultural and spiritual life for the city's people, and contribute to socio -economic development.

Many literary and artistic works and creations are typical, valuable in terms of content, ideology, artistic quality, consistent with the national cultural identity and cultural characteristics of the city, meeting the spiritual needs of the people. The attention and investment in developing literature and art has great significance and importance in building the city's cultural brand, being the driving force, foundation, and long-term basis to create momentum for the development of the city's culture.
It can be seen that the development of cultural infrastructure is an important aspect that creates the foundation for the social, cultural and economic development of a country or locality. With this great significance, in recent times, the Department of Culture and Sports has focused on consulting and proposing investment in the construction and development of cultural infrastructure from the grassroots to the city level, focusing on organizing and promoting the activities of institutions in the most effective way to increasingly attract people to come to play and practice, meet the needs of cultural enjoyment, and improve the cultural and spiritual life of the people.
