In 2023, artists always turn to the city through passionately created works of art. Through today's contributions, it has been shown that more and more cultural and artistic works are being carefully crafted and praised for the city, and the attention and investment in social culture and spiritual life from these works has been improved more effectively. This is the result of listening and absorbing to have the right investment in developing social culture.

"The city's cultural and artistic life has had many new features, especially when the city implemented the "Spring Homeland" program in 2024 in the city, overseas Vietnamese from all over the world returned to celebrate Tet in their hometown, they felt the city's innovation and had many good comments.

I think that, partly thanks to the creative work of the city's artists, useful information has been transmitted to overseas compatriots through cultural and artistic creations. From the perception, overseas Vietnamese have increasingly loved our Ho Chi Minh City. The city's leaders are very appreciative. This result has made us always proud and reminded ourselves to live well, together, each person doing their own work, joining hands to build a civilized, modern, and humane city" - Mr. Phan Van Mai emphasized.
