The event was attended by a large number of experts, scientists, managers, and practitioners in the fields of culture and arts, to exchange and gather opinions to complete the Draft Document, aiming to realize the Party's vision of comprehensive and sustainable development of Vietnamese culture and people in the new period.

In his opening speech at the workshop, Mr. Hoang Ha, Editor-in-Chief of the Culture and Arts Magazine, emphasized: “The draft documents to be submitted to the 14th Party Congress are receiving the attention, response, and enthusiastic contributions of cadres, party members, and people of all walks of life. This is an extremely important political event, aiming to gather the wisdom of the whole society, contributing to the strategic development orientation of our country in the new era - the era of national development, building a rich, civilized, prosperous, happy country, aiming to become a developed, high-income country by 2045.”

Editor-in-Chief of the Hoang Ha Culture and Arts Magazine said: With many new and breakthrough viewpoints, demonstrating an important development in the Party's theoretical thinking in the Draft Documents of the 14th Party Congress, it is urgent to research, analyze and interpret from a scientific perspective, contributing to the arguments to complete the draft documents; at the same time, proposing practical solutions to quickly bring the Party's policies into life after the documents are approved by the 14th Party Congress.

Opinions and presentations at the Workshop focused on clarifying and discussing a number of new contents mentioned in the Draft Document, such as the concept of "regulatory system" (culture becomes a leading, regulating, and orienting factor for social life) and how to resolve the relationship between "cultural regulation" and "legal adjustment" to build a civilized and sustainably developed society.

The workshop also spent time clarifying the connotation of the system of national values - culture - family - human standards, and at the same time proposed specific solutions so that these values penetrate deeply into social life, become daily standards of behavior, contributing to building an advanced Vietnamese culture with strong national identity.

The presentations also mentioned the mechanism of transforming soft power into national competitiveness, proposing breakthrough solutions to make the cultural industry a spearhead economic sector, capable of competing internationally in fields such as cinema, music, design, cultural tourism; developing heritage economy - finding solutions for the harmonious relationship between conservation and development, towards an advanced management model, applying digital transformation; solutions for cultural and artistic human resources to overcome the human resource crisis in specialized art training, building policies to treat and promote talented artists, especially at the grassroots level.

Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Duy Duc, former Director of the Institute of Culture and Development (Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics) affirmed: The draft Action Program of the Central Executive Committee to implement the Resolution of the 14th National Congress demonstrates the Party's strong political determination, concretizing policies and guidelines with clear and transparent actions.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Duy Duc, in the field of culture and people, the Party emphasizes the task of perfecting the institution for developing Vietnamese culture and people, including promulgating a system of national values, culture, family and standards for Vietnamese people; deeply integrating into education, communication and grassroots cultural activities. The new points in the 14th Congress Document on cultural and human development have both theoretical significance (supplementing, developing awareness, raising the Party's thinking level) and practical significance (orienting actions, solving problems of the country). This is the basis for Vietnam to enter a new era with aspirations for prosperity, happiness, sustainable development and affirming its position in the international community.

Professor, Dr. Tu Thi Loan, former Acting Director of the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts, commented: The new viewpoints in the Draft Documents of the 14th National Congress show an important step forward in the Party's theoretical thinking on culture - from considering culture as a spiritual foundation and endogenous resource to clearly identifying culture as "strategic soft power", a key factor in enhancing the country's position and prestige in international integration.

Professor, Dr. Tu Thi Loan emphasized the need to strongly develop the cultural industry, create unique cultural products and forms that have global influence; at the same time, proactively promote the image, cultural values and Vietnamese people to the world. Building and promoting the soft power of Vietnamese culture is not only a goal but also a way to affirm the mettle, intelligence and stature of the Vietnamese people in the new era. When culture becomes an endogenous resource and national soft power, Vietnam will have a solid foundation for rapid and sustainable development and affirm its positive position in the region and the world.

The Organizing Committee said that the comments of experts, researchers, scientists, managers, etc. at the Workshop will be compiled to report to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for consultation and recommendations to the Party and State in the process of completing the Draft Documents of the 14th Party Congress, as well as developing Action Plans and Programs to implement the Resolution of the 14th Congress. The goal is to successfully realize the Party's strategic orientation, ensuring that culture is truly the spiritual foundation, endogenous resource, great driving force, and regulatory system for the country's rapid and sustainable development.
